hi Guys, Am currently looking for a framework/toolkit which provides reliable network management I mean group management, node election etc. including application level message transfer.
To put it in a simple way, a process group communication toolkit like JGroups (http://jgroups.org) (it is licensed under LGPL, so we cannot use it) This is for managing the network nodes present in a ADS Multi Master Replication System One idea is to use ActiveMQ with it 'Network of Brokers' feature. IMO this might be heavy with all the JMS thingy but am still evaluating the feasibility of using ActiveMQ. And another one I have come across is ZooKeeper(http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper/) from the web site <snip> ZooKeeper is a high-performance coordination service for distributed applications. It exposes common services - such as naming, configuration management, synchronization, and group services - in a simple interface so you don't have to write them from scratch. You can use it off-the-shelf to implement consensus, group management, leader election, and presence protocols. And you can build on it for your own, specific needs. <snip> did any one use it before? or do you have any other suggestions. As am still trying for a possible solution, I think this is the right time to ask for your suggestions. I appreciate your time :) Kiran Ayyagari
