Hi Mitchell, I'm not really sure whether versioning/branching history is covered anywhere and it looks like it is worth covering.
Branching point hash = sum of hashcodes of BLT nodes consistent id's (long). Each time baseline topology changes, the previous value is added to the branching history, id is increased. The joining node is rejected when couple of things happen (most of them are baseline changes while being not a part of the cluster): 1. Joining node has greater BLT id than cluster. 2. Cluster BLT id is equals to joining node BLT id, but is not compatible. That means that cluster branching history does not contains joining node current BLT hash. 3. Joining node has lesser BLT id than cluster and branching history for current id does not contain BLT hash of joining node. PARTITIONED cache with node filter is an alternative to LOCAL cache.
