Gossip协议是什么?
简单来说就是一种去中心化、点对点的数据广播协议,你可以把它理解为病毒的传播。A传染给B，B继续传染给C,如此下去。
协议本身只有一些简单的限制，状态更新的时间随着参与主机数的增长以对数的速率增长，即使是一些节点挂掉或者消息丢失也没关系。很多的分布式系统都用gossip 协议来解决自己遇到的一些难题。比如说服务发现框架consul就用了gossip协议( Serf)来做管理主机的关系以及集群之间的消息广播，Cassandra也用到了这个协议，用来实现一些节点发现、健康检查等。
通信流程
概述
首先系统需要配置几个种子节点，比如说A、B, 每个参与的节点都会维护所有节点的状态，node->(Key,Value,Version),版本号较大的说明其数据较新，节点P只能直接更新它自己的状态，节点P只能间接的通过gossip协议来更新本机维护的其他节点的数据。
大致的过程如下，
① SYN:节点A向随机选择一些节点，这里可以只选择发送摘要，即不发送valus,避免消息过大
② ACK:节点B接收到消息后，会将其与本地的合并，这里合并采用的是对比版本，版本较大的说明数据较新. 比如节点A向节点B发送数据C(key,value,2),而节点B本机存储的是C(key,value1,3),那么因为B的版本比较新，合并之后的数据就是B本机存储的数据，然后会发回A节点。
③ ACK2:节点A接收到ACK消息，将其应用到本机的数据中
A发GossipDigestSyn => B执行GossipDigestSynVerbHandler
B发GossipDigestAck => A执行GossipDigestAckVerbHandler
A发GossipDigestAck2 => B执行GossipDigestAck2VerbHandler这三个类都实现了IVerbHandler接口，注册到MessagingService的处理器中:
MessagingService.instance().registerVerbHandlers(MessagingService.Verb.GOSSIP_DIGEST_SYN, new GossipDigestSynVerbHandler());
MessagingService.instance().registerVerbHandlers(MessagingService.Verb.GOSSIP_DIGEST_ACK, new GossipDigestAckVerbHandler());
MessagingService.instance().registerVerbHandlers(MessagingService.Verb.GOSSIP_DIGEST_ACK2, new GossipDigestAck2VerbHandler());这样当消息模块接收到消息后就会调用对应的Handler处理，如下面的代码所示:
IVerbHandler verbHandler = MessagingService.instance().getVerbHandler(verb);
if (verbHandler == null)
{
//未知的消息不处理
logger.trace("Unknown verb {}", verb);
return;
}
try
{
verbHandler.doVerb(message, id);
}
catch (IOException ioe)
{
handleFailure(ioe);
throw new RuntimeException(ioe);
}
catch (TombstoneOverwhelmingException | IndexNotAvailableException e)
{
handleFailure(e);
logger.error(e.getMessage());
}
catch (Throwable t)
{
handleFailure(t);
throw t;

初始化
具体的初始化都是在org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService#public synchronized void initServer() throws ConfigurationException()去做的，里面会调用prepareToJoin() 尝试加入gossip集群。

源码上看结构是非常清晰的，每一步的逻辑相对来讲还是比较容易理解的，其实也就类似tcp三次握手:
①、A随机找个人B，随机告诉他一些我知道的信息(这里可以根据时间排序、根据版本打分等等，具体可以参照论文)
②、B收到以后，和自己本地对比下，比A新的发回给A，比A旧的让通知A在下一步告诉我
③、A本地合并下，然后将B需要的信息告诉他
④、B本地合并下
⑤、完成了
