Mike Adamson commented on CASSANDRA-8534:
-----------------------------------------

If the configURL fails to load as a URL then the code attempts to load the configuration as a resource which does not need the file:// prefix. This code must work because the default launch scripts do not add the cassandra.config system property and they successfully find a cassandra.yaml from the classpath.

> In the class org.apache.cassandra.config.YamlConfigurationLoader, the DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION is set to "cassandra.yaml". This is improperly formatted as it does not contain the prefix "file://". If this value is used, a ConfigurationException is thrown (see line 73 of the same class).
> A solution is to set the cassandra.config system property, but this does not solve the underlying problem. A vanilla Cassandra installation will throw this error.
