Motivation

Thin clients connect to one or more known servers. The set of endpoints is defined in ClientConfiguration and can not change after client start. However, Ignite clusters can be dynamic: nodes start and stop, IP addresses change. This is especially true in cloud environments, Kubernetes, and so on. In particular, Best Effort Affinity requires connections to all nodes to function efficiently.

Thin clients should be able to discover all server nodes automatically when connected to any of them, and maintain an up to date list of servers at all times. This behavior should be optional// Define the problem to be solved.
