> From the mailing list:
> Hi guys,
> I'm looking at using Leader Latch and I noticed it only has polling
> mechanisms for figuring out if you are the leader. I was wondering if there
> is a reason to not have a callback mechanism that you can register with two
> methods:
> startBeingMaster();
> stopBeingMaster();
> Basically, any time setLeadership() is called with a value other than what it
> was, it would cause either startBeingMaster() to be called or
> stopBeingMaster() to be called.
> I can effect this using an extra thread and the polling mechanisms that are
> there, but am wondering if I'm the only one that would prefer to interact
> with it in this way or if others would also prefer to have access to this
> type of API?
> (Btw, for anyone wondering, I'm currently swapping out an old zookeeper
> client library for Curator and that's why I have all of these random
> questions about APIs and stuff)

> Look at LeaderSelector. It is a leader recipe that has a callback mechanism.

> Oh, that's the Leader Election recipe.
> I don't really like that abstraction either because it makes me worry about
> too much:
> 1) Losing connection, etc.
> 2) "Relinquishing" leadership
> I just want to either be the leader or not be the leader and have that choice
> be completely external. That is, I want something to tell me that I became
> the leader or that I lost leadership. I assume that I can always give up my
> leadership by just closing the thing down.
