[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-12054) Add CQL Data Modeler to tree
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12054?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel=15344653#comment-15344653 ] Joshua McKenzie commented on CASSANDRA-12054: - Current stress is badly in need of some user-friendliness so I'd counsel against making this ticket contingent on anything other than a minimum viable to get it in-tree. We should do 2,5,7, and potential for running stress and storing history as separate efforts. > Add CQL Data Modeler to tree > > > Key: CASSANDRA-12054 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12054 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature >Reporter: Sebastian Estevez > > cassandra-stess, like many powerful tools, is not easy to use.
