IgniteCheckedException: Failed to perform cache operation (cache is stopped)

Question

Every now and then, I see the following exception which I do not understand. It happens when not all nodes of a cluster are online. I'm not aware that a cache can be started or stopped (Windows, C#, Ignite Version 2.4). The cluster is active when I receive that error and persistency is enabled.

Do you run queries from client node? In logs should be "cache stopped" message, check what happened before cache stopping. Please attach log snippet from that node. — Mitya XMitya, Apr 12 '18 at 09:15
It is no client node. Unfortunately I cannot purposely reproduce the error. — sa.he, Apr 18 '18 at 19:33
