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

> 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.
