[SOLVED] Start action "StartAction" is not supported in the community edition of VoltDB

Start action "StartAction" is not supported in the community edition of VoltDB

I want to add a node to voltdb cluster, use command

voltdb start --add --host=s7biapp26

but, encountered a error about:

ERROR: Start action "StartAction" is not supported in the community edition of VoltDB.
FATAL: This process will exit. Please run VoltDB with the CREATE start action.
VoltDB has encountered an unrecoverable error and is exiting.

My voltdb version is voltdb-community-8.0

So, How to add a node to cluster for community version? What does mean about "Please run VoltDB with the CREATE start action."

Solution

I work at VoltDB. The community edition does not support the feature to elastically scale out the cluster with no downtime, which is invoked using the "voltdb start --add" command. This feature is available on the enterprise edition.

With community edition, you can reconfigure the cluster (to add more nodes) using the process described in the Admin Guide 4.3.4 Reconfiguring the Cluster During a Maintenance Window.
