Abstract
When a loss of connectivity between a first node in a cluster of nodes and a data store is detected, an input/output (I/O) request associated with an application that was executing on the first node is shipped to a second node in the cluster that is in communication with the data store. The application can be gracefully shut down on the first node, and the second node can execute the application and satisfy the I/O request.
