Benedict Elliott Smith commented on CASSANDRA-15234: ---------------------------------------------------- I haven't looked closely at this patch, but [~maedhroz] pointed out on another ticket that namespaces are a possibility, and this could dramatically simplify understanding the config file, and improve parameter naming as we try to shoe horn fewer things into a crazy long snake case name. Has this been considered? I don't want to muck things up this late in the game, but if we're doing this once, we should consider all the options - and I hope this change would be relatively minor compared to all the work [~e.dimitrova] has done (if we decide it makes sense, even, of course). > Standardise config and JVM parameters > ------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-15234 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15234 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Local/Config > Reporter: Benedict Elliott Smith > Assignee: Ekaterina Dimitrova > Priority: Normal > Fix For: 4.0-alpha > > Attachments: CASSANDRA-15234-3-DTests-JAVA8.txt > > > We have a bunch of inconsistent names and config patterns in the codebase, > both from the yams and JVM properties.
