Even better docs about joining
@@ -33,13 +33,13 @@ To join a second node to this leader, execute the following command on _host2_:
```bash
host2:$ rqlited -node-id 2 -http-addr host2:4001 -raft-addr host2:4002 -join http://host1:4001 ~/node

-_If a node receives a join request, and that node is not actually the leader of the cluster, the receiving node will automatically redirect the requesting node to the leader node. As a result a node can actually join a cluster by contacting any node in the cluster. You can also specify multiple join addresses, and the node will try each address until joining is successful._

Once executed you now have a cluster of two nodes. Of course, for fault-tolerance you need a 3-node cluster, so launch a third node like so on _host3_:
```bash
host3:$ rqlited -node-id 3 -http-addr host3:4001 -raft-addr host3:4002 -join http://host1:4001 ~/node
```
-_When simply restarting a node, there is no further need to pass `-join`. However if a node does attempt to join a cluster it is already a member of, and neither its node ID or Raft network address has changed, then the cluster will ignore the join request as there is nothing to do -- the joining node is already a member of the cluster. However, if either the node ID or Raft network address of the joining node has changed, the cluster will first remove the joining node before processing the join request._
+_When simply restarting a node, there is no further need to pass `-join`. However if a node does attempt to join a cluster it is already a member of, and neither its node ID or Raft network address has changed, then the cluster Leader will ignore the join request as there is nothing to do -- the joining node is already a fully-configured member of the cluster. However, if either the node ID or Raft network address of the joining node has changed, the cluster Leader will first automatically remove the joining node from the cluster configuration before processing the join request. For most applications this is an implementation detail which can be safely ignored, and cluster-joins are basically idempotent._
You've now got a fault-tolerant, distributed, relational database. It can tolerate the failure of any node, even the leader, and remain operational.
