------------------------------------
Summary: Consider making failure detector plugable with
incubator-gossip
Key: HAMA-998
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HAMA-998
Project: Hama
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Edward Capriolo
I have spoken with [~chl501] who worked on the failure detector in Hama
(https://github.com/apache/hama/tree/master/core/src/main/java/org/apache/hama/monitor/fd).
I am working on the Gossip podling: http://gossip.incubator.apache.org/. We
are wrapping up our first release. I am interested in evangelizing Gossip and I
believe the is a fit here.
I can see the FD code inside Hama has not been touched in a while. It is great
that the code is stable!
Hama could leverage apache-gossip. This would shrink the size and complexity of
the Hama codevbase. Also Hama would benefit from what will hopefully be more
frequent updates and features coming in incubator-gossip.
I understand that Hama is a large, established, complex project. I would like
to attempt to run Hama using incubator-gossip. I would make the choice a user
configuration until we establish that incubator-gossip is reliable for Hama and
the committers are comfortable.
I wanted to feel out the Hama community and see if this proposal is something
you are interested in before I dig into the specifcs
