             Summary: Thoroughly test how the GossipingPropertyFileSnitch (GPFS) behaves when fields go missing in gossip
                 Key: CASSANDRA-14856
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14856
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Test
          Components: Configuration
            Reporter: Jeremy Hanna


From the [dev list discussion|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/998f5f674ba244c4003893364ee068651da40902559ee1e50bb1c602@%3Cdev.cassandra.apache.org%3E] about deprecating the PropertyFileSnitch (PFS).  It appears that there are still times that fields go missing from gossip.  Theoretically and anecdotally in practice, that shouldn't cause problems for GPFS.  However it would be nice to do more thorough testing of the effects missing gossip fields have on things that rely on it (e.g. GPFS).  That would allow us to more confidently deprecate/remove PFS as we would have more confidence in how solid GPFS is.
