Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Cassandra Wiki" for change notification.
The "StorageConfiguration" page has been changed by JonHermes. http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/StorageConfiguration?action=diff&rev1=19&rev2=20 -------------------------------------------------- - 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. + 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. + + == config-converter == + To convert a working storage-conf.xml into yaml, bin/config-converter will complete a best-effort conversion. It assumes that your xml file is at conf/storage-conf.xml, and it will overwrite the file. Note though that the scope of many properties have changed (<EndPointSnitch> is global instead of per-KS, <GCGraceSeconds> is per-KS instead of global, etc.), so config-converter will not produce the exact same file. == -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:''
