-------------------------------------
Summary: Add an initial gossip state
Key: GOSSIP-37
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GOSSIP-37
Project: Gossip
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Edward Capriolo
Fix For: 0.1.2
Currently we only have two states UP and DOWN. This is problematic. If a node,
starts based in its configuration seeds those nodes are part of the cluster. We
can start them in either state, up or down but either is problematic because as
the node starts its ActiveGossip process it will transmit that data. It is also
misleading when we do not know if the node is Alive or Dead.
I think the right thing to do is introduce a third state, INITIAL. When a node
is in an initial state the ActiveGossipThread will not transmit the state of
that node.
