Yakov,
Thank you for the clarification, but I must admit I'm still not completely out
of the woods with respect to intended usage. Setting the property to "false"
seems to be most natural and only reasonable option, and I wonder when would
one want to set it to true? I must be missing something.
Also, just to clarify. In the last sentence you're saying: "This way user
doesn't have to list any IPs before start..." How would then the new nodes know
where to look for a node to connect to? They need to get the list of seed nodes
from somewhere, right? If so, then setting isShared to true doesn't really make
much difference - an initial list of seeds still must be provided to every node.
Thanks
Andrey

Subject: Re: TcpDiscoveryVmIpFinder's isShared property
From: yzhda...@apache.org
To: user@ignite.apache.org
Guys, this property is supported in VM IP finder for simplifying discovery in
single VM. I agree, that name could be better, but I would not mess with it for
now and just fix the javadocs (pls review, I did that in master).
"isShared" is a property of any IP finder. If it is "true" then IP finder
allows to add and remove addresses in runtime and this is how, for example, S3
IP finder works. If "isShared" is "false" then IP finder is immutable and all
the addresses should be listed in configuration. This is the most use case for
VM IP finder. Since, usually VM IP finder is created per each Ignite instance
and all the known IPs are listed right away, but there is also an option to
make it shared - set "isShared" to true and literally share it between local VM
Ignite instances. This way user does not have to list any IPs before start,
instead all starting nodes add their addresses to the finder, then get the
registered addresses and continue with discovery procedure.--Yakov

Any chance we could get an explanation here, so we can update the docs? Yakov,
I think you would know how this flag works.

+1 to the question. Very confusing property. At the very least JavaDocs should
be reworked significantly.

Hi there,
I'm a bit confused about the purpose and usage of this property. What is being
shared with who? What are the consequences of setting the property to true or
false? Under what circumstances would one want to set it to either true or
false? Does one care at all?
Thanks
Andrey
