Re: ndnd no wait option implications

Hi

if you allow a partitioned start you could end up in a split brain situation and loose data.

Imagine a situation where e.g. nodes 17 and 18 are offline and 19 receives updates. Then 19 is also forced to stop. If after that 17 or 18 is allowed to start in a partitioned manner then the updates to 19 will be lost. 17 or 18 starts without those updates as there is no way for 17 or 18 to "know" about updates to 19 without a network connection to it. If 17 or 18 wait for 19 when starting they will auto-recover missing updates from 19.

This scenario is probably more unlikely with 3 replicas than with 2.
