[infinispan-dev] partial shutdown problem when shutting down the coordinator

[Mircea Markus]

Hi Dan,

<snip>
But unfortunately the partial shutdown case does NOT work, if the coordinator node is a member of partial shutdown nodes.
When the coordinator is down while suspending rebalance, one of the rest servers is becoming a new coordinator with rebalanceEnabled=true, and after that, the rebalance process is starting.
Once this happened, it will cause the unexpected cache data accumulation on the nodes that are awaiting shutdown request.
</snip>

Seems like this scenario is not covered. I guess we should broadcast (to all the members) the clean shutdown request so that the new coordinator would know pick it up and don't start the rebalance?  

Cheers,
