-----------------------------------

             Summary: It is possible to get a split-brain scenario among 
applications managed by a zookeeper master election
                 Key: CAMEL-5548
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-5548
             Project: Camel
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: camel-zookeeper
    Affects Versions: 2.10.0
            Reporter: Andrew Wheat


Setup:
Three Zookeeper instances (Z1, Z2, Z3) in two datacenters; A and B. Z1 and Z2 
are in data center A; Z3 is in data center B.

Four Application servers (A1-A4) split evenly between the two datacenters, 
using a camel route to determine if the a message should be sent (quartz -> 
zookeeperpolicy -> activemq)

The master node is A3 in data center B.

When the network fails between the two data centers, The ZK servers in data 
center A have quorum.
When something causes an election to occur in data center A, one of A1 or A2 is 
elected.

Given that no election has occurred in data center B, A3 is also marked as 
master.

=========
Proposed solution:
A change in the zookeeper structure should trigger a re-election among the 
application servers. Since A3 and A4 will be connected to a zookeeper that does 
not have quorum, neither A3 or A4 will be elected as master.
