Nick Bailey commented on CASSANDRA-1126:
----------------------------------------

Hmm good point.  

It would still be possible to do it with that patch though. You'd just need a directory for each conf and to wrap the  call to cassandra with something that sets the conf variable.  

Not quite as easy as the command line I suppose.

> As a convenience, predominantly for testing but also for some levels of automated ops, it would be helpful to allow cassandra.yaml to be specified explicitly during startup as opposed to always reading it from the classpath which cannot be altered at runtime (not easily anyway).
> Sample patch attached that reads -D property cassandra.conf and gives it preference over any entry on the classpath.
