Hi Team,

I am trying to restore cluster in a different DC but DC names are being overwritten in new cluster with the original ones. I had to disable authentication and change DC names of all keyspaces. Can you please provide a solution.

Thanks in advance !!

Thanks, Hanumanth Prasad

Thanks for reporting the issue @HanumanthPrasad. There's definitely something we need to deal with regarding DC names.

Notes from planning:

• This will probably only work with sstable loader. Without it, we restore schema direclty, and automating tweaking that would be way too ugly.
• We should make Medusa fail early and clearly if the above is about to go down.
• Also, we'll need to store information about which DC got backed up somewhere in the backup metadata (probably in the tokenmap).
