Jonathan Ellis edited comment on CASSANDRA-6157 at 1/9/14 3:10 AM: ------------------------------------------------------------------- So... not to bikeshed myself, but what format should we use here? I suggested {code} {'dc1', 'dc2'} {code} (python set literals, admittedly somewhat obscure), other options could be {code} ['dc1', 'dc2'] {code} (json list) or {code} "dc1,dc2" {code} (CDL). What we have here is {code} {dc1,dc2} {code} which is invalid just about everything. :) Suggest just switching to CDL? (I don't think we can have a YAML construct that can be "either a string, or a yaml list" but I'm not an expert so I may be wrong on that point.) P.S. We typically just use Config as a "raw values" dump and do extra parsing in DatabaseDescriptor if necessary. was (Author: jbellis): So... not to bikeshed myself, but what format should we use here?

Also since now > Cassandra is under reduced reduncany, we don't want to disable hints within > the DC. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
