Hi, we currently use starrocks on Kubernetes with a 1 leader/4 follower setup. We want to modify this setup to use 1 leader/2 follower/2 observer. We use starrocks-kubernetes-operator for deployment. Starrocks documentation mentions that FEs automatically come up as followers and we can use the ALTER SYSTEM ADD OBSERVER command to add FEs as observers. I want to find out if there is a way to automatically register an FE as an OBSERVER during service discovery, thanks!

Hi @Shashank Bhaskar I am trying to run the ALTER command, but it says FE with the same host: kube-starrocks-fe-1.kube-starrocks-fe-search.dock.svc.cluster.local already exists. How to make existing follower as observer?
