[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-592?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Bela Ban commented on JGRP-592: ------------------------------- Actually, I take the above statement back :-) We can leave the basic tenet in place: the first element of the membership is always the coordinator ! We only make the way the *membership is computed* pluggable. This needs to be done in 2 places: * When the coordinator determines the new membership * When the coordinator is suspected and the next-in-line participant needs to determine whether it will become the new coordinator We also need to make the computation of the new MergeView in Merger.MergeTask.run() pluggable -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
