Non blocking coordinator means that Change of coordination can be happen while other activities take place.
I think the NonBlocking coordinator builds on the absolute order algorithm for selecting a coordinator. The absolute order is a stateless ranking system in tribes that let's you order members with no chat/messages exchanged. So, the answer to your question would be no, cause if a member joins with a higher rank, it becomes coordinator. Now, what you could do is change the criteria for the absolute order stuff, instead of ranking it based on IP (IIRC) then rank on how long a member has been alive. This way, the member with the largest uptime will always be coordinator. Of course, instead of using uptime, use starttime, so you don't use a value that changes with every membership message Best Filip > > Thanks > Azeez > > On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 11:26 AM, Afkham Azeez <afk...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Thanks for the pointers Filip.
