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

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?
