Description

<rnewson> [23:16] fyi: in a remsh you can do config:set("couchdb", "maintenance_mode", "true" or "nolb") and that node will be removed from the haproxy rotation without turning the node off.
<rnewson> [23:17] "nolb" just removes it from load balancing (the /up endpoint returns a 404 and haproxy is set to check for that now), and "true" will do that too but _also cause the node not to participate in clustered user calls (get doc, put doc, etc, etc)
