[jira] Commented: (CASSANDRA-1974) PFEPS-like snitch that uses gossip instead of a property file

["Brandon Williams (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1974?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12980875#action_12980875 ] 

Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-1974:
---------------------------------------------

I think when adding a node it's easier to specify once and then bootstrap rather than rsync it everywhere.  And you'd only have 100 separate files if you had 100 DCs/racks.

> Now that we have an ec2 snitch that propagates its rack/dc info via gossip from CASSANDRA-1654, it doesn't make a lot of sense to use PFEPS where you have to rsync the property file across all the machines when you add a node.  Instead, we could have a snitch where you specify its rack/dc in a property file, and propagate this via gossip like the ec2 snitch.  In order to not break PFEPS, this should probably be a new snitch.
