--------------------------------------
Summary: LeaderSelector does not assign leader randomly
Key: CURATOR-44
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CURATOR-44
Project: Apache Curator
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Recipes
Affects Versions: 2.0.1-incubating
Reporter: Anders Wallgren
The javadoc for LeaderSelector says leadership is assigned randomly but this
does not appear to be the case.
A fair mutex is used so it appears that leaders are selected in the order that
they attempt to acquire the mutex.
This probably wouldn't be much more than a documentation issue except that it
tends to concentrate leaders on one node in the cluster when each node
participates in more than one election and tends to start the LeaderSelectors
right around the time the node comes up.
