Agreed. I got the OC_EV_MS_INVALID wrong. Its just a placeholder. It
should never be sent as a membership event.

 In the case of CCM it is sent when the membership is not-primary( ie.
when there is no-quorum). And the reason this was done in CCM was
because OCF-membership-api did not have a equivalent event type that
conveyed non-primary membership.


OC_EV_MS_NOT_PRIMARY: means I am in a state of transition, and don't
know exactly what my membership status is.

BTW: can somebody point me to the URL of the membership API.
