Hi all, 

I was thinking about the following scenario: 

Suppose there's Job that's executed every now and again In the cluster, 
maybe a database cleanup, a message queue lookup, whatever... But you have 
a large cluster and you MUST have ONLY ONE node executing the job.

I would be nice to let the cluster decide on it's own, which one of the 
nodes should run the job. Even better would be to let the cluster recognise 
that node that was executing the Job just crashed and there's no node doing 
the durty work and proactively promote a node for the task.

There's lots of ways to implement this but I think that node roles fits 
very well with this problem. My question is, in order to promote a node and 
give it a new Role, do I have to "restar/reconect" the member? Or can it be 
updated at runtime?

Thanks.
