Feature Request

Please provide 4.1.4+ Cassandra support.

@AKamyshnikova Can you tell me if 4+ needs some work here ? I saw 5.0 is out so no matter what we'll have some work to add its support

[AKamyshnikova]

@cscetbon casskop seems to work fine with 4.1.6 (just checked) So, seems the multicasskop required some work with 4+ versions.

[cscetbon]

Hopefully upgrading to 5+ as well won't require much work in casskop and only on multicasskop as well. Not sure why though ...

It looks like there is a problem with missing support for Cassandra.yaml for 4.1.x (there were a lot of changes around configuration fields) in DataStax; see datastax/cass-config-builder#61. This causes issues with provisioning correct cassandra.yaml for 4.1.x cassandra deployed by casskop.

In the meantime you can always use a pre-run script to update cassandra.yaml if it doesn't do what is expected. But yeah we heavily rely on cass-config-builder to generate the configuration and as far as I know they've been updating it only for DSE, so if you want to create a PR to get fixed don't hesitate and we can update the version we use here. If it isn't feasible we'll have to fork the project.
