Description

This patch introduces a new option SIDECAR_CONTACT_POINTS for both bulk writer and reader. The option name better describes the purpose, which is to specify the initial contact points to discover the cluster topology. The existing option SIDECAR_INSTANCES are used for the same purpose and it is not deprecated.
In addition, it allows including the port value in the addresses when defining SIDECAR_CONTACT_POINTS
