Eran Chinthaka Withana commented on CASSANDRA-4791: --------------------------------------------------- [~jbellis], from my experience I have seen the bootstrapping node reading from the nodes from a different data centers which are about 80ms away. And I don't think those nodes should be considered "closest". The snitch, which I believe comes from cassandra-topology.properties contains correct information about the topology of the cluster. I looked at CASSANDRA-2434 also and it says "even if you don't care about the consistency issues, I don't think there is currently a way to bootstrap from local nodes only." but not sure whether this got implemented in Cassandra 1.0.x versions. > When a node bootstrap in a multi-datacenter environment it should try to get > data only from local nodes > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-4791 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4791 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Reporter: Eran Chinthaka Withana > > When a node bootstraps, in a multi-datacenter environment, currently it is > streaming data from any node available.
