Description

Interactions between clients and nodes in the cluster are taking place by exchanging messages through the MessagingService. Black box testing for message based systems is usually pretty easy, as we're just dealing with messages in/out. My suggestion would be to add tests that make use of this fact by mocking message exchanges via MessagingService. Given the right use case, this would turn out to be a much simpler and more efficient alternative for dtests.
