Flavio Paiva Junqueira updated ZOOKEEPER-194: --------------------------------------------- Attachment: ZOOKEEPER-194.patch I have tried to make the use of the term "quorum" consistent with the way we use it, and that we find in the literature. I have also replaced some words like "atomic" and "complete" that may cause confusion in the way they were used. > Fix terminology in zookeeperAdmin.xml > ------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-194 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-194 > Project: Zookeeper > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: documentation > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Flavio Paiva Junqueira > Assignee: Flavio Paiva Junqueira > Fix For: 3.0.0 > > Attachments: ZOOKEEPER-194.patch > > > According to the trunk version of zookeeperAdmin.xml, a quorum is a group of > servers running an instance of the zookeeper service.This terminology is not > standard. We should use "ensemble" to denote a group of zookeeper servers, > and "quorum" to denote a minimum subset of the ensemble necessary, for > example, to commit an operation or to support a leader. In our case, a quorum > is always a majority of servers of the ensemble. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
