Stefan Miklosovic commented on CASSANDRA-14361:
-----------------------------------------------
I incorporated the feedback of [~adelapena] in my branch here (rebased +
squashed what was there and added the changes on top in one commit).
I have added that parameter in seed provider and removed it from top-level
cassandra.yaml.
[~adelapena] would you mind to review again?

> Allow SimpleSeedProvider to resolve multiple IPs per DNS name
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-14361
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14361
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Local/Config
> Reporter: Ben Bromhead
> Assignee: Stefan Miklosovic
> Priority: Low
> Fix For: 4.0.x
>
> Time Spent: 50m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> Currently SimpleSeedProvider can accept a comma separated string of IPs or
> hostnames as the set of Cassandra seeds. hostnames are resolved via
> InetAddress.getByName, which will only return the first IP associated with an
> A, AAAA or CNAME record.
> By changing to InetAddress.getAllByName, existing behavior is preserved, but
> now Cassandra can discover multiple IP address per record, allowing seed
> discovery by DNS to be a little easier.
> Some examples of improved workflows with this change include:
> * specify the DNS name of a headless service in Kubernetes which will
> resolve to all IP addresses of pods within that service.
> * seed discovery for multi-region clusters via AWS route53, AzureDNS etc
> * Other common DNS service discovery mechanisms.
> The only behavior this is likely to impact would be where users are relying
> on the fact that getByName only returns a single IP address.
> I can't imagine any scenario where that is a sane choice. Even when that
> choice has been made, it only impacts the first startup of Cassandra and
> would not be on any critical path.
