Wilfried Schobeiri commented on CASSANDRA-1974:
-----------------------------------------------
For those of us not on ec2, it would be incredibly convenient to have changes
to the topology propagate across the entire cluster instead of maintaining an
additional rsync. +1
> PFEPS-like snitch that uses gossip instead of a property file

> 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.
