Gideon updated GEODE-4250:
--------------------------
Description:
Command would only succeed when the system is fully redundant.
Re-establishing Redundancy after the loss of a peer node is typically far more
urgent and important than achieving better balance. The operational impact of
rebalancing is also much higher, forcing impacted buckets' updates to be
distributed to _redundancy-copies + 1_ peer processes and potentially spiking
p2p connections/threads (and thus load) far beyond normal operations. If the
system is already close to exhausting available capacity for some hardware
component, this can be enough to push it over-the-edge (and may force the
original fault to recur). This problem is exacerbated when the cluster's
overall capacity has been reduced due to the loss of a physical server.
Without the ability to separate the operational tasks of re-establishing full
data redundancy and rebalancing bucket partitions (that are already safely
redundant), system administrators may be forced to provision replacement
capacity _before_ they can restore full service, thus increasing downtime
unnecessarily.
For these reasons, we must add the option to execute these operational
separately.
It still makes sense for _rebalancing_ ops to first re-establish redundancy, so
we can keep the existing GFSH command/behavior (it would still be useful to
clearly log completion of one step before the next one begins). We need a new
GFSH command/ResourceManager API to execute re-establishment of redundancy
_without_ rebalancing.
