OrientDB-Alter Cluster

OrientDB is an open source NoSQL database management system that is designed for multi-model data. It can handle graph, document, key-value, and object-oriented data models. In OrientDB, a cluster is a group of server nodes where data is stored. Altering an existing cluster means changing its configuration or properties. In this tutorial, we will explore how to alter a cluster in OrientDB.
