On start up, Artifactory creates YAML files to cache the node IDs of the connected JFrog Products (i.e. Xray).
Sometimes, the cached YAML files can cause errors if a JFrog Product is reinstalled on the same server since the node ID will be updated but Artifactory is still storing the previous node ID.

An example error message could be:
Cluster join: Error during cluster join: Error response from service registry, status code: 409; message: Requested Router Join for nodeId: xray-0 at: IP_ADDRESS conflicts (node id) with existing node

Affected Versions
JFrog Platform versions (Artifactory 7.x, Xray 3.x, etc)
