Konstantin Shvachko commented on HADOOP-10641:
----------------------------------------------
> there's not much expertise in Hadoop for the general problem of distributed
> consensus
I just want to make sure we are on the same page here. The intent of this jira
is not to solve the general problem of distributed consensus. That is, I do not
propose to build an implementation of paxos or other coordination algorithms
here. This is only to introduce a common interface, so that real
implementations such as ZooKeeper could be plugged into hadoop projects.

> Coordination Engine (CE) is a system, which allows to agree on a sequence of
> events in a distributed system. In order to be reliable CE should be
> distributed by itself.
> Coordination Engine can be based on different algorithms (paxos, raft, 2PC,
> zab) and have different implementations, depending on use cases, reliability,
> availability, and performance requirements.
> CE should have a common API, so that it could serve as a pluggable component
> in different projects. The immediate beneficiaries are HDFS (HDFS-6469) and
> HBase (HBASE-10909).
> First implementation is proposed to be based on ZooKeeper.
