Stu Hood commented on ZOOKEEPER-29: ----------------------------------- Two comments: ---- This ticket seems to overlap with ZOOKEEPER-368 to some degree: wouldn't an Observer simply be a server in the quorum that wouldn't get to vote on proposed values? ---- {quote} I find mixing this quorum representation with the current configuration a little messy, especially because it is an optional feature and it does correspond to a simple value loaded from a file. We need some logic to perform quorum verification aside from values that we load from a separate configuration file. {quote} It could probably correspond to a key loaded from a flat file, if the key was hierarchial. It would require a bit of a config overhaul: rather than {code} server.1=ahost:2181:2888 {code} .. you'd want {code} server.1.hostname=ahost server.1.port=2181 server.1.otherport=2888 server.1.weight=3 {code} ...so then weight is optional, which defaults to an equal weight for all servers. > Flexible quorums > ---------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-29 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-29 > Project: Zookeeper > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: server > Reporter: Patrick Hunt > Assignee: Flavio Paiva Junqueira > Attachments: ZOOKEEPER-29.patch, ZOOKEEPER-29.patch, > ZOOKEEPER-29.patch > > > Moved from SourceForge to Apache. > http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1938782&group_id=209147&atid=1008547 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
