So this is related to ISPN-360 which is currently titled "create NodeJoinedEvent".
Leaving names out for now, essentially, what we need is a notification to inform listeners that (a) a JGroups ViewChange has been detected (b) a rehash has started and (c) a rehash has completed. Possibly, being more fine-grained, that (d) a new ConsistentHash view has been installed. Does this cover it all? If so, how about: @ViewChanged (same as we have now) @RehashStarted @RehashComplete @TopologyChanged // to reflect a new CH? Thoughts?
