I am trying to deploy a Cassandra Kubernetes pod as in here, except I am using my own Cassandra image, which deploys version 3.11.3 with JDK 8-201. The infrastructure is an AWS cluster composed by c4.2xlarge nodes.

The container launches successfully but the Cassandra deployment fails with the following error:

# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  SIGBUS (0x7) at pc=0x00007f5c77622d84, pid=73, tid=0x00007f5c79e64700

#
# An error report file with more information is saved as:
# /opt/apache-cassandra-3.11.3/bin/hs_err_pid73.log

I am not sure if it helps, but here is the full log:

One thing that I find relevant (not sure if it really is) is that I used this exact docker image with Docker swarm and I did not have this problem, I only reproduce it using Kubernetes. Moreover, I tried also Cassandra 3.13.1 and JDK 8_152, also with the same result.

Does anybody know what is causing this problem and how to fix it?

Thank you for your help.
