Wso2 IS Clustering (LoadBalancing/Failover)

I am looking into clustering of the Wso2 IS in here.

  1. Does it really serve the Failover case?
  2. How many nodes are needed for a minimum load-balance scenario?
  3. As per the documentation, clustering is configuration between 5.1 & 5.2. Isn't it possible to achieve with same versions / much older versions?

Documentation explains how to create two node cluster with active state (both nodes are active) and fronted by a load balancer.

If you need a failover scenario, you can have a node in active state (assuming one node can serve all of your requests) and one node in passive state. If active node fails, load balancer has to direct the traffic to the passive node. So this will serve the failover scenario. You don't need to do any configuration changes in IS level for this. This can be configured in the load balancer level.

Documentation explains clustering for IS 5.1.0 and 5.2.0 versions, but not between these 2 versions. Cluster can be created with only 1 version of server nodes, but not with nodes of different versions.
