Roman Shtykh commented on IGNITE-1204:
--------------------------------------

Writing tests might be not easy since Consul is written in Go and there's nothing like TestingCluster in Curator.

> According to [their website|https://www.consul.io/]:
> {quote}
> * Consul makes it simple for services to register themselves and to discover other services via a DNS or HTTP interface.
> * Pairing service discovery with health checking prevents routing requests to unhealthy hosts and enables services to easily provide circuit breakers.
> * Consul scales to multiple datacenters out of the box with no complicated configuration. Look up services in other datacenters, or keep the request local.
> * Flexible key/value store for dynamic configuration, feature flagging, coordination, leader election and more. Long poll for near-instant notification of configuration changes.
> {quote}
> It would be nice to provide cluster discovery via Consul.
> Consul itself is MPL v2 licensed. According to [this ASF reference|https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-b], this is a Category B license meaning that it's not viral by nature but it requires some degree of reciprocity. We don't really care much about this, because we won't be packaging Consul obviously.
> Moreover, there's a [client on GitHub|https://github.com/Ecwid/consul-api] that's ASLv2. Worse comes to worst, we could just invoke the HTTP API directly with no dependencies.
