Benedict Elliott Smith commented on CASSANDRA-17292:
----------------------------------------------------
Though I think resource limits are helpful to colocate for independent reasons,
and fundamentally are the main use of the config file for most users, I am by
no means wed to this concept or structure - like I said, I originally pursued a
feature style structure.
I am, however, fairly wed to the idea of API consistency - I think the kind of
examples I gave of logically inconsistent groupings, and ambiguous or arbitrary
terminology and groupings are bad, and perhaps worse than what we have today
(or at least not strictly better). I think if we want to use these groupings,
we need to give a lot more thought to the groupings to make them more
consistent and obvious.

> Recent mailing list conversation (see "[DISCUSS] Nested YAML configs for new
> features") has made it clear we will gravitate toward appropriately nested
> structures for new parameters in {{cassandra.yaml}}, but from the scattered
> conversation across a few Guardrails tickets (see CASSANDRA-17212 and
> CASSANDRA-17148) and CASSANDRA-15234, there is also a general desire to
> eventually extend this to the rest of {{cassandra.yaml}}. The benefits of
> this change include those we gain by doing it for new features (single point
> of interest for feature documentation, typed configuration objects, logical
> grouping for additional parameters added over time, discoverability, etc.),
> but one a larger scale.
> This may overlap with ongoing work, including the Guardrails epic. Ideally,
> even a rough cut of a design here would allow that to move forward in a
> timely and coherent manner (with less long-term refactoring pain).
> While these would have to be adjusted to CASSANDRA-15234 (probably after it
> merges), there have been two proposals floated already for what this might
> look like:
