Hi,

The planned date for Beta1 is 28th of Sept.

Beta would mean a feature and API freeze - if you think something's critical

and won't meet the deadline please let me know.

Following JIRAs must make it in (otherwise we'll hold the release) [1]:

ISPN-2332 - Update xsite configuration file (Mircea, config/api change)

ISPN-2319 - Add ability to take a site offline into x-site implementation

(Mircea, required for the xsite functionality)

ISPN-2316 - Distributed deadlock in StateTransferInterceptor (Dan, critical

so that QA can progress with testing)

ISPN-1407 - Make sure the server_list attribute of the Hot Rod Client can be

updated dynamically (Galder, required by rolling upgrades functionality)

This is a nice-to-have.  I don't think this is critical.  I think it is fair

enough to ask people to reconfigure and restart their clients.

Can't we rather enhance HR so that the shutting down servers would piggyback

the "restart" information to the clients? When a client receives a restart

response (similar to a topology change response),  it restarts itself

without requiring any manual work. How does it sound?

I didn't understand what you have in mind, but nevertheless it still
sounds like a nice-to-have.
