In a data center there are typically 5 chubby instances and their locations are stored in DNS. A client reads their location from DNS and then traverses them to locate the Chubby master. After [snipped the rest]This manual configuration in Hadoop was a limitation I noticed first thing and have suggested Zeroconf (dynamic multicast central- server-optional service-discovering DNS) as a solution.
I would loooooove to see that happen! cheers -- Torsten
