FAQ - Can I quiesce an individual namespace?

Detail

Each namespace has a separate set of partitions, and the quiesce command operates on the succession list of partitions, so shouldn’t it be possible to quiesce one namespace independently of the others on the node? This would avoid unnecessary migrations for namespaces that don’t need it during rolling restarts, for example.

Answer

This is actually not supported. Quiescing happens for all namespaces on a node at once.

Notes

To prioritize migrations of some namespaces before others, dynamically set the migrate-order configuration variable.
