Cluster disbalance on node adding

I have a cluster of three nodes that use Aerospike 3.6.0. Last week I was upgrading memory on each node. I have a process like following:

  1. Stop aerospike on one node
  2. Speed migration process up for other nodes
  3. As soon as migration process has finished I start aerospike service
  4. Speed migration process down using default settings

When service has started cluster has 1-2 minutes downtime. This downtime was repeated when I was upgrading each node.

Here are namespace infos:

Before maintanence node is going to start

My questions are:

  1. What’s going wrong with my cluster?
  2. What should I do to increase cluster availablilty higher when adding nodes?

Object counts during migrations is a common source of confusion. Basically the counts are underestimates during migration. Partitions that haven’t reached their final state are not counted.

I would recommend upgrading to the latest version, there were several issues related to rebalance resolved since 3.6.0.
