Is "replication_factor" your DC name?
Here is what I would using:
CREATE KEYSPACE IF NOT EXISTS animals
WITH REPLICATION = { 'class' : 'NetworkTopologyStrategy',
'DC1' : 3 };
But in my case, I am using GossipPropertyFileSnitch and DC1 is
configured there, so Cassandra knows which nodes are in DC1 (data
center 1). Which snitch are you using?
