Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-7843: ------------------------------------------- bq. 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. Agreed. I'm totally on board with removing singletons to improve reusability, but where there isn't any reusability to be had it's just masturbation. > Remove static singleton instances > --------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-7843 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7843 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Blake Eggleston > Assignee: Blake Eggleston > > Initialize and start C* from a static method that takes a configuration as an > argument. > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
