Hello, I'm writing a client for the CQL binary protocol. Is there a way to connect to a single node, then ask it for all the other nodes in the cluster? That way the application code doesn't have to know about all the nodes when instantiating an instance of the client.
On a somewhat related note, what is the difference between the TOPOLOGY_CHANGE/REMOVED_NODE and STATUS_CHANGE/DOWN events? Doesn't one kind of imply the other? Thanks for the help.
