Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-7839:
---------------------------------------------
Let's a) target 3.0, b) switch the default to full so new clusters aren't stuck
in legacy mode (I'll mention the change in NEWS for upgraders) and c) add tests
for full.
> Support standard EC2 naming conventions in Ec2Snitch

> Key: CASSANDRA-7839
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7839
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Gregory Ramsperger
> Assignee: Gregory Ramsperger
> Attachments: conditionally-use-full-Amazon-style-naming-for-dc.patch
>
>
> The EC2 snitches use datacenter and rack naming conventions inconsistent with
> those presented in Amazon EC2 APIs as region and availability zone. A
> discussion of this is found in CASSANDRA-4026. This has not been changed for
> valid backwards compatibility reasons. Using SnitchProperties, it is possible
> to switch between the legacy naming and the full, AWS-style naming.
> Proposal:
> * introduce a property (ec2_naming_scheme) to switch naming schemes.
> * default to current/legacy naming scheme
> * add support for a new scheme ("full") which is consistent AWS conventions
> ** data centers will be the region name, including the number
> ** racks will be the availability zone name, including the region name
> Examples:
> * * legacy* : datacenter is the part of the availability zone name preceding
> the last "\-" when the zone ends in \-1 and includes the number if not \-1.
> Rack is the portion of the availability zone name following the last "\-".
> ** us-west-1a => dc: us-west, rack: 1a
> ** us-west-2b => dc: us-west-2, rack: 2b;
> * *full* : datacenter is the part of the availability zone name preceding
> zone letter. rack is the entire availability zone name.
> ** us-west-1a => dc: us-west-1, rack: us-west-1a
> ** us-west-2b => dc: us-west-2, rack: us-west-2b;
