            public boolean withOor() {

Tasks

• curl -XPOST http://host:adminport/tasks/oor for taking node out of rotation
• curl -XPOST http://host:adminport/tasks/bir for bringing node back into rotation

Note

Please allow the node to run for the grace period and a bit more that you have configured in your load balancer healthchecks so that the load balancer can drain all the requests gracefully.
