Karen Smoler Miller edited comment on GEODE-1883 at 10/17/16 7:37 PM: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There should be an update in the newly-added documentation about the client setting of the properties. I will do this in the {{develop}} branch, and if there must be a third Geode release candidate for 1.0.0-incubating, this change should be cherry picked into the new release candidate. Also, the documentation should be updated again if/when this bug is fixed. was (Author: karensmolermiller): There should be an update in the newly-added documentation about the client setting of the properties.
