A note on upgrading

Dirk 1.2.0 instances are compatible with Dirk 1.1.0 instances. As such, in a multi-instance Dirk environment it is possible to upgrade individual Dirk instances to confirm their correct operation without upgrading all instances at the same time. A potential upgrade strategy is to upgrade a minority of instances (for example in a 2-of-3 setup upgrading a single instance) and confirm via metrics and/or logs that the instance operating correctly before upgrading further instances.

• process.generation-timeout the time allowed for the distributed key generation operation before erroring (default 70s)
