Edge Private Cloud 4.15.07 Cassandra Code With Configuration (CWC)

[#1]

In 4.15.07, a new feature Code with Configuration (CWC) is introduced to the Cassandra component.

Changing Cassandra configurations requires understanding of the following:

• What is CWC for? Preserve custom configuration settings between release upgrades, prevent product outage due to overridden configuration, and reduce troubleshooting time.
• CWC directory hierarchy in 4.15.07: ${APIGEE_ROOT}/apigee4/source contains Cassandra-related files with the configuration names. ${APIGEE_ROOT}/apigee4/token/application/cassandra.properties contains all of the default configuration values for Cassandra.
• Location of the change: Create/update the file ${APIGEE_ROOT}/apigee4/customer/application/cassandra.properties and add the configuration definition to the file.

How to make the change:

For example, to change authenticator in cassandra.yaml from AllowAllAuthenticator to PasswordAuthenticator.

1. Find the configuration name by searching for "authenticator" in ${APIGEE_ROOT}/apigee4/source/conf/cassandra/cassandra.yaml and it is authenticator: {T}conf_cassandra_cassandra_authenticator{/T}
2. Add/edit the file ${APIGEE_ROOT}/apigee4/customer/application/cassandra.properties to include this line: conf_cassandra_cassandra_authenticator=PasswordAuthenticator
3. Restart the Cassandra component by either:
   • ${APIGEE_ROOT}/apigee4/bin/all-stop.sh, then ${APIGEE_ROOT}/apigee4/bin/all-start.sh
   or
   • ${APIGEE_ROOT}/apigee4/etc/init.d/apigee-cassandra stop, then ${APIGEE_ROOT}/apigee4/etc/init.d/apigee-cassandra start
4. Verify the change in ${APIGEE_ROOT}/apigee4/conf/cassandra/cassandra.yaml.

Changes made to ${APIGEE_ROOT}/opt/apigee4/conf/cassandra/cassandra.yaml directly could be overridden after a Cassandra restart.

Please be aware that the CWC feature will be applied to all components in 4.16.01. There are improvements and directory hierarchy changes.The feature will have a complete set of instructions.
