Srikanth Sundarrajan commented on FALCON-141:
---------------------------------------------

[~bvellanki], When you update a feed, all process need to be updated, If any 
process update were to fail, we don't flag that as pending update and have any 
off-band mechanism to finish the pending update. Entity updates are idempotent 
and can repeatedly attempted till it succeeds without any side effect. Is there 
a reason for cluster update to behave differently ?

May be we can add a note to say that older instances need special handling, but 
from our own experiences, they have been painful to manage. Another issue that 
we might encounter during a cluster end point update is when instances are 
materialized in Oozie (which are not in waiting state). These ones will 
invariably fail post update and might require hand holding.

> Support cluster updates
