Not as I recall. The topic was someone considering DB2 or Oracle. And considering shared nothing vs shared everything. The architectures are different and lead to different outcomes.

Can you fail-over with shared nothing if you lose one or more nodes?

Can you add or remove nodes without some code rewrite with shared nothing (small but some)?

Can you add or remove nodes without repartitioning the data with shared nothing?

Can you add or remove nodes without a shutdown with shared nothing?

I'll gladly correct any misunderstandings on my part.
