If we go in a "node set" way, what about FixedNodeSet or BaseNodeSet? "restart node set" also is a bit confusing because this concept works not only to restart but to manage adding and removing nodes to/from cluster. E.g. cluster admin decides to add ten more nodes to existing cluster: he/she starts them one by one, nodes join the cluster but don't receive any data as they are not in FixedNodeSet yet. Then admin issues "change fixed node set" command or adds them to the set in some other way and nodes become operational. As one can see, no restarts are involved in the process. Thanks, Sergey.
