Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating Ambry's existing node, partition, and rebalance operations, then determine whether adding nodes without restarting servers is supported. Done would require a documented and implemented way to force rebalancing and add nodes safely, including the required operational steps.
