# These volume mounts are persistent. They are like inline claims,

# the stateful pod volumes.
volumeMounts:

# These are converted to volume claims by the controller
# and mounted at the paths mentioned above.
# do not use these in production until ssd GCEPersistentDisk or other ssd pd

Now I need to add below line to cassandra-env.sh in postStart or in cassandra yaml file:
-JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS
-javaagent:$CASSANDRA_HOME/lib/cassandra-exporter-agent-<version>.jar"
Now I was able to achieve this, but after this step, Cassandra requires a restart but as it's already running as a pod, I don't know how to restart the process. So is there any way that this step is done prior to running the pod and not after it is up?
I was suggested below solution:-
This won’t work. Commands that run postStart don’t impact the running container. You need to change the startup commands passed to Cassandra.
The only way that I know to do this is to create a new container image in the artifactory based on the existing image. and pull from there.
But I don't know how to achieve this.
