support balancing of client load across servers in an ensemble --------------------------------------------------------------
Key: ZOOKEEPER-571 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-571 Project: Zookeeper Issue Type: Improvement Components: quorum, server Reporter: Patrick Hunt Currently the ensemble does not ensure a balanced load across servers in an ensemble. Clients randomly connect to a server, which typically balances the number of sessions. However there are problems with this: 1) session count is balanced, but not session load 2) if server A goes down all of the sessions on that server migrate to other servers in the cluster randomly, this is fine, however when server A comes back into service it will have no sessions, and migration of sessions from other servers may take time The quorum should probably have some way of broadcasting load, and occasionally re-balance the sessions based on this information. Might be tricky though, want to ensure that we aren't constantly ping-ponging sessions to servers. Probably need some hysteresis as well as limit the frequency. Real time tuning would need to be supported. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
