[jira] Commented: (ZOOKEEPER-107) Allow dynamic changes to server cluster membership

["Patrick Hunt (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-107?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12617955#action_12617955 ] 

Patrick Hunt commented on ZOOKEEPER-107:
----------------------------------------

Submitted to me by a user. This describes a change both for servers and for clients. Currently servers 
share a configuration file that statically defines the cluster members (servers). Additionally clients are statically 
configured with a list of accessible servers.

"Instead of every client
maintaining a list of zookeeper servers, the servers should maintain
that info (e.g in a special 'node') and handle updates via the
server-to-server protcol. Then the client just needs to know the
server:port of *one* zookeeper server (or a bunch of 'forwarding
zookeepers' for redundancy) that it talks to and the servers take it
from there. 

If one server gets added to the collective, the server-to-server
protocol should propagate it among all servers and all servers update
their maps. Same if a zookeeper server gets moved out of rotation, there
should be an internal protocol to handle this and have all servers
update their maps. "
