Raghu S commented on ZOOKEEPER-107: ----------------------------------- Ben, I still believe the split brain won't occur: A. After (2), A and C have config verion X + 1, B and D are at X B. After A dies, a leader election is not possible without C. During LE, B and D discover that C is at X + 1. This will force B and D to update their configuration to X + 1 and restart the election. This is what I refer to when I say "reconciling configuration divergence" in my write up. D now leaves the cluster since it just learnt that it was deleted. C. A new quorum is formed with B and C. D. When A comes back, config version of A B and C are the same. A will simply join the leader. If A were still at X, then it will first update it's configuration to X + 1 when it starts an election and then restart the election. > Allow dynamic changes to server cluster membership > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-107 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-107 > Project: Zookeeper > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: server > Reporter: Patrick Hunt > Attachments: SimpleAddition.rtf > > > Currently cluster membership is statically defined, adding/removing hosts > to/from the server cluster dynamically needs to be supported. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
