In this scenario, you will:
- Understand how Apache Cassandra™ uses gossip.
- Understand how gossip information propagates through a cluster.
- Understand how a gossip exchange works.
In a fully distributed system such as Cassandra, there is no single repository that contains the state of all the nodes in the cluster. Clearly, such a repository would be a single point of failure. Instead, Cassandra uses the Gossip protocol to distribute nodes' status amongst its peers.
In this scenario, we will examine the gossip information for our two-node cluster.

Steps
gossip
Step 1
Let's start the nodes TODO or do in the background?
Be sure both nodes are up and running using nodetool status. Start your nodes if necessary.
