Hongchao Deng commented on ZOOKEEPER-1994:
------------------------------------------

What about adding a sequential version on each reconfig. Nothing needs to be 
replaced in current code.

1 2 3 look better but I don't see any other advantage

That's true. I am fine with either.

Time to continue to disucss code change to back up. If there is a demand for 
the sequence, it's not hard to make.

> Backup config files.

> We should create a backup file for a static or dynamic configuration file 
> before changing the file. 
> Since the static file is changed at most twice (once when removing the 
> ensemble definitions, at which point a dynamic file doesn't exist yet, and 
> once when removing clientPort information) its probably fine to back up the 
> static file independently from the dynamic file. 
> To track backup history:
> Option 1: we could have a .bakXX extention for backup where XX is a  sequence 
> number. 
> Option 2: have the configuration version be part of the file name for dynamic 
> configuration files (instead of in the file like now). Such as 
> zoo_replicated1.cfg.dynamic.1000000 then on reconfiguration simply create a 
> new dynamic file (with new version) and update the link in the static file to 
> point to the new dynamic one.
