Ivan, Igniters, thanks for starting the discussion, How about the following a bit simplified message template? It's assumed the user is aware of what both rebalancing and baseline topology mean.
"New server node joined the cluster, add it to the baseline topology manually to trigger data rebalancing [node details]" a complete message will look like this "New server node joined the cluster, add it to the baseline topology manually to trigger data rebalancing [[topVer=2, minorTopVer=0], force=false, evt=NODE_JOINED, node=57bc10fe-1505-4e8e-9987-52c9c903c6ef]] - Denis On Thu, Jan 9, 2020 at 6:21 AM Ivan Rakov <ivan.glu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Folks, > > Since 2.4, Ignite cluster requires baseline topology in persistent mode. > That means if user wants to scale cluster and add more nodes, data won't be > redistributed among the whole node set until manual call of > IgniteCluster#setBaselineTopology. > > Surely this behavior is well-documented, but don't we need to give user a > hint that baseline topology should be managed manually?
