[jira] Created: (CASSANDRA-1001) Improve messaging and reduce barrier to entry post CASSANDRA-44

Improve messaging and reduce barrier to entry post CASSANDRA-44
---------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CASSANDRA-1001
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1001
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
            Reporter: Johan Oskarsson


As seen on the mailinglist and from own experience the CASSANDRA-44 changes make it slightly confusing for a first time user to get his first Cassandra instance up and running. We should reduce the risk of turning away potential users.

* Improve our messaging (README, error msg, NEWS etc). 
* Make it much easier to load/create a schema after a first startup. Starting jconsole and digging around for some obscure loading method is confusing and time consuming, we should provide a simple tool to do so.

Stu Hood commented on CASSANDRA-1001:
-------------------------------------

> let's expose StorageService.loadSchemaFromYAML in nodetool and call this good
Also, naming it something that implies an upgrade would be helpful: CASSANDRA-1237 would like to hook into this upgrade process, and it isn't really Yaml related.

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

I do agree and I wonder, as commented by Ryan King on [CASSANDRA-957|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-957],
wouldn't [CASSANDRA-526|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-526] be the way to go ? That way we could load schema, 
start the bootstrap and more on brand new nodes.

Gary Dusbabek commented on CASSANDRA-1001:
------------------------------------------

Whatever we choose, it needs to be explicit.  If it's not, there is no way to distinguish from a node that a user wishes to load from xml from a a node that a user wishes to load from gossip.

Post 0.7+1, one idea is to move the loadFromXML code and a snippet of XML into contrib and supply some sort of tool that will load manually that way.

Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1001:
-------------------------------------------

I'm not sure that we need more than a better Upgrading section in NEWS.  loadFromXML is pretty dirt simple.  Of course you are welcome to add it to nodetool if "digging around for some obscure loading method" is too hard.
