Cells 1.0 - ApplicationSettings

Problem

There are many about 534 columns in application_settings. Each column represents an application setting.

In Cells 1.0, each cell will have independent databases. This means without further development, application_settings will be per-cell

Questions

• Can we assume most application_settings is OK not to be clusterwide ?
  • Looking at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/139BM766XqosbkyZOdPbN9NaClGKl-3amSViSVjor8DU/edit#gid=1138391337 (internal), many settings should be OK not to be clusterwide initially
• For the application_settings that must be clusterwide, how will it be made clusterwide ?

Proposal

1. We need to determine which application setting must be clusterwide.
2. We need to determine which application setting must be cell-specific.
3. For some application settings, it may be OK to temporarily manage it cell-by-cell. We can then move the application setting to become either cell-specific, or organization setting.
4. Create ability to each group to migrate settings to be cell-specific (alternatively, we can designate application_settings to be cell-specific, and create ability to migrate settings to be clusterwide)
