Stops a running node instance (Tech Preview).
Synopsis
This operation stops a specific node instance, stopping all of the node's Lightbits services, including duroslight and the backend instance.
This is useful for dual-node servers where you want to stop a single node instance without affecting the other node.
This operation is blocked if it could cause data unavailability. Use --force to override this check.
This is a potentially disruptive operation that should be used with care. Only system administrators can execute this command.
Note that node maintenance operations (stop/start/restart) are a tech preview, for evaluative purposes only. They should not be used in production clusters.
