Hi, I'm getting a bit lost - what are the exact differences between those test scenarios? What are the criteria for qualifying a test to be part of a certain scenario?
I'm working a little bit with tests and build scripts and the number of different configurations for which we have a separate target in the build starts to be problematic, I cannot imagine how problematic it is for a new contributor. It is not urgent, but we should at least have a plan on how to simplify and unify things. I'm in favour of reducing the number of test targets to the minimum - for different configurations I think we should provide a parameter pointing to jvm options file and maybe to cassandra.yaml. I know that we currently do some super hacky things with cassandra yaml for different configs - like concatenting parts of it. I presume it is not necessary - we can have a default test config yaml and a directory with overriding yamls; while building we could have a tool which is able to load the default configuration, apply the override and save the resulting yaml somewhere in the build/test/configs for example. That would allows us to easily use those yamls in IDE as well - currently it is impossible. What do you think? Thank you and my apologize for bothering about lower priority stuff while we have a 5.0 release headache... Jacek
