The comment on this change is: Documented -Dcassandra.config usage. http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/StorageConfiguration?action=diff&rev1=18&rev2=19 -------------------------------------------------- - Cassandra storage configuration is described by the ''conf/storage-conf.xml'' file. As the syntax evolves with releases, this wiki page tries to document those changes using ''[New in X.Y: ....]'' lines. + Prior to the 0.7 release, Cassandra storage configuration is described by the ''conf/storage-conf.xml'' file. As of 0.7, it is described by the ''conf/cassandra.yaml'' file. As the syntax evolves with releases, this wiki page tries to document those changes using ''[New in X.Y: ....]'' lines. + + == -Dcassandra.config == + ''[New in 0.7:'' + + You can specify any configuration to load by passing a VM parameter to java when Cassandra starts up. This is done by supplying a value to ''-Dcassandra.conf=<your value here>''. Values can include files located in the classpath or local and remote URLs. Here are a few valid examples: + ||'''Value'''||'''Implication'''|| + ||''-Dcassandra.config=alternate-cassandra.yaml''||loads ''alternate-cassandra.yaml'' if it can be found in the cassandra classpath.|| + ||''-Dcassandra.config=http://www.example.com/remote-cassandra.yaml''||loads a configuration file from a remote host.|| + ||''-Dcassandra.config=file:///home/me/external-local-cassandra.yaml''||loads a local configuration file that is not located in the cassandra classpath.|| + '']'' == AutoBootstrap == ''[New in 0.5:''
