4.2. Node Management

    1. {
    2.     "all_nodes":[
    3.         "node1@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"],
    4.     "cluster_nodes":[
    5. }

    • all_nodes are all the nodes that this node knows about.

    • are the nodes that are connected to this node.

    Now look at http://server1:5984/_membership again.

    1. {
    2.     "all_nodes":[
    3.         "node1@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx",
    4.     ],
    5.     "cluster_nodes":[
    7.         "node2@yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy"
    8.     ]
    9. }

    And you have a 2 node cluster :)

    To remove node2 from server yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, you need to first know the revision of the document that signifies that node’s existence:
