Flavio Junqueira updated ZOOKEEPER-702:
---------------------------------------
Status: Open (was: Patch Available)
Thanks for the updated patch, Abmar. The new tests, however, are working as
expected. More specifically, the methods in QuorumBase (createLearnersFD and
createSessionsFD) are not being overridden as expected, which affects all new
hammer tests. I haven't checked the other tests, but I suspect they suffer from
the same problem.
I'm canceling the patch for now.

> Failure Detector Module
> Possible Mentor
> Henry Robinson (henry at apache dot org)
> Requirements
> Java, some distributed systems knowledge, comfort implementing distributed
> systems protocols
> Description
> ZooKeeper servers detects the failure of other servers and clients by
> counting the number of 'ticks' for which it doesn't get a heartbeat from
> other machines. This is the 'timeout' method of failure detection and works
> very well; however it is possible that it is too aggressive and not easily
> tuned for some more unusual ZooKeeper installations (such as in a wide-area
> network, or even in a mobile ad-hoc network).
> This project would abstract the notion of failure detection to a dedicated
> Java module, and implement several failure detectors to compare and contrast
> their appropriateness for ZooKeeper. For example, Apache Cassandra uses a
> phi-accrual failure detector (http://ddsg.jaist.ac.jp/pub/HDY+04.pdf) which
> is much more tunable and has some very interesting properties. This is a
> great project if you are interested in distributed algorithms, or want to
> help re-factor some of ZooKeeper's internal code.
