Description

There are two interesting usecases:

• Cassandra does this 'trick' where nodes gossip more often to seeds so that the cluster converges faster
• It would be ideal if we could gossip more to some nodes than others. For example if we have a cluster in two data centers if they were more likely to gossip inside the wan

The challenge here is flexibility vs complexity. Cassandra has a concept of Datacenter and Rack, do we make these 1st class parameters or do we let the logic consider ANY user data?
