Benjamin Reed commented on ZOOKEEPER-107:
-----------------------------------------
i think i agree with flavio about using setData instead of NEWVIEW. (to be
honest we had talked about this approach a while back in private.) we have
already reserved the /zookeeper namespace (by convention). so if we use
/zookeeper/ensemble to store the ensembles, then we can just use setData and
getData to implement NEWVIEW and GETVIEW. This has two nice properties: 1) we
don't need to touch the protocol code at all. 2) we can use standard clients to
administer the view changes. for example, you could use the cli to get and
manipulate the views.
@raghu: here is the scenario for split brain: you have an ensemble of A, B, C,
D, and E. Your new view will be made up of B, C, D, E, and F. if your update
only hits D, E, and F, you can have two working ZooKeeper instances: A, B, C
and D, E, F, thus giving your split brain.
