Cause
The sstableloader was not picking up the cassandra.yaml file
Solution
Use the -f switch with the sstableloader to point it to the location of the cassandra.yaml file:
sudo sstableloader -v -d 127.0.0.1 -u cassandra -pw cassandra /var/lib/cassandra/data/Keyspace1/Standard1 -f /etc/dse/cassandra/cassandra.yaml
