Hi guys, just for the record, in case someone has this issue in the future, it is a bug, fixed in 1.2.12.
I recommend anyone in this version to upgrade cluster before getting totally stuck (by adding new machines / DC / altering keyspaces / ...), well anything using gossip actually. We are going to plan a full downtime to be able to recover, since we are completely stuck. Datastax help to find out the issue, thanks DuyHai !
