[jira] Updated: (ZOOKEEPER-702) GSoC 2010: Failure Detector Model
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-702?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Abmar Barros updated ZOOKEEPER-702:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: ZOOKEEPER-702.patch
Hi Flavio, Thanks for the comments. In this patch I have removed the normal distribution option for the PhiAccrual, and also the math-commons dependency in the ivy.xml file. With this modification, the PhiTimeoutEvaluator (and its implementations) are no longer needed.
I also have refactored some of the common code regarding the ping sampling window. This made the code of the adaptive FDs clearer.
Regarding my last experiments, I will post the results on the wiki asap.

> Description
> ZooKeeper servers detects the failure of other servers and clients by counting the number of 'ticks' for which it doesn't get a heartbeat from other machines. This is the 'timeout' method of failure detection and works very well; however it is possible that it is too aggressive and not easily tuned for some more unusual ZooKeeper installations (such as in a wide-area network, or even in a mobile ad-hoc network).
> This project would abstract the notion of failure detection to a dedicated Java module, and implement several failure detectors to compare and contrast their appropriateness for ZooKeeper. For example, Apache Cassandra uses a phi-accrual failure detector (http://ddsg.jaist.ac.jp/pub/HDY+04.pdf) which is much more tunable and has some very interesting properties. This is a great project if you are interested in distributed algorithms, or want to help re-factor some of ZooKeeper's internal code.
