the email didn't seem to go through the first time.
Marc,
I read the bugzilla note on clustering.
the "herd", "shepard", "sheep" and "food" paradigms.
in my humble opinion the herd,shepard etc words makes the document extremely
hard to read.
because I kept forgetting what they all meant. "Animals hunting for land" is
not an intuitive language, :) (no harm intended)
This document is based on a component called the cluster manager (CM).
and it says in the docs that "if the CM dies, the cluster vanishes".
doesn't this create the same "single-point-of failure" that Gemstone had in
their server a couple of years ago?
It would be nicer if any server in the cluster could act as the cluster
manager, and if one server dies, another server can assume the same
responsibilities and carry the cluster from that point. When the original CM
comes up again, it should become secondary CM and be ready to take over the
CM responsibilities at any point.
Am I making any sense or is it all jibberish?
