[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-1557) SUPERVISOR: protocol to check conditions and perform corrective actions if needed

Bela Ban created JGRP-1557: ------------------------------ Summary: SUPERVISOR: protocol to check conditions and perform corrective actions if needed Key: JGRP-1557 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1557 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Bela Ban Assignee: Bela Ban Fix For: 3.3 SUPERVISOR is a protocol anywhere in the stack that passes messages up and down by default; it doesn't take part in message processing. However, it handles events ADD_ASSERTION / REMOVE_ASSERTION, which adds/removes assertions. An assertion is a condition with a name, an interval and an (optional) action. Both conditions and actions can be Runnables, but this needs to be defined later. When the interval for a condition has elapsed, it is triggered and (if true) it'll invoke the associated action. A condition can be triggered by an interval elapsed or perhaps also when a event is received (e.g. a view change). Example: - Condition: check if FD is present in the stack. If it is and fd.isMonitorRunning() == false and fd.getView().size() > 1, then call action fd.startFailureDetection() and log an error message. The error messages are stored in a bounded list, so the last N error messages can be retrieved, e.g. via probe.sh. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
