Expected behavior. In the newly added brick node Geo-rep Monitor process will get restarted, so all the workers in that node also gets restarted. From documentation, (Chapter 12.5.2) "When adding a brick to the volume on an existing node in the trusted storage pool with a geo-replication session running, the geo-replication daemon on that particular node will automatically be restarted. The new brick will then be recognized by the geo-replication daemon. This is an automated process and no configuration changes are required.
