Description
When replacing data nodes, it says to just run update-data
to let a new node take its place. This is problematic:
- If there is any data with RF<2, it gets lost if you do this. I think this needs a big warning.
- AE is off by default but these instructions assume it is on
- If the data node is currently working (not a failed/lost disk), users could also just copy data over and use the instructions from https://docs.influxdata.com/enterprise_influxdb/v1.9/administration/manage/renaming/#rename-data-nodes , which seems better than waiting for AE to fix things.
