Nodes should be recognized if they join a cluster again if PartitionHandling is active -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ISPN-6187 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-6187 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Core Reporter: Wolf-Dieter Fink Assignee: Dan Berindei Labels: partition_handling If a node leave a cluster by crash/power or network problems and is restarted the ID has changed and it is a NEW node. In case of PartitionHandling enabled the cluster can be in a state where it is impossible to recover automatically. As ISPN8 will have a new feature "persistent" address, which is used for CH only at this moment, this address can be used for PH as well. As a result the node join as known and can be # filled with data via state-transfer if the remaining cluster is the major partition and AVAILABLE. # filled with data if at least one owner is inside the remaining cluster equal splitt with numOwner>numNode/2 # full cluster rebalance with WARN/ERROR if there is a possible loss of data
