hmmm.  not quite clear on what you are asking - but we regularly add and
remove nodes.  you don't need to stop all nodes to do this at all - to add a
node simply start a feeder on it, to remove a node simply stop that nodes
feeder.

is that what you are asking?

in summary we regularly use rq to put together 'ad-hoc' clusters of 3-10 nodes
and this generally takes less than 5 minutes or so.
