diff cassandra.yaml 1.2 -- 2.1

Hi guys, I am looking at added and dropped option in Cassandra between 1.2.18 and 2.0.11 and this makes me wonder: Why has the index_interval option been removed from cassandra.yaml ? I know we can also define it on a per table basis, yet, this global option was quite useful to tune memory

What you are asking maybe answer in the code level and pretty deep stuff, at least from user (like me) point of view. But to quote Jonathan in CASSANDRA-3534, Then you will be able to say use X amount of memory for memtables, Y amount for the cache (and monitor Z amount for the bloom filters)

I made an error on Topic title. We are indeed going to do it (that's why I made the mistake), but I am speaking of 1.2 -- 2.0 here, and we will start by this before going to 2.1, since we want to do it in rolling upgrade way. Thanks for your enlightening pointer about this vanished pressure
