Problem
The program ctk settings compare always emits a deviance about gateway.recover_after_time on a fresh cluster.
export CRATEDB_CLUSTER_URL=http://crate:crate@localhost:4200/
uvx cratedb-toolkit settings compare
GATEWAY
=======
gateway.recover_after_time: 0ms (default: 5m)
Solution
Advise: Don't consider this setting, unless expected_nodes and expected_data_nodes are explicitly set.
The cluster also proceeds to immediate recovery, and the default 5 minutes
waiting time does not apply, if neither this setting nor expected_nodes and
expected_data_nodes are explicitly set.
