Hi C* devs - Small request and a slightly larger question ...
I have a small PR out as a first step towards (CEP-50: Auth negotiation) - Refactoring out most assumptions of a single authenticator outside of Config and DatabaseDescriptor: https://github.com/apache/cassandra/pull/4427 ... gentle ping if anyone wants to take a look.
Larger question - I'm used to a workflow where devs submit a number of small CRs/PRs building up a larger piece of work, instead of posting one or two big reviews at the end. I want to verify what this community prefers. One advantage I can see to fewer, bigger PRs is that there is more context to evaluate the overall approach with. E.g., with the PR mentioned above, it might not be obvious from the changes in the PR what the larger intent is, so it could look like low-value code reshuffling, rather than a building block.
So, what working style would be better for you? Thanks -- Joel.
