Gary Dusbabek commented on CASSANDRA-1001:
------------------------------------------

Whatever we choose, it needs to be explicit.  If it's not, there is no way to distinguish from a node that a user wishes to load from xml from a a node that a user wishes to load from gossip.

Post 0.7+1, one idea is to move the loadFromXML code and a snippet of XML into contrib and supply some sort of tool that will load manually that way.

> As seen on the mailinglist and from own experience the CASSANDRA-44 changes make it slightly confusing for a first time user to get his first Cassandra instance up and running. We should reduce the risk of turning away potential users.
> * Improve our messaging (README, error msg, NEWS etc). 
> * Make it much easier to load/create a schema after a first startup. Starting jconsole and digging around for some obscure loading method is confusing and time consuming, we should provide a simple tool to do so.
