> -----------------------------------------

> Key: CASSANDRA-990
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-990
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 0.7
> Reporter: Todd Blose
> Assignee: Todd Blose
> Attachments: CASSANDRA-990.patch, cassandra.yaml, cassandra.yaml
>
>
> This is an entire rewrite of the XML storage configuration to YAML, inspired
> by the discussion in CASSANDRA-671.
> DatabaseDescriptor now parses conf/cassandra.yaml. It behaves the same way as
> before, but instead of dealing with an XML parse tree, a yaml parser is now
> created that associates a custom Java class with the entire config (Config).
> In addition, keyspace and column family YAML entries are deserialized to
> KSMetaData and CFMetaData instances, respectively.
> This was implemented using SnakeYaml (http://code.google.com/p/snakeyaml/).
> There are numerous benefits to this new approach: 1) a complete shifting away
> from an outdated, verbose data format 2) a cleaner, less bulky,
> human-readable config 3) significantly less code 4) simplicity of obtaining
> default values
> Attached along with the patch are the replacement configurations for
> conf/cassandra.xml and test/conf/cassandra.xml, to emphasize the benefits of
> the transition, should the community approve of it.
