public class WhiteListPolicy
extends HostFilterPolicy

A load balancing policy wrapper that ensure that only hosts from a provided white list will ever be returned.

This policy wraps another load balancing policy and will delegate the choice of hosts to the wrapped policy with the exception that only hosts contained in the white list provided when constructing this policy will ever be returned. Any host not in the while list will be considered IGNORED and thus will not be connected to.

This policy can be useful to ensure that the driver only connects to a predefined set of hosts. Keep in mind however that this policy defeats somewhat the host auto-detection of the driver. As such, this policy is only useful in a few special cases or for testing, but is not optimal in general. If all you want to do is limiting connections to hosts of the local data-center then you should use DCAwareRoundRobinPolicy and *not* this policy in particular.
