data will be distributed amongst racks correctly, however only if you are
using a snitch that understands racks and also NetworkTopologyStrategy.
SimpleStrategy doesn't understand racks or DCs. You should use a snitch
that understands racks and then transition to a 2 rack cluster, keeping
only 1 DC. The whole DC per rack thing isn't necessary and will make your
clients overly complicated.
