--------------------------------------------

             Summary: Create a -D option to prevent gossip startup
                 Key: CASSANDRA-10809
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10809
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Brandon Williams
             Fix For: 2.1.x


In CASSANDRA-6961 we changed how join_ring=false works, to great benefit.  However, sometimes you need to a node to come up, but not interact with other nodes whatsoever - for example if you have a schema problem, it will still pull the schema from another node because they still gossip even though we're in a dead state.

We can add a way to restore the previous behavior by simply adding something like -Dcassandra.start_gossip=false.

In the meantime we can workaround by setting listen_address to localhost, but that's kind of a pain.
