Stephan Ewen commented on FLINK-2345:
-------------------------------------

Can you give us a few more details about this effort?

I assume it only affects the "standalone" mode, as the YARN mode does not need 
discovery (YARN manages nodes and containers). Also, in the high-availability 
mode that is coming up, discovers of the masters/leader will happen with 
zookeeper.

This proposal would hence affect the standalone mode in non-HA setups. That is 
fair, such setups are common for experimenting.

Can you outline how the mechanism should work:
  - How does it interoperate with the mode where people still configure the 
cluster manually (I think that mode should keep existing)?
  - What is the general mechanism? Multicast/broadcast messages?
  - How do nodes know which master to discover, if multiple Flink setups run in 
the same network?

BTW: Here are some notes about how discovery happens in the upcoming master 
high-availability with zookeeper:

> Best for of local clustering is using auto discovery. Also automatic tuning
