--------------------------------------------------

- Cassandra storage configuration is described by the ''conf/storage-conf.xml'' file. As the syntax evolves with releases, this wiki page tries to document those changes using ''[New in X.Y: ....]'' lines.
+ Prior to the 0.7 release, Cassandra storage configuration is described by the ''conf/storage-conf.xml'' file. As of 0.7, it is described by the  ''conf/cassandra.yaml'' file. As the syntax evolves with releases, this wiki page tries to document those changes using ''[New in X.Y: ....]'' lines.

+ 
+ You can specify any configuration to load by passing a VM parameter to java when Cassandra starts up.  This is done by supplying a value to ''-Dcassandra.conf=<your value here>''.  Values can include files located in the classpath or local and remote URLs.  Here are a few valid examples:
+ ||'''Value'''||'''Implication'''||
+ ||''-Dcassandra.config=alternate-cassandra.yaml''||loads ''alternate-cassandra.yaml'' if it can be found in the cassandra classpath.||
+ ||''-Dcassandra.config=&#104;ttp://www.example.com/remote-cassandra.yaml''||loads a configuration file from a remote host.||
+ ||''-Dcassandra.config=&#102;ile:///home/me/external-local-cassandra.yaml''||loads a local configuration file that is not located in the cassandra classpath.||
