Hi,
I noticed a nodeid is always reassigned after the node is shutdown and
started again (restart). Is this by design? This caused master has to
remove the old node and add the new node, whenever the node is crashed and
restarted.
Is there a way to have the node to keep the same id after restart?
thanks
Daniel

The node ID is auto generated, you can set the node.name though.
What is the problem with things being added back in though?
