Peter Schuller commented on CASSANDRA-3834:
-------------------------------------------
I originally talked about this as "making gossiper pluggable" but that makes no
sense because the word gossiper is specified to, well, gossip. I used the word
"locator" here because it seemed the most near/obvious given the package name.
I am definitely open to other naming :)

> Make the locator pluggable, such that we can use something other than
> gissip to discover ring topology.
> This is in part for CASSANDRA-3833, but is also useful because we want
> something simpler and more reliable than gossip on production
> clusters. At minimum we must be able to hit our nodes with a clue bat
> in emergencies ("no this node is NOT in state Normal damn it"), even if
> we were to normally rely on gossip.
