             Summary: A joining cache should receive the rebalancedEnabled flag from the coordinator.
                 Key: ISPN-3561
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-3561
             Project: Infinispan
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: State transfer
    Affects Versions: 6.0.0.Beta1, 5.3.0.Final, 5.2.7.Final
            Reporter: Erik Salter
            Assignee: Mircea Markus


There is an issue when starting up a set of nodes in a cluster where the coordinator has told the surviving members that state transfer has been disabled.  If rebalancing is disabled while the cluster is running it's disabled on all the 

However, if a new set of nodes join afterwards, they don't know that rebalancing was disabled.

This has consequences if there is a new coordinator elected (like during a MERGE) from the set of newly-started nodes.

To prevent this and ensure the greatest probablility of success, a node joining should get the state of this flag from the response from the coordinator.
