 * The Apache Cassandra container has been migrated to a non-root user approach. Previously the container ran as the `root` user and the Apache Cassandra daemon was started as the `cassandra` user. From now on, both the container and the Apache Cassandra daemon run as user `1001`. As a consequence, the data directory must be writable by that user. You can revert this behavior by changing `USER 1001` to `USER root` in the Dockerfile.
