OK.... so it sounds from the group that there are still reasons to provide rope in ZK to enable algorithms like leader election. Couldn't ZK ship higher level interfaces for leader election, mutexes, semapores, queues, barriers, etc instead of pushing this on developers?
Then the remaining APIs, configuration, event notification, and discovery, can be used on a simpler, rope free API. The rope is what's killing me now :) Kevin -- Founder/CEO Spinn3r.com Location: San Francisco, CA AIM/YIM: sfburtonator Skype: burtonator Work: http://spinn3r.com
