This is an extension introduced by Scylla's fork of cpp-driver.
See: scylladb/cpp-driver@9691ec0
Note:
I removed this part of the docstring:
```
* With empty local_rack and local_dc, default local_dc and local_rack
* is chosen from the first connected contact point,
* and no remote hosts are considered in query plans.
* If relying on this mechanism, be sure to use only contact
* points from the local rack.
```
There are multiple reasons for this:
- this behaviour does not make much sense, and we should not mimic it IMO
- rust-driver does not behave like this
- this is not even true for cpp-driver
Why it's not true for cpp-driver:
If you carefully study the changes introduced to cpp-driver in the aforementioned
commit, you will notice that it's not possible for the driver to use rack aware
policy with an empty strings. This is because API functions reject
empty string, thus RackAwarePolicy object is never constructed in such case.
```
CassError cass_cluster_set_load_balance_rack_aware_n(CassCluster* cluster, const char* local_dc,
size_t local_dc_length,
const char* local_rack,
size_t local_rack_length) {
if (local_dc == NULL || local_dc_length == 0 || local_rack == NULL || local_rack_length == 0) {
return CASS_ERROR_LIB_BAD_PARAMS;
}
cluster->config().set_load_balancing_policy(new RackAwarePolicy(
String(local_dc, local_dc_length), String(local_rack, local_rack_length)));
return CASS_OK;
}
```
Why is this part of docstring included in cpp-driver then? No idea. Maybe,
because `cass_cluster_set_load_balance_dc_aware` mentions something similar
for empty (non-specified) dc. However, in this case it's true, since dc awareness is enabled
by default in cpp-driver. See the docstring:
```
* Configures the cluster to use DC-aware load balancing.
* For each query, all live nodes in a primary 'local' DC are tried first,
* followed by any node from other DCs.
*
* <b>Note:</b> This is the default, and does not need to be called unless
* switching an existing from another policy or changing settings.
* Without further configuration, a default local_dc is chosen from the
* first connected contact point, and no remote hosts are considered in
* query plans. If relying on this mechanism, be sure to use only contact
* points from the local DC.
