Re: [hibernate-dev] [infinispan-dev] Election of Hibernate Search "master" indexer on top of Infinispan

Hello, from what I recall of latest updates about the creation of an Infinispan-backed Hibernate Search DirectoryProvider to store Lucene's indexes, you're going to focus on having one "Master" indexer which will take care of all the writing to the index. So Infinispan will take care of safely replicating the index to slave nodes, but IMHO we should also consider the way the "Master" is being selected; from my understanding the master node has to be configured differently, this is not going to make it safer and is a pain to manage in a cloud environment. AFAIK the JBoss Cache has some code to "elect" a master node for buddy replication, would it be possible to expose the same logic in Infinispan's API to make sure to auto-discover and auto-elect the "Hibernate Search Master Node" ? Something like "whoever is the owner of this marker token is the master"? Would that make sense?
