[jira] Commented: (CASSANDRA-1126) Allow loading of cassandra.yaml from a location given on the commandline

["Nick Bailey (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1126?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12895730#action_12895730 ] 

Nick Bailey commented on CASSANDRA-1126:
----------------------------------------

The patch in CASSANDRA-1347 modifies cassandra.in.sh to only modify CASSANDRA_CONF if it is not already set. Not exactly the goal of the title of this ticket but allows for the same result. Personally I don't really see a need for being able to rename the configuration files.

> As a convenience, predominantly for testing but also for some levels of automated ops, it would be helpful to allow cassandra.yaml to be specified explicitly during startup as opposed to always reading it from the classpath which cannot be altered at runtime (not easily anyway).
> Sample patch attached that reads -D property cassandra.conf and gives it preference over any entry on the classpath.
