Hello all,

And humble apologies to Angus and Steve who I mailed on this same subject 
before realising that mail should be addressed here.


I've been tasked with investigating the possibility of using Storm (and 
therefore Zookeeper) to support the distributed processing aspect of a new 
product. Our current offering is supported on Windows and Linux, split 70:30 
respectively in the customer base, so whatever tool we choose needs to be 
supported in both environments. From what I've gleaned about Storm (I'm a 
newbie to distributed processing, but have experience with ZeroMQ) it looks 
like a neat product, and one that I would really like to work with. My problem 
is that everything I have read about Storm has a Linux focus, and whilst I 
understand why that is, I would prefer to work with a tool that can give us 
what we need on the Windows platform as well. (It also has quite a Java focus, 
and if I can write what we need in C++ then that is preferable)

Whilst reading about Zookeeper I came across a mention of Corosync and would be 
interested to learn more, especially as it's written in C (we have a vast 
library of algorithms written in C++) as that would avoid us having to use 
things like JNI

I don't want to freak you out with too many questions but would be really 
interested to hear if you think Corosync would help us to produce our new 
framework (not literally of course).

I am particularly interested in knowing if Corosync (whether standalone or in 
tandem with other projects) provides a viable alternative to Storm/Zookeeper

Feel free to look at the website if you're interested in the sort of thing we 
do.
Cheers,
