+#
+# CASSANDRA WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO SWITCH TO AN INCOMPATIBLE SNITCH
+# ONCE DATA IS INSERTED INTO THE CLUSTER.  This would cause data loss.
+# This means that if you start with the default SimpleSnitch, which

+# if you need to add another datacenter are GossipingPropertyFileSnitch
+# (and the older PFS).  From there, if you want to migrate to an

+#    Only private IPs are used, so this will not work across multiple
+#    Regions.
+#
+# Ec2MultiRegionSnitch:
+#    Uses public IPs as broadcast_address to allow cross-region
+#    connectivity.  (Thus, you should set seed addresses to the public
+#    IP as well.) You will need to open the storage_port or

+#    deployment conventions, this is best used as an example of

+############################# Log Flush Policy #############################
+
+# Messages are immediately written to the filesystem but by default we only fsync() to sync
+# the OS cache lazily. The following configurations control the flush of data to disk.
+# There are a few important trade-offs here:
+#    1. Durability: Unflushed data may be lost if you are not using replication.
+#    2. Latency: Very large flush intervals may lead to latency spikes when the flush does occur as there will be a lot of data to flush.
+#    3. Throughput: The flush is generally the most expensive operation, and a small flush interval may lead to excessive seeks.
+# The settings below allow one to configure the flush policy to flush data after a period of time or
+# every N messages (or both). This can be done globally and overridden on a per-topic basis.
+
+# The number of messages to accept before forcing a flush of data to disk
+#log.flush.interval.messages=10000

+# The following configurations control the disposal of log segments. The policy can
+# be set to delete segments after a period of time, or after a given size has accumulated.
