Description

It would be useful to have a script that can ask the user a few questions and generate a recommended cassandra.yaml based on their answers. This will help solve issues like selecting num_tokens. It can also be integrated into OS specific packaging tools such as debconf[1]. Rather than just documenting on the website, it is best to provide a simple script to auto-generate configuration based on common use-cases.
