Carsten Ziegeler commented on SLING-7830:
-----------------------------------------
[~egli] Ok, thanks now I understand better where you saw the problems - yes, in
my approach a leaderElectionId is set correctly from the beginning - at startup
of the instance - and it will not change afterwords.
So when a leader change is required, the instances starting up will have a
"higher" leaderElectionId from the beginning. The leaderElectionId of the old
instances will stay as is.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7830
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Discovery
> Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
> Priority: Major
>
> The current leader selection is based on startup time and sling id (mainly)
> and is stable across changed in the topology for as long as the leader is up
> and running.
> However there are use cases like blue green deployment where new instances
> with a new version are started and taking over the functionality. However
> with the current discovery setup, the leader would still be one of the
> instances with the old version.
> With a new deployed version, tasks currently bound to the leader should run
> on the new version.
> Therefore the leader needs to switch and stay the leader (until it dies).
> We probably need an additional criteria for the leader selection
