Hi Based on * http://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/2.0/cassandra/architecture/architectureSnitchEC2_t.html * http://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/2.0/cassandra/architecture/architectureSnitchGossipPF_c.html
What other benefits can Ec2Snitch provide in a single-region, multi-az AWS deployment besides automatically setting dc and rack for you as the snitch reads from EC2 metadata. Obviously there is a concern with what if there is something wrong with the metadata server... Thanks. John
