Stefan Egli commented on SLING-7830:
------------------------------------
We could make the prefix configurable, and that would then be used when
calculating and storing the leaderElectionId the first time.
In which case, yes, having the prefix sort order inverted vs the rest would
solve the problem, agreed.

> Key: SLING-7830
> 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
