In my experience, "class not found" exceptions are a symptom of another problem. I see this error often when using Java 11 with Cassandra. Cassandra 4.0 added support for Java 11 (CASSANDRA-16894) but older versions of Cassandra only work with Java 8.

DataStax Enterprise 6.8 is compatible with Cassandra 3.11 which only supports Java 8. DSE will successfully start with Java 11 but it hasn't been tested or certified so it's not recommended in production.

Additionally, ARM64 architecture (Apple M1 chip) is not officially supported yet. It is on our roadmap but I have no timeframes to share at this point. Cheers!

[UPDATE] Other developers who have an Apple M1 Mac advised that they are able to run DSE with Apple Rosetta 2 installed. I don't have access to a M1 device to test this workaround so YMMV. :)
