I'm familiar with this material. I hadn't thought of it from this angle but I believe what you're suggesting is that the different data centers would hold a different properties file for node discovery instead of using auto-discovery.
So Tokyo, and others, would have a configuration that make it oblivious to the non New York data centers. New York would have a configuration that would give it knowledge of no other data center. Would that work? Wouldn't the NY data center wonder where these other writes are coming from?
