> The goal of this feature is to be able to run multiple Nimbus servers so that
> if one goes down another one will transparently take over. Here's what needs
> to happen to implement this:
> 1. Everything currently stored on local disk on Nimbus needs to be stored in
> a distributed and reliable fashion. A DFS is perfect for this. However, as we
> do not want to make a DFS a mandatory requirement to run Storm, the storage
> of these artifacts should be pluggable (default to local filesystem, but the
> interface should support DFS). You would only be able to run multiple NImbus
> if you use the right storage, and the storage interface chosen should have a
> flag indicating whether it's suitable for HA mode or not. If you choose local
> storage and try to run multiple Nimbus, one of the Nimbus's should fail to
> launch.
> 2. Nimbus's should register themselves in Zookeeper. They should use a leader
> election protocol to decide which one is currently responsible for launching
> and monitoring topologies.
> 3. StormSubmitter should find the Nimbus to connect to via Zookeeper. In case
> the leader changes during submission, it should use a retry protocol to try
> reconnecting to the new leader and attempting submission again.
