Jonathan Ellis reassigned CASSANDRA-1974:
-----------------------------------------
Assignee: (was: Brandon Williams)
I think the biggest win is when you can automatically determine rack/dc from
the environment somehow (e.g.: ec2snitch). Otherwise the advantage of editing
a file, vs edit + rsync, is small. Small enough that it's probably not worth
the education headache.
> PFEPS-like snitch that uses gossip instead of a property file

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Brandon Williams
> Priority: Minor
>
> Now that we have an ec2 snitch that propagates its rack/dc info via gossip
> from CASSANDRA-1654, it doesn't make a lot of sense to use PFEPS where you
> have to rsync the property file across all the machines when you add a node.
> Instead, we could have a snitch where you specify its rack/dc in a property
> file, and propagate this via gossip like the ec2 snitch. In order to not
> break PFEPS, this should probably be a new snitch.
