"Transaction may or may not have committed" receive during scheduled node

Development
1

I’ve tried to check client behaviour during scheduled server shutdown.
I wrote client that updated single key (during transaction), repeatedly. I set up cluster of 3 nodes with 2-level replication. Runed client, waited for some time. Then I excluded one server using fdbcli exclude command.
For a few transactions I received “Transaction may or may not have committed”.
Is this expected behaviour for a scheduled downtime?

Yes, this is the expected behavior. This error can occur when the transaction subsystem is restarted because we might not be able to tell whether an in-progress commit was made durable and will be recovered by the new transaction subsystem. Excluding certain processes in the cluster causes the transaction subsystem to restart, leading to this behavior.
