Description

We found a strange phenomenon about Cassandra Cluster's status that all the nodes in the cluster found other node's status inconsistency. Especially, the inconsistency has an interesting patten. See the following example:

There are 5 nodes (pc17, pc19, pc21, pc23, pc25) in the cluster. Their seeds configuration are all "pc17, pc19, pc21, pc23, pc25". In a moment,
pc17 found others UP;
pc19 found pc17 DN, others UP;
pc21 found pc17, pc19 DN, others UP;
pc23 found pc17, pc19, pc21 DN, others UP;
pc25 found pc17, pc19, pc21, pc23 DN, only self UP;
