[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-2098) Discovery: reduce messages when IpAddressUUID is used

[Bela Ban (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-2098?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13297088#comment-13297088 ] 

Bela Ban commented on JGRP-2098:
--------------------------------

The downside of only coordinators responding to discovery requests is that initial startup of multiple members will inevitable lead to a merge: when A, B and C are started as first members of a cluster, none of them will respond to the others' discovery requests and thus we end up with 3 singleton clusters, which need to be merged into one.

If everybody replied, then everyone would see A, B and C as clients, and they would enact a quick-and-dirty coord election scheme; essentially sorting the list and picking the first to be coordinator.

> Since IpAddressUUID already contains the physical address, we don't need to exchange physical addresses in the discovery phase.
> Investigate whether this leads to reduced messaging in discovery, ie. only the coords might send a response. Once the new member has the view, it automatically knows the IP addresses and ports of all members, as the addresses in the view are of type IpAddressUUID.
> Also investigate whether address:logical_name associations should be done in a separate protocol, e.g. NAMING.
