Subject: Proper way to use Hazelcast on EC2?
From: Allen Rohner <aroh...@gmail.com>
To: Hazelcast <hazelcast@googlegroups.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I'm using Hazelcast on EC2. Currently, my cluster is about 5 nodes.
Several times an hour some nodes will join the cluster, and some nodes
will leave the cluster. Is this a supported configuration?

Are there any gotchas or special configuration I need to do?

Do I need to call Hazelcast.shutdownAll() when a box leaves the
cluster? What happens if I'm unable to, because the box is powered
off, etc.
