Warning
We recommend configuring a merge blackout with a small limit merges to: size: In a cluster configured for high availability, forests that recover from node restart will remain in wait replication until the next merge. Until that time, the acting primary forest cannot afford to fail over as there is no longer an acting replica with the mount state of sync replicating.
