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

             Summary: Refactor stress options to reduce prominence of legacy modes (counter_read, etc.)
                 Key: CASSANDRA-8600
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8600
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Tools
            Reporter: Benedict
            Priority: Minor


There;s an asymmetry to how we treat these, with all four legacy commands (read, write, counter_read, counter_write) getting their own full-blown command, whereas the "user" command is comparatively almost hidden.  There are also two option sets that apply only to the legacy commands ("schema" and "cols") which isn't at all apparent.

We should clean this up, by e.g. renaming "user" to "profile" or something more obvious, and dropping the four old commands and renaming "mixed" to "simple"  - this would give "simple" a similar spec style to "profile". We should then make it clear that "cols" and "schema" only apply to the "simple" mode, and should fail if they are supplied otherwise.

We can of course continue to accept all of the old ways of specifying commands if we want, and just not print them out in the help.
