Specifically, when you get a network partition, it *looks* to each node like the other one(s) have crashed. So if they then down each other, you have split-brain. That's the key issue: from the *outside*, it's usually impossible to tell the difference between a dead node and a network partition. If the node is dead, then sure, you want to down it. But if it's a network partition, you must *not* down it unless it has matching logic that causes it to deliberately crash *itself*. Without that, you're likely to get split-brain. I may be misunderstanding you, but keep in mind that all the infamous auto-down does is detect an Unreachable member, *wait* a few seconds, and then down it. It sounds like you're suggesting doing the same thing without the wait, but the results will be the same... -- >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: >>>>>>>>>> http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/additional/faq.html >>>>>>>>>> Search the archives: https://groups.google.com/group/akka-user --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Akka User List" group.
