Description
Since seed nodes are not only used for bootstrap but also for gossiping it would be really useful to be able to replace seed addresses on running nodes without restarting them since at the moment you can only change seed nodes by changing configuration file and then restarting cassandra.
My usecase is to be able to replace failed seed nodes in cassandra without having to proceed to a rolling restart of the cluster. And also to be able to start X nodes that initially might be independent but then would all join an existing ring by changing their seeds.
