It sounds like it must be unique then. I would propose the following: 1. If user defines the instanceName, then we assign it to the node. 2. If user does not define the instance name, then we have to give it some unique value, like node ID or PID.
Will this change be backward compatible, or should we leave it as null if user does not define it? D. On Fri, Dec 30, 2016 at 4:19 PM, Denis Magda <dma...@gridgain.com> wrote: > Sounds reasonable.
