Aerospike cluster with different replication factors

Question

I have a cluster with replication factor of 6 (and 6 nodes).

I want to change the replication factor to 3 without downtime.

What happens if I change the RF node by node and restart each node?

Is it possible to work?

Answer 1

Replication factor is unanimous which means it has to be the same for all cluster nodes. It requires a cluster restart to change.
