There is an assumption to some level. We do trust the ipaddress (got via tcp connections assuming its difficult to forge) and we use Raw tcp (so no security in the transfer layer). We do have a authorization layer that is pluggable at the server and the clients can identify themselves using that. > c) I remember seeing one of Ben's ToDo, an entry for distributed > ZK.

Its still in discussions. We don't have a conrete proposal yet. For multi tenancy we don't need to consider it. mahadev > > Cheers & thanks > <k/> > > |-----Original Message----- > |From: Benjamin Patrick Hunt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > |Sent: Mon, 27 Oct 2008 20:35:37 -0700 > |To: zookeeper-user@hadoop.apache.org > |Subject: ZooKeeper Roadmap - 3.1.0 and beyond. > | > <..snip/> > 5) (begin) multi-tenancy support.
