[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-10745) Deprecate PropertyFileSnitch

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10745?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15260368#comment-15260368 ] 

Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-10745:
----------------------------------------------

I think if people want to continue using PFS, that's fine.  I think the best step we can take here is making GPFS not be PFS-compatible unless a -D flag is passed.  This way we're optimized for the new cluster with GPFS case, instead of the migration case, since the latter is likely in the minority now.

> Opening this ticket to discuss deprecating PropertyFileSnitch, since it's error-prone and more snitch code to maintain (See CASSANDRA-10243). Migration from existing cluster with PropertyFileSnitch to GossipingPropertyFileSnitch is straightforward.
> Is there any useful use case that can be achieved only with PropertyFileSnitch?
> If not objections, we would add deprecation warnings in 2.2.x, 3.0.x, 3.2 and deprecate in 3.4 or 3.6.
