--------------------------------------
Hi Todd,
The question I had was how is the info znode creation prevented when the client
does not have the ephemeral lock znode? Is this ensured in the zk client or at
the zookeeper?
> Improve ActiveStandbyElector to provide hooks for fencing old active

> When a new node becomes active in an HA setup, it may sometimes have to take
> fencing actions against the node that was formerly active. This JIRA extends
> the ActiveStandbyElector which adds an extra non-ephemeral node into the ZK
> directory, which acts as a second copy of the active node's information.
> Then, if the active loses its ZK session, the next active to be elected may
> easily locate the unfenced node to take the appropriate actions.
