Sure thing. The FollowerWatcher class is instantiated by the IClusterManager implementation. It then performs the following
FollowerWatcher.init() which is intended to do the following. 1. Create our follower node so that other nodes know we exist at path "/com/spidertracks/aviator/cluster/follower/10.0.1.1" where the last node is an ephemeral node with the internal IP address of the node. These are lines 67 through 72. 2. Signal to the clusterManager that the cluster has changed (line 79). Ultimately the clusterManager will perform a barrier for partitioning data ( a separate watcher) 3. Register a watcher to receive all future events on the follower path "/com/spidertracks/aviator/cluster/follower/" line 81. Then we have the following characteristics in the watcher 1. If a node has been added or deleted from the children of "/com/spidertracks/aviator/cluster/follower" then continue. Otherwise, ignore the event. Lines 33 through 44 2. If this was an event we should process our cluster has changed, signal to the CusterManager that a node has either been added or removed. line 51. I'm trying to encapsulate the detection of additions and deletions of child nodes within this Watcher. All other events that occur due to a node being added or deleted should be handled externally by the clustermanager.
