[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=15113333#comment-15113333 ] 

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

GPFS will already fall back to the property file if the node-specific dc-rack file isn't there, so you could just keep packaging it that way and use GPFS instead of PFS.

> 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.
