Konstantin Shvachko commented on HADOOP-10641:
----------------------------------------------
??Consensus protocols are expected to provide proofs of the algorithms
correctness??
Steve this jira is not proposing new Consensus protocols, as [stated in this
comment|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10641?focusedCommentId=14027111&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-14027111].
CoordinationEngine here is an interface to be used with existing consensus
algorithms, which indeed go through a rigorous math scrutiny before they become
trustworthy.

> Coordination Engine (CE) is a system, which allows to agree on a sequence of
> events in a distributed system. In order to be reliable CE should be
> distributed by itself.
> Coordination Engine can be based on different algorithms (paxos, raft, 2PC,
> zab) and have different implementations, depending on use cases, reliability,
> availability, and performance requirements.
> CE should have a common API, so that it could serve as a pluggable component
> in different projects. The immediate beneficiaries are HDFS (HDFS-6469) and
> HBase (HBASE-10909).
> First implementation is proposed to be based on ZooKeeper.
