I have cluster where nodes communicate using shoal GMS.
Everything works fine (multicast work) until some node leave cluster (i
just kill process).
I have some monitoring system which need to send one shoal message each
5 sec. When some node leave group and view going to be changed,
sendMessage method become blocked and it take 3-5 minutes . If i keep
sending message, each call to sendMessage method get blocked.
After 3-5 minutes all works again.

My application is running under Centos Linux, using Jetty server

Does anybody can tell me why this is happens?
 Is it regular behavior for shoal or i need to do something to fix this
long pause in sending messages?
