> Today, the sidecar’s CassandraAdapter/CqlSessionProvider uses a load
> balancing policy that only allows connections to a single instance configured
> for one of the managed instances of Cassandra. However, this is both
> unnecessary and potentially harmful, as requests to that instance’s hostname
> will fail to retrieve information like keyspace/cluster metadata when that
> instance is unavailable, and will not receive any updates to metadata either,
> which can cause stale metadata to be used.
> Instead, the CqlSessionProvider should take a list of contact points and use
> them to connect to the whole cluster (or a subset of nodes) without the
> single-instance load balancing policy. Where it is necessary to query an
> individual instance (system tables, attempts to check the health of a
> particular instance) we can, instead, use the driver’s ability to direct
> queries to a specific host on a per-statement basis.
