Q: Is using the automatic node naming where every time I bounce a node I get a new node name interfering with restarting from the local gateway?
Q Background: So previously, I asked about bouncing nodes, because it seems that whenever I bounce a node, it has to regenerate the node from the other nodes in the cluster. Someone told me I needed to lock shard allocation, then bounce, because the problem was that the cluster was reallocating the shards off of the node, so then the node wouldn't just come back up from the local gateway. I've tried that, and it doesn't seem to work. What happens is when the instance shutdown, all of its shards go into "unallocated". Then when I startup the instance, the node comes up with zero shards until I unlock shard allocation. So the locking didn't seem to help. I'm wondering if the problem is because all of my nodes are named automatically using the marvel characters list, so essentially the node name changes each time. So the lock/unlock doesn't help, because the cluster is expecting a node with a specific name and when it doesn't find it, it initializes the node with no shards.
