Sean Durity commented on CASSANDRA-10745:
-----------------------------------------
I would not want to use GPFS. PropertyFileSnitch is easier to package and
distribute because I can include the exact same file for every host. GPFS
requires that files are (potentially) different on every host. Also, if I am on
any particular host, I can view the full topology in the topology file. So, not
a use case argument, exactly, but I would have to write logic to create the
GPFS file on each node during deployment. Guess what I would include? Something
very like the topology file.
> Deprecate PropertyFileSnitch
> ----------------------------

> Key: CASSANDRA-10745
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10745
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Coordination, Distributed Metadata
> Reporter: Paulo Motta
> Priority: Minor
>
> 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.
