When running Sequoia with two backends connected through a 10/100 switch, I pulled the Ethernet cable from one machine. I then did an insert on the virtual DB. It took about 15 seconds for the controller to post a failure. Immediately thereafter, I used the console to get the status of the backend that was disconnected. After typing the command "show backend *" it took well over a minute for the results to be posted. I then attempted another insert and the stats immediately showed after that. I can't wait for the next write; I need to be able to know immediately when the controller posts a failure.
I tried the same test using my own console application and the JMX interface. In my app it simply connects to the JMX server and starts polling for the backend read/write/initialized status. I got the same result - it hung for over a minute while trying to poll until I tried to do another insert. Is there any way to quickly find the state of the database? I have to notify the users of my software as soon as Sequoia determines there's a problem with a backend. I need this information ASAP. The only thing that I can come up with at this point is to parse the log entries from the controller, because it seems to be doing a better job of notifying when there's a problem. But this seems hacky, and I don't want to do it that way. I want to use JMX to receive notifications from Sequoia when there's a problem. I don't see any notifications being posted. Are there any? If not, is there a faster way to query that information?
