You can migrate from the RackInferingSnitch to PropertiesFileSnitch by populating the cassandra-topology.properties with the same rack/dc assignments of the previous snitch (what you can't change is the assignment, but you can change snitches if you maintain the same assignments as before).
For example, if you were using using the RackInferingSnitch before, an equivalent configuration on the PropertiesFileSnitch is: IP=DC:RACK 175.56.12.105=56:12 (3rd octet is DC, 2nd is RACK on RackInferingSnitch) 175.56.13.200=56:13 175.54.35.197=54:35 120.54.24.101=54:24 There is a chance the PropertiesFileSnitch is deprecated in the near future, so it's preferable to use the GossipingPropertyFileSnitch which is also simpler to configure. 2015-12-02 23:30 GMT-08:00 Carlos A <nando....@gmail.com>: > Bryan, thanks for replying.
