Networktopology with SimpleSnitch, never returns a get()?

[Yang <te...@gmail.com>]

my code uses EC2MultiRegion snitch and NetworkTopologyStrategy in
production. Since the NetworkTopology is specified as part of
schema creation, which is part of my code, I also have to use this strategy
in test.

but in test, I normally use a single-node cluster on my laptop. so I can't
use the EC2Multiregion Snitch, but just use a SimpleSnitch.

the problem is, I can create the schema, I can successfully write, but when
I do a get('my_key', policy=LOCAL_QUORUM), it never returns, probably
because the  policy has some issues with my networktopology+simpleSnitch
usage.


what am I doing wrong?
