Looks good, thanks!

Hazelcast stores Jet job state in distributed map objects and uses their backup configuration for replication.
During a split-brain, the primary partition and all its backups may end up in the same (smaller) sub-cluster,
leaving the larger one without the required snapshot data and causing the job restart to fail.
To reduce this risk, increase the number of job backups.
