Ted Zlatanov commented on CASSANDRA-743:
----------------------------------------
Here's the original context:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.cassandra.devel/557/focus=571
Given two machines with identical storage-conf.xml except for directories, for
example, currently you need two separate storage-conf.xml files with 99%
identical contents. This quickly becomes painful if other parameters vary
slightly, too. You can see Anthony Molinaro's situation and mine is very
similar.
This patch refactors storage-conf.xml to be a single top configuration file
with included configuration sections for seeds, tuning, directories, and
networking. It all uses XML facilities (as recommended by the XML FAQ at
http://xml.silmaril.ie/authors/includes) so no code changes are required.
As I said, it doesn't have to go into SVN (although I think it improves the
current monolithic XML file a bit). It can just go on the wiki as a
suggestion, which I'll do at
http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/StorageConfiguration if you reject the patch.

> I hope to get includes working (as discussed on the dev mailing list in
> November 2009) so Cassandra configs can be split into a generic and a
> machine-specific piece. That would make deployments easier.
