Auth/roles has a non-negligible impact on performance, and isn’t otherwise required by most users. And for some operators getting involved at CQL layer isn’t really viable. If you have hundreds/thousands of clusters and only control the yaml and configs.
Adding another flag is something we can do today, and in a minor. The capability framework work seems to be abandoned at the moment, and in the best case scenario will only happen in 4.0, if at all. — AY On 5 October 2017 at 01:19:25, kurt greaves (k...@instaclustr.com) wrote: Operators do need a way to disable features, but it makes a lot more sense to have that as part of the auth/roles system rather than yaml properties.
