> While playing with AI3 beta1 deb package, I've noticed that 'ignite3db'
> service doesn't join any cluster after being installed and started. That may
> be fine from the DB's point of view, but this behavior may not obvious for a
> mere user. In order to make AI3 ready to work, user needs to run 'ignite3
> cluster init ...' first. Unfortunately, this point is not currently covered
> properly neither in
> [DEVNOTES.md|https://github.com/apache/ignite-3/blob/main/DEVNOTES.md] nor in
> [existing
> docs|https://ignite.apache.org/docs/3.0.0-beta/quick-start/getting-started-guide].
> Command 'systemctl status ignite3db.service' says "active (running)",
> command 'ignite3 node status' shows "state: starting", DB log says
> "Components started, joining the cluster". Everything seem to work fine, but
> the next user's step is not obvious here. User may try to open SQL console
> but it will not work until cluster is initialized.
> I'm afraid a significant part of newcomers may be discouraged by this
> behavior. They could be a step close to the final line, but think "it doesn't
> work with no reason", and refuse to try AI3 anymore. To avoid this, some
> words about "cluster init" should be added to "Getting started guide" and,
> probably, to DEVNOTES.
