Brandon Williams resolved CASSANDRA-7363.
-----------------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

This isn't possible, it needs to know the IP.  Being able to specify a hostname 
is a convenience.

> PropertyFileSnitch should allow name address that does not yet exist

> The real impact here is we are trying to launch a number of new nodes (via 
> chef) with pre-configured hostname (and among other variables). The 
> additional hostname (but not yet alive) made no impact to the existing nodes, 
> which is good (looks like we only catch the ConfigurationException in the 
> watcher thread, but not on the initial start); but it causes new node fail to 
> start. (Pretty sure if we restart an existing one, it will fail too).
