More than one QuorumPeer start leader election

[Wang Yang <zj...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm reading the source code of zk these days. And first, can I ask
some question about source code in this mail list?

And my question seems foolish:
I find there can be more than one QuorumPeer start leader election. Am
I right? And the Fast Paxos can ensure the election correct under this
situation, is it right?

Thanks!

Hi Lory_yang, Thanks for asking questions. As I understand your question, you're asking about leader election, which we call FLE (Fast Leader Election). The idea is to select one server out of a pool of available servers. Each server (or peer) will have a QuorumPeer started, so it does allow multiple QuorumPeer instances started. In fact, without a quorum of peers, election won't terminate.
