----------------------------------------
Summary: Update default snitch from SimpleSnitch to
GossipingPropertyFileSnitch
Key: CASSANDRA-15523
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15523
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Local/Config
Reporter: Jeremy Hanna
Traditionally the project has had {{SimpleSnitch}} as the default primarily
because it makes it easy for a user to download the software and start
Cassandra without changing any defaults and it will just work. However,
{{SimpleSnitch}} is not datacenter aware. {{GossipingPropertyFileSnitch}}
could also be used as the default and would make the default snitch be
datacenter aware. The user simply needs to update the local datacenter and
rack names on each node and when it joins the cluster, it will propagate that
topology information around the ring.
This ticket would be to update the default from {{SimpleSnitch}} to
{{GossipingPropertyFileSnitch}} to make the onboarding experience better for
those who don't know to change this default if they intend to expand to
multiple datacenters without too much hassle.
