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

             Summary: Specify particular endpoints to be used during bootstrap 
                 Key: CASSANDRA-6725
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6725
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
            Reporter: sankalp kohli
            Priority: Minor


Sometimes there is a need to bootstrap a node from a set of endpoints which you want to specify. We should allow specifying set of endpoints while starting to be used and override the endpoints which get picked up due to snitch. 

Here is a example in which it will be useful. 
A cluster is being upgraded and before upgradestable could be run on all replicas, we want to replace a node. 
With this feature, we can specify a node on which we have already run upgradestable and bootstrap a node. 

This feature is less useful with v-nodes.
