> Key: CASSANDRA-17736
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17736
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Local/Config
> Reporter: Ekaterina Dimitrova
> Priority: Normal
> Fix For: 4.0.x, 4.1.x, 4.x
>
>
> There are a few properties that after startup do not show their assigned
> values as per the DatabaseDescriptor assignment but the cassandra.yaml value.
> They will not be also updated in the virtual table down the road in case they
> are updated through JMX, nodetool etc.
> EDIT: This ticket should serve to check the properties that are not type
> Duration, Data Storage and Data Rate; also that are not new to 4.1. I will
> post a list of who are those later today for convenience. We target all those
> in Config class (some advanced properties are not broadly advertised in
> cassandra.yaml intentionally).
> There is [Settings Virtual Table
> |https://cassandra.apache.org/doc/trunk/cassandra/new/virtualtables.html#settings-virtual-table]
> which is supposed to show the values for our config parameters at any time.
> Especially useful if any property was changed after startup through
> JMX/nodetool and it doesn't match anymore the value in cassandra.yaml. For
> this to be possible, we need to ensure that the parameters are always updated
> in the Config class. It was observed that some are not always updating in
> Config class, but after startup delegating to other internal variables. This
> is a bug and this task should review and address any new findings.
> Classes of interest -
> [SettingsTable|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/virtual/SettingsTable.java]
> where you can see how config parameters are listed;
> [Config|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/config/Config.java]
> class where our configuration parameters are defined.
> We need patches 4.0 and above. I suggest you start looking into 4.0 branch
> and then merge into higher branches. As you won't be checking the data
> storage, data rate and duration type parameters, there shouldn't be many
> conflicts on merge.
> We have a lot of parameters and I suggest you split the list into batches to
> check and produce patches where/if needed to make the work more incremental
> and easier to work on and review it.
