 * {@code ReconnectionSchedule} instance is created (through the {@link #newSchedule()}).
 * Then each call to the {@link ReconnectionSchedule#nextDelayMs} method of
 * this instance will decide when the next reconnection attempt to this node
 * will be tried.
 * <p/>
 * Note that if the driver receives a push notification from the Cassandra cluster
 * that a node is UP, any existing {@code ReconnectionSchedule} on that node
 * will be cancelled and a new one will be created (in effect, the driver reset
 * the scheduler).
 * <p/>
