Pavel Yaskevich commented on CASSANDRA-2882:
--------------------------------------------
I like the idea of adding host to the EndpointDetails object instead of keeping
(-1, null) in endpoint_details.
> describe_ring should include datacenter/topology information

> describe_ring is great for getting a list of nodes in the cluster, but it
> doesn't provide any information about the network topology which prevents
> it's use in a multi-dc setup. It would be nice if we added another list to
> the TokenRange object containing the DC information.
> Optimally I could have ask any Cassandra node for this information and on the
> client-side prefer local nodes but be able to fail to remote nodes without
> requiring another lookup.
