Hey all, I was poking around a bit and realized the exponential weighted average makes convergence slow in some cases. I realized it made sense as an optimization to send a message before shutting down so that hosts will mark down the node faster regardless of what the FD thinks the node state is.
https://github.com/apache/incubator-gossip/pull/31 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GOSSIP-48 During the process I found an executor service that was not shut down and also realized shutting down was the majority of time for some of the tests. With all that in place the tests now run in 40 seconds down from 2:00- 2:30. If someone wants to give it a look over I am going to leave it 2-3 days before merge. This would be a good one to get some eyes on to poke logical holes in my theory (which I believe is right) :) Thanks, Edward
