Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-7136:
-------------------------------------------
There's a few minor niggles here:
# We don't want to just use ./ since that will do different things depending on
cwd when user invokes bin/cassandra, but
# I'm pretty sure Java won't convert ~ notation into The Right Thing,
especially on Windows. So if we want it to Just Work out of the box, we might
need to say, "leave it blank for us to programmatically determine your home
directory."
# The debian package won't be able to just use cassandra.yaml from the tree;
we'll need to sed /var/ paths back in
> Change default paths to ~ instead of /var
