Dynamically Growing Clusters in Aerospike v3.9.1 and Beyond

Aerospike v3.9.2 introduces a new Heartbeat algorithm (v3) that simplifies operational experience and allows dynamically adding nodes up to the maximum cluster size allowed by the edition. The new algorithm improves both speed of cluster formation and stability, reducing network bandwidth consumption and enabling faster cluster formation in mesh mode. It also supports larger clusters with mesh mode and allows stopping and restarting the heartbeat layer in mesh and multicast modes. Additionally, a cluster-name option is introduced for easier demarcation and node removal from a cluster. The Community Edition is now limited to a maximum of 32 nodes, encouraging users to upgrade to the Enterprise Edition when needed.
