Can I add new server node during the system is indexing production views

Couchbase Server
1

I have a cluster with 3 nodes. Due to some reasons one node got failed.
The Couchbase cluster has done auto failover and the failed node is removed from cluster.

Now if the cluster is indexing production views ‘_design/sync_gateway’ and ‘_design/sync_housekeeping’.
It is showing the bucket count correctly and all the documents from failed server node are there in the bucket (distributed on other two server nodes)
Can I add new server node during the system is indexing production views, or I need to wait until the production view are fully indexed.

Hi @mdrdhaygude,

I don’t see why you couldn’t add another node while indexing is occurring. Are you getting an error message when you try it?
