[jira] Commented: (CASSANDRA-106) Change default storage directories

["Jonathan Ellis (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-106?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12702779#action_12702779 ] 

Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-106:
------------------------------------------

I'm +1 on making things easier for new users but I think the drawbacks might outweigh the benefits here: using relative paths means that if I run `bin/cassandra` from trunk/, i will have trunk/storage, but if I run `./cassandra` from trunk/bin, i will have trunk/bin/storage.  That's worse than having to mkdir /var/cassandra IMO.
