Simple way to add/remove nodes or add more clients

[kdhabalia]

Is there an easy way to add and remove nodes? If so how do you deploy the cluster changes after adding add new nodes or clients in cluster.yml?

We still working on this part. Updating a running 3FS cluster is quite a complicate problem.

@diabloneo I want to know, when I refer to your articles (Add a Storage Node to a Chain Table -- 1 and Add a Storage Node to a Chain Table -- 2) to add nodes, will there be any loss in the data in the 3FS cluster?

@xlcbingo1999 According our test, the answer is no. We are going to publish the add storage node feature in a week, it implemented against method 2. Feel free to do further test and report any issue.

@diabloneo I tried to remove a data node, but I had no idea how to update the chain table. Is there a more appropriate way to remove a data node and ensure that the data is not lost?
