Carsten Ziegeler commented on SLING-5435:
-----------------------------------------
[~egli] ok yes, maybe marking the listener with a property is better than
introducing a new event type.
For the API, for now we could simply state that the API only handles one case
(sync'ed). Adding a new method looks too confusing to me , given the little
benefit. I don't really expect client code to be based on the API - it's more
an informative API
> Decouple processes that depend on cluster leader elections from the cluster
> leader elections.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-5435
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: General
> Reporter: Ian Boston
>
> Currently there are many processes in Sling that must complete before a Sling
> Discovery cluster leader election is declared complete. These processes
> include things like transferring all Jobs from the old leader to the new
> leader and waiting for the data to appear visible on the new leader. This
> introduces an additional overhead to the leader election process which
> introduces a higher than desirable timeout for elections and heartbeat. This
> higher than desirable timeout precludes the use of more efficient election
> and distributed consensus algorithms as implemented in Etcd, Zookeeper or
> implementations of RAFT.
> If the election could be declared complete leaving individual components to
> manage their own post election operations (ie decoupling those processes from
> the election), then faster election or alternative Discovery implementations
> such as the one implemented on etcd could be used.
