Description

Currently the SnitchProperties class loads the properties file via the classloader, this causes problems in our test environment where we use an embedded cassandra for testing and cannot specify what file/where from to load it.
We will extend the functionality to support loading like the cassandra.yaml file is supported, via the System.properties map.
