Improve Cluster Metadata's Integration w/ Membership #439

Open jrwest opened 10 years ago

jrwest commented 10 years ago

cluster metadata is notified when membership changes (via ring updates), however, when membership changes nodes entering the overlay do nothing else. It is worth investigating the following:

throwing away a singleton node's cluster metadata when it joins the cluster (this also solves one known issue w/ activating bucket types)
requiring an exchange when nodes leave the cluster gracefully
handling down nodes specially in the overlay

Marked as 2.0.1 for possible incremental improvement. Could be moved back to 2.1.
