The Getting Started guide has this infobox: image

I find the text confusing. When it can be inaccurate? Is it just "check-then-act"? What does "informational purposes" means exactly? What is the use-case where I can use this field and when I should NOT rely on it?

SeriyBg commented 2 years ago

@jerrinot the reason for this is that readyMembers are listening for the MembershipStateChangeds which are fire-and-forget events. Thus we do not recommend to thread it a reliable source of truth. But I agree that this can be described more thoroughly

How does this affect users?

In what circumstances would this value be inaccurate?

What more accurate ways do we offer to check how many active members are in the cluster?

SeriyBg commented 2 years ago

@JakeSCahill I don't think there is a precise scenario when this value is inaccurate. The more accurate data will be provided in the future with the implementation of advanced cluster status

JakeSCahill commented 2 years ago

So the potential for a user to see an inaccurate value there is negligible?

Maybe the best course of action is to remove the warning.
