Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-971:
------------------------------------------
It looks like our current scripts are working kind of by accident. We are
specifying -Dstorage-config=conf/, which does not work, but also putting that
directory on the classpath, which does.
> simplify configuration file loading

> Key: CASSANDRA-971
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-971
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
> Assignee: Jonathan Ellis
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.7

>
> Currently we can load the configuration file from (a) a full path specified
> by -Dstorage-config, or (b) "storage.conf.xml" located anywhere on the
> classpath (filename may not be changed).
> I think we should figure out what The Right Thing is to do here, and then do
> it, instead of trying multiple guesses in an effort to prevent ... what?
> ISTM that the java idiom here is, look for a default filename on the
> classpath, and allow customizing that name w/ a system property, but when
> taking the property ONLY the filename is customized, not the full path. This
> is what log4j does, for instance.
