Hi.
I would like to be able to configure a service as master/slave in a partition.
The reason is that the master instance has a huge memory signature (1.5 gig), and I don't want to replicate it.
I have a smart way of serializing snapshots of the state and storing them in a database.
When the node fails, I want the Slave to be 'activated'.
Let's say that I have a class that implements the following interface:
public void setMasterNode();
public void setSlaveNode();
Limitations - only ONE node can be active in a partition.
setSlaveNode must be called immediately when the node that is currently Master has crashed.
Live long and prosper,
Yaron.
