Description
In CASSANDRA-6961 we changed how join_ring=false works, to great benefit. However, sometimes you need to a node to come up, but not interact with other nodes whatsoever - for example if you have a schema problem, it will still pull the schema from another node because they still gossip even though we're in a dead state.
We can add a way to restore the previous behavior by simply adding something like -Dcassandra.start_gossip=false.
In the meantime we can workaround by setting listen_address to localhost, but that's kind of a pain.
