Andrey,

I think Ignite.affinity() method for ClusterGroup does not make sense in
API because for each cache topology snapshot always consist of cache
affinity nodes. However, I don't see any fundamentally problems in using
affinity fucntion for some collection of nodes. But you should make sure
that your code is aware of changes in this collection.
