I'm looking to create a statefulset using affinity. I have added a label to my 3 nodes. Two of them have area=area1 and one node has area=area2. I'm looking to run my statefulset pods only on the nodes with area=area1. It's not working. I'm getting an error from the scheduler that no nodes were matched. I'm running Kubernetes v1.7.4
