Greetings, I have created a pull request [1] as a work in progress for CASSANDRA-17773.
The idea here is to move the boiler plate include of cassandra.in.sh and cassandra-env.sh into one sourced script that also provides a function (verify_env) to verify that required variables are set. verify_env will also display the value of the required and other requested vars if the ENV_DEBUG environment var is set. Documentation can be found in the cassandra-conf.sh file. Example usage is provided in the modified nodetool script. Please let me know if this seems like a good response to the issues from CASSANDRA-17773 If this seems appropriate then my plan is to modify the other scripts in the /bin directory to utilize the cassandra-conf.sh script.
