------------------------------------------
Summary: Baseline topology documentation improvement
Key: IGNITE-8133
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-8133
Project: Ignite
Issue Type: Bug
Components: documentation
Affects Versions: 2.4
Reporter: Stanislav Lukyanov
Assignee: Stanislav Lukyanov
Baseline topology concept was added to Ignite in 2.4 by IEP-4. This changed
Ignite cluster behavior when persistence is enabled (first of all, activation
and rebalancing timings).
It seems that the current documentation may be confusing.
For example, the sentence
{quote}Note that the baseline topology is not set when the cluster is started
for the first time; that's the only time when a manual intervention is
needed.{quote}
may lead one to thinking that baseline topology is not used by default and
needs to be enabled only if one wants to use it.
Also, the documentation describes the tools and commands that are used to
manage the baseline topology and activation, but doesn't give guidelines on
which nodes should be in the topology, when should it be changed, etc.
The documentation should be enhanced to
- give clear understanding that baseline topology always needs to be considered
as a part of the cluster architecture when persistence is enabled;
- provide overview of the behavioral changes compared to AI 2.3 (use a
note/warning block for that to separate it from the main text?);
- provide basic guidelines and suggestions of how one can start a new cluster
and manage it (when to activate/deactivate, when to change baseline topology,
what happens and what needs to be done when a node fails or joins, how to use
consistentId)
