aliases about cuttlefish HOT 3 CLOSED

I'm going to mull this over the weekend. I think it (or something similar) will solve some problems I've also had. Part of the mulling will be trying to remember what those problems were.

mull away! If you want I can make a PR for this too but I wanted to discuss it before investing more time then just coming up with crazy stuff ;)

This is covered now with the little publicized "right hand substitutions" feature. It would work like this:

{mapping, "data_dir", "riak_core.platform_data_dir",
 [{default, "{{platform_data_dir}}"},
  {datatype, directory}]}.

{mapping, "hanoi.data_root", "hanoidb.data_root",
 [{default, "#(data_dir)/hanoi"},
  {datatype, directory}]}.

then you could also override in your .conf file like this:

data_dir = /wherever
hanoi.data_root = #(data_dir)/some_other_hanoi_path
