Hi Udo, For your question: "If you feel that the member timeout is too short for some members, why don't you increase the current member timeout?"
Yes, for some members I feel that member-timeout is short. I want to increase the timeout for some members. But that timeout is not being used to monitor themselves but instead the increased member timeout may be used to monitor some other member. If I want some member to be alive for a little more time even if it is not responding, Now I need to increase the timeout of all the members. Do you mean to increase the current member timeout for all the members.

If a some members are designated to do more work, and don't have time to respond to the cluster that they are alive using the current member timeout, then they are not available to accept data. Which means they are not effective members of the cluster and we cannot count on them to host data or replicates. This setting is there to safe guard the cluster against non-responsive members that cause the whole cluster to be unhealthy if left unchecked for too long. This can lead to potential data loss.... If you feel that the member timeout is too short for some members, why don't you increase the current member timeout? My opinion is a -1 for changing the current behavior. --Udo On 9/1/17 03:46, Aravind Musigumpula wrote: > Hi Brian, > > This will help if the user has some member doing a heavy duty when compared > to others, in this case we need to give such member some extra time to that > member. > > Thanks, > Aravind Musigumpula > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian Baynes [mailto:bbay...@pivotal.io] > Sent: Friday, September 01, 2017 4:39 AM > To: dev@geode.apache.org > Subject: Re: DISCUSS : Monitor the neighbour JVM using neihbour's > member-timeout (GEODE-3411) > > Hi, Aravind. > > Can you help me understand why this might be a useful feature for Geode?
