------------------------------------
Labels: stress (was: )
> Improve cassandra-stress help pages
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-8500
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8500
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Tools
> Reporter: Benedict

> cassandra-stress is flummoxing a lot of people. As well as rewriting its
> README, we should improve the help pages so that they're more legible.
> We should offer an "all" option that prints every sub-page, so it can be
> scanned like a README (and perhaps make the basis of said file), and we
> should at least stop printing all of the distribution parameter options every
> time they appear, as they're very common now.
> Offering some help about how to make the best out of the help might itself be
> a good idea, as well as perhaps printing what all of the options within each
> subgroup are in the summary page, so there is no pecking at them to be done.
> There should be a dedicated distribution help page that can explain all of
> the parameters that are currently just given names we hope are sufficiently
> descriptive.
> Finally, we should make sure all of the descriptions of each option are clear.
