-------------------------------------------------------------

implemented and tested manually (by explicitly setting sling.id[.file] the same 
with two instances in the same cluster) -> the newly introduced [scary] 
log.error shows up.

> Add a paranoia check to discovery.impl which detects a situation where more 
> than one instance in a cluster is running with the same sling.id. Such a 
> situation can for example occur, when the underlying repository-directory 
> (which includes a sling.id.file) is copied to add an additional cluster slave.
> The suggested paranoia check works as follows:
> Each time a heartbeat is written to the repository, the last value of the 
> heartbeat is checked to see if it matches the value written the last time. If 
> there should be another instance in the same cluster using the same sling.id, 
> it would have written the very same jcr-property but presumably with a 
> slightly different timestamp. Should the value not match to the value last 
> written, then a log.error is issued (with a reference to this bug and a 
> possible fix for the situation).
> Note: this paranoia check is not 100% fool-proof, as it could be that the two 
> instances try to write the very same heartbeat time (same millisecond). Yet 
> it is considered at least a simple, stable mechanism to detect 99.9% of such 
> cases.
