             Summary: PropertyFileSnitch should allow name address that does not yet exist
                 Key: CASSANDRA-7363

when starting a new node with PropertyFileSnitch with cassandra-topology.properties contains an unknown host, it fails with:

The real impact here is we are trying to launch a number of new nodes (via chef) with pre-configured hostname (and among other variables). The additional hostname (but not yet alive) made no impact to the existing nodes, which is good (looks like we only catch the ConfigurationException in the watcher thread, but not on the initial start); but it causes new node fail to start. (Pretty sure if we restart an existing one, it will fail too).
