Jay Zarfoss reassigned CURATOR-44:
----------------------------------
Assignee: Jay Zarfoss
> LeaderSelector does not assign leader randomly
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CURATOR-44
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CURATOR-44
> Project: Apache Curator
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Recipes
> Affects Versions: 2.0.1-incubating
> Reporter: Anders Wallgren
> Assignee: Jay Zarfoss
>
> The javadoc for LeaderSelector says leadership is assigned randomly but this
> does not appear to be the case.
> A fair mutex is used so it appears that leaders are selected in the order
> that they attempt to acquire the mutex.
> This probably wouldn't be much more than a documentation issue except that it
> tends to concentrate leaders on one node in the cluster when each node
> participates in more than one election (and assuming the node starts the
> LeaderSelectors right around the time the node comes up, which is the case in
> our usage).
