These properties are more connection information or general configuration that is of interest for other nodes in the cluster. It is not meant to be used for messaging between instances. However, this basic functionality can be used to implement various stuff on top of it - everything which needs a dedicated instance in a cluster can use the leader detection - or if you want to build a communication mechanism for sending messages between instances, the discovery provides the basics. In addition, we're using it for the Sling job distribution - incoming jobs are "distributed" (or processed) by instances depending on their announced capabilities.
