Branimir Lambov commented on CASSANDRA-18753:
---------------------------------------------
I don't mind removing it, especially if we have a plan for adding it back.
I'll remove it and re-run CI.
> Add an optimized default configuration to tests and make it available for new

> We currently offer only one sample configuration file with Cassandra, and
> that file is deliberately configured to disable all new functionality and
> incompatible improvements. This works well for legacy users that want to have
> a painless upgrade, but is a very bad choice for new users, or anyone wanting
> to make comparisons between Cassandra versions or between Cassandra and other
> databases.
> We offer very little indication, in the database packaging itself, that there
> are well-tested configuration choices that can solve known problems and
> dramatically improve performance. This is guaranteed to paint the database in
> a worse light than it deserves, and will very likely hurt adoption.
> We should find a way to offer a very easy way of choosing between "optimized"
> and "compatible" defaults. At minimal, we could provide alternate yaml files.
> Alternatively, we could build on the {{storage_compatibility_mode}} concept
> to grow it into a setting that not only enables/disables certain settings,
> but also changes their default values.
