Here is my contribution to the advent calendar effort (I'm willing to
mentor these tickets):
- CASSANDRA-16436: Add startup check for large read_ahead_kb setting [1]
- CASSANDRA-16664: Log JVM Arguments at in-JVM Test Class Initialization [2]
- CASSANDRA-16584: Allow sstableloader to specify keyspace/table without
relying on path [3]

[1] - <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16436>
[2] - <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16664>
[3] - <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16584>
