Benedict Elliott Smith commented on CASSANDRA-15234:
----------------------------------------------------

> I am fairly opposed to shipping this in its current form and creating more 
> churn for operators when we change it again in the near future

To be more explicit: I am (binding) -1 knowingly shipping an _interim_ solution 
for a public API.  It is user unfriendly.

I agree it is suboptimal to bring this to the ticket late in the game, but that 
is how the world sometimes works.  This was not capricious or deliberate; 
nobody had thought of or suggested this until now, and everyone has since 
agreed this is a superior approach.

If everyone changes their mind and agrees the current approach is the final and 
_superior_ solution, that is another matter.  It would be a bit odd, however, 
implied positions so far.

> We have a bunch of inconsistent names and config patterns in the codebase, 
> both from the yams and JVM properties.  It would be nice to standardise the 
> naming (such as otc_ vs internode_) as well as the provision of values with 
> units - while maintaining perpetual backwards compatibility with the old 
> parameter names, of course.
> For temporal units, I would propose parsing strings with suffixes of:
> {{code}}
> u|micros(econds?)?
> ms|millis(econds?)?
> s(econds?)?
> m(inutes?)?
> h(ours?)?
> d(ays?)?
> mo(nths?)?
> {{code}}
> For rate units, I would propose parsing any of the standard {{B/s, KiB/s, 
> MiB/s, GiB/s, TiB/s}}.
> Perhaps for avoiding ambiguity we could not accept bauds {{bs, Mbps}} or 
> powers of 1000 such as {{KB/s}}, given these are regularly used for either 
> their old or new definition e.g. {{KiB/s}}, or we could support them and 
> simply log the value in bytes/s.
