What does "replacing" actually mean? If this tool is added to a separate repository, you mean like it would be put there under the "easy-cass-lab" name and all source code of cassandra-stress in the Cassandra repository would be removed? Are we going to deprecate what we have first or it is going to be a big bang?
Should not be easy-cass-lab renamed to "cassandra-stress"? I do not think that "easy-cass-lab" should be the name of a repo we are going to use. For a custom tool living outside of Cassandra until now, sure, but the official stress tool should not be called "easy-cass-lab". People would be like ... what? IMHO we should rename it to cassandra-stress. On Sun, Oct 13, 2024 at 8:33 PM Brad <bscho...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm +1 on replacing the existing cassandra-stress.
