Warning

SingleStore 9.0 gives you the opportunity to preview, evaluate, and provide feedback on new and upcoming features prior to their general availability. In the interim, SingleStore 8.9 is recommended for production workloads, which can later be upgraded to SingleStore 9.0.

Cluster Management Commands

Node Requirements for SingleStore Commands

SingleStore commands must be run on the appropriate type(s) of node in a SingleStore cluster.

When sync_permissions and enable_query_forwarding are set to ON, all Data Definition Language (DDL) commands can be forwarded from child aggregator to master. This list of requirements reflects this behavior.

For more information about these variables, see the Sync Variables Lists.

X = recommended to run on this type of node
P = possible (but not recommended) to run on this type of node
blank = cannot run on this type of node

Leaf States

Each leaf is in one of the following states:

State	Description
`Unknown`	In this state, a leaf is not part of the cluster. This is the state before you run ADD LEAF to introduce the leaf into the system. A leaf that is unknown will not show up in SHOW LEAVES. The REMOVE LEAF command will transition a leaf into the `unknown` state.
`Online`	This is the default, healthy state of a leaf. In the `online` state, the leaf is an active member of the distributed system and is either currently serving or ready to serve data to the aggregators.
`Offline`	The master aggregator periodically sends a heartbeat (ping) to all the nodes in a cluster to determine if they are responsive and online. A leaf enters the `offline` state if the master aggregator cannot reach it. The heartbeat frequency is based on typical network latencies and node responsiveness. It is set to a default of 150ms which has been empirically determined. If the cluster is in redundancy 2 any partitions on the `offline` node will be failed over to the leaves pair. The master aggregator continues to ping `offline` nodes to detect when they should be moved into the `attaching` state. See How Failover is Triggered in HA for failover cases.
`Recovering`	Not online, and not available for read or write queries. A leaf in `recovering` state has been restarted and is replaying data back into memory.
`Detached`	In this state, the leaf is detached from the cluster. A leaf transitions from `online` to `detached` when DETACH LEAF is run. You can reintroduce the leaf into the `online` state with the ATTACH LEAF command. This command will automatically try to reuse the data present on the leaf; this is especially important in redundancy-1. DETACH LEAF is the same as REMOVE LEAF except that after rebalancing away a leaf’s partitions, it transitions it to `detached` instead of `unknown`.
`Attaching`	A leaf transitions from `offline` to `attaching` when it is once again reachable by heartbeats. The master aggregator will automatically run ATTACH LEAF to attach any partitions on the leaf back into the cluster. While the attach is running the leaf will stay in the `attaching` state. When the attach is finished the leaf will move to the `online` state.

The following diagram summarizes the leaf states and the transitions between them.
