Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-3570:
-------------------------------------------
As the only? committer not using a Unix-based primary workstation, I suppose it
falls to me to point out that /var/* is not a cross-platform standard either.
> barrier-of-entry: make ./bin/cassandra -f work out of the box by changing
> default cassandra.yaml

> 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.
