limitations:

communicate with

to connect

IP

node

the list
+#   of auto discovered nodes. As a consequence, not all nodes will have the 
same list
+#   of discovered hosts and schema modifications might be send to more then 
one node,
+#   which may result in concurrent schema modification exceptions.
