[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-7587) sstablekeys does not work with default configuration

["Tyler Hobbs (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7587?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14072207#comment-14072207 ] 

Tyler Hobbs commented on CASSANDRA-7587:
----------------------------------------

Since sstablekeys (and many of the other tools) need to know the schema, it seems like we have a couple of choices:
# Set {{-Dcassandra.storagedir}} in all of the shell scripts for the tools
# When DatabaseDescriptor is being initialized, don't complain about commitlog/data/saved_caches not being set.  If those are actually used later, throw a ConfigurationException.

Some of the tools (e.g. upgradesstables) need to know what the data directories are, so option #2 isn't enough by itself.  For that reason, I'm leaning towards #1.
