Hi, I need to attach a virtual DC to an existing cluster. My existing cluster uses the Ec2Snitch as endpoint_snitch in cassandra.yaml. Since both my clusters will live in the same AZ in AWS, it seems as though my best bet is to switch to a property file snitch to divide.
A couple of questions: * My restarts are very slow due to the poor IO on EC2, do I have to restart existing nodes or can I juste use the propertyfile snitch on the new virtual DC nodes ? * To correctly replicate I need to update my placement strategy to networktopology strategy, again no need to restart for this operation, right ?
