/**
 * This module is responsible for Gossiping information for the local endpoint. This abstraction
 * maintains the list of live and dead endpoints. Periodically i.e. every 1 second this module
 * chooses a random node and initiates a round of Gossip with it. A round of Gossip involves 3
 * rounds of messaging. For instance if node A wants to initiate a round of Gossip with node B
 * it starts off by sending node B a GossipDigestSynMessage. Node B on receipt of this message
 * sends node A a GossipDigestAckMessage. On receipt of this message node A sends node B a
 * GossipDigestAck2Message which completes a round of Gossip. This module as and when it hears one
 * of the three above mentioned messages updates the Failure Detector with the liveness information.
 * Upon hearing a GossipShutdownMessage, this module will instantly mark the remote node as down in
 * the Failure Detector.
 *
 * This class is not threadsafe and any state changes should happen in the gossip stage.

     * Gossip offers no happens-before relationship, but downstream subscribers assume a happens-before relationship

     * within a map based off a few heuristics:
     * <ol>
     *     <li>STATUS - some STATUS depends on other instance STATUS, so make sure they are last; eg. BOOT, and BOOT_REPLACE</li>
     *     <li>generation - normally defined as system clock millis, this can be skewed and is a best effort</li>
     *     <li>address - tie breaker to make sure order is consistent</li>

     * <p>
     * Problems:
     * Generation is normally defined as system clock millis, which can be skewed and in-consistent cross nodes
     * (generations do not have a happens-before relationship, so ordering is sketchy at best).
     * <p>
     * Motivations:
     * {@link Map#entrySet()} returns data in effectivlly random order, so can get into a situation such as the following example.
     * {@code
     * 3 node cluster: n1, n2, and n3
     * n2 goes down and n4 does host replacement and fails before completion
     * h5 tries to do a host replacement against n4 (ignore the fact this doesn't make sense)
     * }
     * In that case above, the {@link Map#entrySet()} ordering can be random, causing h4 to apply before h2, which will
     * be rejected by subscripers (only after updating gossip causing zero retries).
