All of Apache is a patchwork of tools. All of Open Source is a patchwork of tools. All of Linux is a patchwork of tools.
What works, works. If it wasn’t a patchwork, open source wouldn’t be what it is. Period. OSS Cassandra can use all the help it can get — in terms of documentation, and tooling. Personally I think starting out with documenting it for people is a good start. Then maybe if there’s a thought later, a “distribution” approach can be taken. When you think about the application developer or administrator, they are different from who we are. They don’t give a shit about “patchwork” or perfection, they just care to get their job done and make shit happen. Who cares if one tool is in Java, and another is in Kotlin, and another is a shell script that uses PSSH? Something that works is better than nothing.
