Hello everyone,
We are trying to clean up the source code around the direct use of system properties and make this use more manageable and transparent. To achieve this, I have prepared a patch that moves all system property names to the CassandraRelevantProperties, which in turn makes some of the properties visible to a user through the SystemPropertiesTable virtual table. The patch has passed a few rounds of review, but we still need another pair of eyes to make sure we are not missing anything valuable. Please, take a look at the patch. You can find all the changes here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17797 I'd also like to share the names of the properties that will appear in the SystemPropertiesTable, the appearance of which is related to the public API changes we agreed to discuss on the dev list. The public API changes Newly production system properties added: io.netty.eventLoopThreads io.netty.transport.estimateSizeOnSubmit java.security.auth.login.config javax.rmi.ssl.client.enabledCipherSuites javax.rmi.ssl.client.enabledProtocols ssl.enable log4j2.disable.jmx log4j2.shutdownHookEnabled logback.configurationFile Newly added and used for tests only: invalid-legacy-sstable-root legacy-sstable-root org.apache.cassandra.tools.UtilALLOW_TOOL_REINIT_FOR_TEST org.caffinitas.ohc.segmentCount suitename sun.stderr.encoding sun.stdout.encoding test.bbfailhelper.enabled write_survey
