Again, if you prefer to keep the process around, even if Ignite freezes, then you can always configure this behavior, but I still believe that the default should be to kill the process. Ignite is a horizontally scalable system, so killing of one node should not be a significant event and should not disrupt the cluster. However, a freeze of one node is a significant event and can bring the whole cluster to a halt. D.
