Todd Blose commented on CASSANDRA-1000:
---------------------------------------

Patch attached.

Summary:

- new shell script in bin to initiate the conversion: config-converter

- new Converter class in org.apache.cassandra.config. It locates the old config 
using the classpath (looks for both cassandra.xml and storage-conf.xml), uses 
XmlUtils to extract the old values, and finally generates the new config to 
where the previous config resided (with the obvious name change).

> Create migratory script to generate new YAML config from cassandra.xml

> This is to ensure existing users will have no issues making the transition to 
> YAML (CASSANDRA-990).
> The easiest way of accomplishing this to me would involve a single perl 
> script that takes as input the original XML config. The config would then be 
> handled by an XML parser to extract the values contained in it. After that 
> phase, the data would then be serialized to YAML and dumped into the new 
> document, according to the schema outlined in CASSANDRA-990. Therefore, 
> migrating to the new configuration would involve nothing more than calling 
> the script with the original configuration file as input.
