barrier-of-entry: make ./bin/cassandra -f work out of the box by changing
default cassandra.yaml
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-3570
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3570
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Peter Schuller
Assignee: Peter Schuller
Priority: Trivial
This is probably going to be controversial. But how about the attached simple
patch to just have ./db exist, and then have Cassandra configured to use that
by default? This makes it a lot easier for people to just run Cassandra out of
the working copy, whether you are a developer or a user who wants to apply a
patch when being assisted by a Cassandra developer.
A real deployment with packaging should properly override these paths anyway,
and the default /var/lib stuff is pretty useless. Even if you are root on the
machine, who it is much cleaner to just run self-contained.
Yes, I am aware that you can over-ride the configuration but honestly, that's
just painful. Especially when switching between various versions of Cassandra.
