Jonathan Ellis resolved CASSANDRA-1569.
---------------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

Wouldn't it be simpler to just treat the different DCs as separate rings and bsearch each independently?

> NetworkTopologyStrategy assigns replicas to the first endpoints encountered in the required DCs during a ring-order walk. This will lead to hotspots if you don't have an equal number of nodes in each DC, and if you don't alternate them in the ring.
> An alternate algorithm that prevents hotspots is to choose replicas using fractions. If the first replica is on the 4th node of 10 for a particular DC, its fractional position is 0.4: remaining replicas in other DCs will be placed on the node at that fractional position.
