Node Rebuild

The Lightbits cluster has the ability to rebuild data on a node if it is not in sync with other replications on other nodes. The cluster will identify that there is a node that is not in sync and will trigger the rebuild process. This could happen due to connectivity issues to the node, software issues that caused the node to stop responding, or for restart of an instance.

The node will decide whether to perform a partial rebuild - usually after a short disruption or reboot, or a full rebuild in cases of prolonged downtime. During the rebuild process, all volumes that have a replication on the affected node will be in degraded mode. Once the rebuild is done, all volumes will return to be fully available.
