Albert P Tobey commented on CASSANDRA-7136:
-------------------------------------------
Agreed on $CASSANDRA_HOME/data.
Having slept on it, I don't think the defaults in cassandra.yaml should change.
It should always reflect sane defaults for *production* use. What we're talking
about here is non-production, so it gets the short straw and will do the yaml
mangling.
I'm leaning towards adding a separate launcher script as well, something like
./run_ephemeral.sh or some other name with obvious meaning. Various
installations and testing packages have come to expect consistent behavior from
the current setup and there's no good reason to change those if we can simply
add another script.
