Node fails to join a cluster after a shutdown or crash of a node in cluster. Joining node can be restart or new (different port) one.

The is for Hotrod server cluster with more then 2 nodes. For cluster with 3 nodes, if one node is shutdown. It gives error while restart of that node. Also it is not possible to add new nodes (I tried new port). The error log - [JoinTask] Retrieved old consistent hash address list null
