Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-3550:
---------------------------------------------

What about a way to force marking down a node through JMX? Usually, node gets 
down during the distributed tests only when we kill them. There is no point in 
that case to wait even a few seconds for other to notice, and on the other side 
I'm afraid that having a phi threshold too low could result in test flickering 
in some case (but maybe I worry too much).

Of course, if we add a JMX call, we want to make sure we have a few tests that 
actually test the 'real life' failure detector behavior.
