Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1970:
-------------------------------------------
bq. How wil N get a gossip message (a response) from N-1 if N-1 is rejecting
every attempt of N trying to introduce itself?
Ah, okay, I get it now. Thanks.
What if we added anyone we get a message from to the gossip ring (initially as
a tokenless member)? That would let us "bootstrap" the gossip on the existing
nodes' side.

>
> When a new new node (version N) contacts an old node (version N-1) for the
> first time, the old node will not understand the message. One resolution
> mechanism would be for the old node to "bounce" the message back to the
> sender. The sender would then respond by translating the message to the
> appropriate version and resending it.
> For this to work, 0.7.1 will need to have the "bounce" feature.
