The whole discussion is about protecting against force-major issues, including Ignite bugs. You are assuming that a user application will somehow continue to function if an Ignite node is stopped. In most cases it will just freeze itself and cause the rest of the application to hang. Again, "kill+stop" is the most deterministic and the safest default behavior. Try a graceful shutdown (which will make restart easier), and then kill the process regardless. Note that we are arguing about the default behavior. If a user does not like this default, then this user can change it to another behavior. > 2) User might want to handle Ignite node crash before shutting down the > whole JVM - raise alert, close external resources, etc > Very unlikely, but if a user is this advanced, then this user can change the default behavior. Most users will not even know how to configure such custom shutdown behavior and would prefer an automatic kill. 3) IEP-14 document has important notes: "More than one Ignite node could be > started in one JVM process" and "Different nodes in one JVM process could > belong to different clusters". This is possible only in embedded mode.

I have not. This scenario is extremely unlikely and should not define the default behavior. Again, if a user is so advanced to come up with such a sophisticated deployment, then the same user should be able to set different default behaviors for different clusters.
