Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-3834: --------------------------------------------- Could you clarify which class(es) 'locator' refers to here? Everything in o.a.c.locator looks pluggable already. > make locator pluggable/abstract > ------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-3834 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3834 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Core > Reporter: Peter Schuller > Assignee: Peter Schuller > > Make the locator pluggable, such that we can use something other than > gissip to discover ring topology. > This is in part for CASSANDRA-3833, but is also useful because we want > something simpler and more reliable than gossip on production > clusters. At minimum we must be able to hit our nodes with a clue bat > in emergencies ("no this node is NOT in state Normal damn it"), even if > we were to normally rely on gossip. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
