In addition, > the options syntax for username, password, and others are not aligned with > the format used by CQLSH. > Currently, there are > 5K lines of code in 'settings' which appears to just > process command line args. > This suggestion is to: > > a) Upgrade cassandra-stress to use Apache Commons CLI (no new dependencies > are required as this library is already used by the project) > > b) Align the cassandra-stress CLI options with those in CQLSH, > > {quote}For example, using the new syntax like CQLSH: > {quote} > > cassandra-stress -username foo -password bar > {quote}and replacing the old syntax: > {quote} > cassandra-stress -mode username=foo and password=bar > > This will simplify and unify the code base, eliminate code and reduce the > confusion between similar named classes such as > org.apache.cassandra.stress.settings.\{Option, OptionsMulti, OptionsSimple} > and org.apache.commons.cli.{Option, OptionGroup, Options) > > Note: documentation will need to be updated as well -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@cassandra.apache.org
