Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-7843:
-------------------------------------
I really don't have anything against static singletons. They make testing a bit
harder, but there's not really anything wrong with them for development, so I
don't really consider them technical debt as such. I am probably in the
minority about that, of course, given the amount of disgust I've seen expressed
about their presence.
Could we discuss some specific testing use cases we want to enable, that cannot
be achieved through other means? It would be nice to get a handle on what the
benefit is going to be.
bq. I've also done the refactor in a way that can be reviewed and merged in
smaller chunks.
There are > 400 _commits_. That will be much more challenging than you let on
to even navigate, let alone review. It is likely to be both boring _and_
stressful.

> CassandraDaemon and utilities will need to be updated, and we'll need a
> helper method so tests can instantiate the database with a one or two liner.
