In addition, if you want to get data from large companies that manage their own datacenters, there needs to be a way to contribute data without the software phoning home automatically. We aren't allowed to make connections to the outside world from our datacenter. And I'm not willing to ask for an exception for this. A mode that dumps the data to a file which can be uploaded would be preferable. People probably won't do it often, but imagine if your periodic "how are you using cassandra?" email threads included data? -ryan
