Did you mean to copy/paste the error you are getting? I guess you would just need to remove this entry from your configuration as it would seem this has indeed been deprecated (I am not able to find any doc on this from a very quick search).

Thanks @kporter .

@manish simply remove that config and you should be fine I guess.

@manish, out of curiosity, what version of Aerospike are you upgrading from? I’m finding that `load-at-startup` became obsolete in versions `3.3.3` and `2.7.12`.
