Chris Goffinet commented on CASSANDRA-671:
------------------------------------------
I'd be in favor of yaml over XML. Jonathan the biggest mishap we usually see on
new directives being added is we have to go through both files to check. Can I
suggest that on startup we print out all the directives that are missing from
config? Instead of bailing at the first one? (That way we can also show the
default values).

> Key: CASSANDRA-671
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-671
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Environment: debian lenny amd64 OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build
> 1.6.0_0-b11, mixed mode)
> Reporter: Brandon Williams
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.9
>
>
> Some configuration options when not present in the config file, such as
> MemtableObjectCountInMillions, will provide a default. Others, such as
> DiskAccessMode will bail with a cryptic error. Behavior amongst all the
> options should be consistent, and warnings should be emitted if defaults are
> being used.
