Hi I'm not sure that node offline is a best way to do that. Cons: - different caches may have different defragmentation but we force to stop whole node - offline node is a maintenance operation will require to add +1 backup to reduce the risk of data loss - baseline auto adjustment? - impact to index rebuild? - cache configuration changes (or destroy) during node offline
What about other ways without node stop? E.g. make cache group on a node offline? Add *defrag <cache_group> *command to control.sh to force start rebalance internally in the node with expected impact to performance.
