Hello, I am currently running a 3.11.2 cluster in SimpleSnitch hence the datacenter is datacenter1 and rack is rack1 for all nodes on AWS. I want to switch to GPFS by changing the rack name to the availability-zone name and datacenter name to region name.
When I try to restart individual nodes by changing those values, it failed to start throwing the error about dc and rack name mismatch but gives me an option to set ignore_dc and ignore_rack to true to bypass it. I am not sure if it is safe to set those two flags to true and if there is any drawback now or in future when i add a new datacenter to the cluster. I went through the documentation on Switching Snitches but didn't get much explanation. Regards, Pradeep
