Hello, I'd like to make some changes to cassandra so that when starting up a node in a cluster, another node starts in another cluster. That requires that the two nodes have different configurations, but DatabaseDescriptor (where I think all the config reading is done) seems to load everything statically when the class is loaded. The configuration path seems to reside in System.getProperties(). Can you suggest a way for me to build a second node with a different configuration path in the same code?
Unfortunately, I cannot simply launch two different cassandra instances on the same computer, as I want the second node to have access to information from the first node, such as node load for the first cluster and such (plus even running two separate cassandra instances on the same node seems to require workarounds and hacks).
