Hi Anthony. We have a contrib in the current release, it's under src. I'm not sure I understand, what is contrib section referring to? Or do you mean client recipe implementations? (like ZOOKEEPER-78, which is being worked on for 3.2) Patrick Anthony Urso wrote: So does this mean no contrib

i'm ready to reevaluate it. i did the contrib for fatjar and it was extremely painful! (and that was an extremely simple contrib!) we really want to ramp up the contribs and get a bunch of recipe implementations in, so we need something that makes it really easy. i'm not a fan of maven (they

Ben, you might want to look at buildr, it recently graduated from the apache incubator: http://buildr.apache.org/ Buildr is a build system for Java applications. We wanted something that’s simple and intuitive to use, so we only need to tell it what to do, and it takes care of the rest. But

just to be clear: i'm not a maven fan, but i'm not sure anything else is better. buildr looks better flexibility wise, but i think maven is much more popular and mature. with ivy we are still stuck with ant build files. ben Patrick Hunt wrote: Ben, you might want to look at buildr, it

Speaking of the contrib section, what is the status of ZOOKEEPER-103? Is it ready to be reevaluated now that 3.0 is out? Cheers, Anthony On Fri, Jan 9, 2009 at 11:58 AM, Mahadev Konar maha...@yahoo-inc.com wrote: Hi Kevin,  It would be great to have such high level interfaces. It could be

So far we've stayed with the process used by core as this minimizes the amount of work we need to do re process/build/release, etc... we just copy the process/build/release etc... used in core, we get all that for free. I'm hesitant to diverge as this will increase the amount of work we need

OK so it sounds from the group that there are still reasons to provide rope in ZK to enable algorithms like leader election. Couldn't ZK ship higher level interfaces for leader election, mutexes, semapores, queues, barriers, etc instead of pushing this on developers? Then the remaining APIs,

Well if that were the direction, goal, I'd feel more comfortable about recommending ZK.. If a company were to implement some of these algorithms then I suspect they'd run into a race condition, etc with all that rope. For my part I'd be willing to contribute the NodeWatcher/NodeListener I
