[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JGRP-592) Pluggable policy for picking coordinator

[P Eger (JIRA)]

P Eger commented on JGRP-592:
-----------------------------

This would be useful from an operational perspective, for instance if the coordinator is designated to do some additional work, a pluggable policy will allow to know (predictably) what server is doing this work at any given time. Could be used to choose the "beefiest" server, for example.

> Make policy to pick coordinator pluggable. Pick new coordinator after existing coordinator crashes by calling this policy.
> Default policy is to pick the next in line.
> Other policies could pick the next in line from a set of pinned coordinator, so certain members can never become coordinators.
