Dynamic membership change allows you to add or remove nodes from your cluster without cluster restart. You need to enable dynamicMembershipChange config option to use this feature.

Add new node:

  • call _addNodeToCluster with new node argument on one of the existing nodes
  • ensure that node was added - wait for callback or call _printStatus (except adding the second node. When switching from 1-node cluster to 2-node cluster you don't need to wait confirmation)
  • launch new node with correct (new one) initial otherNodesAddrs

Remove node:

  • stop node that you want to remove
  • call _removeNodeFromCluster with node that you want to remove as argument, on one of the online nodes
  • ensure that node was removed - wait for callback or call _printStatus

If you want to add or remove several nodes, you should do it one by one.
