After "merge", number of members that form the cluster still the same and the mergeView contains only one subgroup. Scenario: - Form a large cluster (1115 mbrs) - Enable MERGE3 TRACE logging level on coordintor member (172.29.190.5) - Reboot one machine (172.29.190.5) hosting 7 JVMs - Coord install a new view with 1108 mbrs.
