[Hawkular-dev] hawkular services with embedded c profile - need PR reviewed/merged

[Juraci Paixão Kröhling]

Mazz,

I have nothing against your PR in particular, but I'm against this 
feature in principle: it's more code that we have to take care of for 
"development only". And as it's more code, it also means more bugs. 
Perhaps not now, but in a week or two (or once we have a change in the 
XML templates).

To me, requiring the developer to install Cassandra is similar to 
requiring a developer to install MariaDB or PostgreSQL and that's 
acceptable, specially if we don't have to maintain code that is to be 
used only for development purposes.

On a Fedora machine, Cassandra can be installed and started by:
# dnf config-manager --add-repo=http://rpm.datastax.com/community
# dnf install dsc30
# systemctl start cassandra

( plus, there might some required changes related to networking in 
/etc/cassandra/conf/cassandra.yaml )

That said, I suggest -Paio (all-in-one) for the profile name :)

- Juca.
