Small question about clusterupdate #528

Open rtn28 opened 2 years ago

rtn28 commented 2 years ago

No issues, I just have a quick question:

Are there any circumstances where running clusterupdate would result in breaking a cluster into two or more clusters after the update? For example, if the updated database included a sequence that was similar to some sequences in a cluster (but somehow not all of them), is there any chance that that cluster would get split?

It would not break clusters but it can delete sequences within a cluster.
