CCM (Cassandra Cluster Manager) CASSANDRA-17379 README

----   

WARNING - CCM configuration changes using updateconf does not happen according to CASSANDRA-17379

After CASSANDRA-15234, to support the Python upgrade tests CCM updateconf is replacing new key name and value in case the old key name and value is provided. For example, if you add to config permissions_validity_in_ms, it will replace permissions_validity in default cassandra.yaml This was needed to ensure correct overloading as CCM cassandra.yaml has keys sorted lexicographically. CASSANDRA-17379 was opened to improve the user experience and deprecate the overloading of parameters in cassandra.yaml. In CASSANDRA 4.1+, by default, we refuse starting Cassandra with a config containing both old and new config keys for the same parameter. Start Cassandra with -Dcassandra.allow_new_old_config_keys=true to override. For historical reasons duplicate config keys in cassandra.yaml are allowed by default, start Cassandra with -Dcassandra.allow_duplicate_config_keys=false to disallow this. Please note that key_cache_save_period, row_cache_save_period, counter_cache_save_period will be affected only by -Dcassandra.allow_duplicate_config_keys. Ticket CASSANDRA-17949 was opened to decide the future of CCM updateconf post CASSANDRA-17379, until then - bear in mind that old replace new parameters' in cassandra.yaml when using updateconf even if -Dcassandra.allow_new_old_config_keys=false is set by default.

TLDR Do not exercise overloading of parameters in CCM if possible. Also, the mentioned changes are done only in master branch. Probably the best way to handle cassandra 4.1 in CCM at this point is to set -Dcassandra.allow_new_old_config_keys=false and -Dcassandra.allow_duplicate_config_keys=false to prohibit any kind of overloading when using CCM master and CCM released versions
