Jonathan Ellis resolved CASSANDRA-7076.
---------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

strategy was optional with cli CREATE, with the result that new users got exposed to this concept too late.  i'm a fan of making things as simple as possible, but "hiding" replication strategy was demonstrably a bad idea.

> In order to simplify the new user experience we should make the specification of the replication strategy when creating a new keyspace optional. Additionally the NetworkTopologyStrategy should be made the default with a RF of 1 per existing datacenter.
> This proposal would make the two operations equivalent:
> {code}
> CREATE KEYSPACE test WITH replication = {
>   'class': 'NetworkTopologyStrategy',
>   'ExistingDC': '1'
> };
> {code}
> {code}
> CREATE KEYSPACE test;
> {code}
