Graceful shutdown should be supported ------------------------------------- Key: ISPN-1239 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1239 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Distributed Cache Affects Versions: 5.0.0.FINAL Reporter: Manik Surtani Assignee: Dan Berindei Priority: Critical Labels: clean_shutdown, rehashing Fix For: 6.0.0.Final Currently, killing any node will result in a rehash. A mechanism for clean shutdown should also be supported, so that a rehash is *not* triggered. Useful when the entire cluster is being intentionally brought down. Need to think about how we do this; perhaps a LEAVE message that will prevent nodes triggering a rehash when a subsequent view change is detected. This could be done programmatically via a {{clean}} parameter to {{stop()}}, but we should explore alternatives here.
