Add node to cluster or create a new cluster. about dotnet-etcd

[shubhamranjan]

@JTrotta As of current release, no. Will be pushing a few more features on this weekend post which the following methods related to cluster modification would be available:

   // MemberAdd adds a member into the cluster.
  MemberAdd

  // MemberRemove removes an existing member from the cluster.
  MemberRemove

  // MemberUpdate updates the member configuration.
  MemberUpdate

  // MemberList lists all the members in the cluster.
  MemberList

Create a new cluster - Not sure this is possible as the client first needs at least a single node cluster to connect it.

But it's not really clear to me how to do that in etcd, or better to say, if it has any sense. May it be that adding the first member is equivalent to create the cluster?

For the scope of this client just like other data store clients, a single node cluster should always be present to start with. If the cluster is not present, it has nothing to connect to and perform operations on. Creation of cluster is indeed possible (on the same server or using authorisation on a remote server) but that is something we are not looking forward to as creation (initiation) usually does not fall under client side.
Hence, adding a new member would be only possible if you have at-least a single node cluster up and running already.

Very good news.
Would be nice to have th possibility to create the cluster, i.e. The first node, switch on, no other nodes are already present, creates the cluster.
But it's not really clear to me how to do that in etcd, or better to say, if it has any sense. May it be that adding the first member is equivalent to create the cluster?
