Description

When using the AMI, which is currently set to use the EC2 snitch and the NetworkTopologyStrategy is set to default by the cli, all keyspaces default to datacenter1 being the datacenter name.

So when running:

create keyspace test;

we get this created:

Keyspace: test:
  Replication Strategy: org.apache.cassandra.locator.NetworkTopologyStrategy
  Durable Writes: true
    Options: [datacenter1:1]

This should error out immediately rather than letting the user go on to discover the error later:

[default@test] set User['jsmith']['first'] = 'John';
null
