Restrict Cassandra cluster node joins to a list of named hosts
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-2274
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2274
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 0.7.2
Environment: All
Reporter: Andrew Schiefelbein
Because firewalls and employees are not infallible it would be nice to restrict
the ability of any node to join a cluster to a list of named hosts in the
configuration so that someone would be unable to start a node and replicate all
the data locally. I understand that in order to do this the person must know
the seed servers and the cluster name and to extract the data they will need a
userid and password but another level of security would be to force them to
execute any brute force attack from a locked down server instead of replicating
all the data locally.
