I just noticed that, following the Cassandra 0.8 beta release, the Apt repository is encouraging servers in my clusters to upgrade. Beta releases should probably be on different channels (or named differently) than stable ones.
Better yet would be naming the packages based on the major release in order to prevent an inadvertent upgrade, even once the next release stabilizes. For example, having cassandra-0.7 and cassandra-0.8 would be great, with installation of the latter replacing any cassandra-0.7 package. This is common with PHP and MySQL packages where it's not entirely safe to inadvertently do a major upgrade. Thanks, David
