Could you please clarify that: 1. when I upgrade to a newer version, would that retain my previous configurations so that I don't need to configure everything again ? 2. would that smoothly replace the previous installation by itself ? 3. what's the way (kindly, if you can tell the command) to upgrade ? 4. when should I prefer datastax's dsc to that ? (I need to install for production env.)
