Guys, I am thinking of deprecating this property.
1. nodes with different grid names can discover each other and build a single topology. I heard that some of the users expected that there would be separate topologies 2. Locally started nodes can be accessed via their IDs through Ignition interface. 3. Internally gridName is used in components serialization and deserializaiton, but this is very unreliable and can be broken if different names are configured within the same topology - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-10 Thoughts? --Yakov
