Description

Installation details Scylla version (or git commit hash): 2.1

Scylla setup consists of two parts (for example for CentOS)

  1. running scylla_setup, for OS and Scylla configuration
  2. updating scylla.yaml parameters:
  • cluster_name
  • seeds
  • listen_address
  • rpc_address

It will be easier for the user to include the setting of these parameters in scylla_setup itself:

  • in the interactive version, the prompt can suggest listen_address address, for example, "localhost."
  • the command line, non-interactive option, will make it easier to automate teh installation without a need for yaml manipulation.

Research direction
Examine the existing scylla setup script to understand its structure and how it currently handles OS and Scylla configuration. Implement interactive prompts for cluster name, seeds, listen address, and rpc address with localhost as the suggested default for listen address. Also add command line flags for non interactive mode so that all parameters can be passed directly without manual yaml editing.
