Tungsten Manager Roadmap

The initial manager release provides a solid foundation for cluster management as well as efficient integration with the rest of Tungsten components.

• Broadcast RPC with failure handling
• Handler interface for implementing resource management
• Resource addressing model
• Total order message delivery to resource handlers
  
• Default handlers for JMX-enabled processes as well as operating system services
• Clean state model with simple manager start and stop
• Simple client APIs for issuing commands

We also plan additional features to make management logic easier to implement and invoke:

• Failure detection with automatic notifications to clients as well as resource handlers
• Quorum semantics to handle network partitions
• Automatic selection of "representative" for decisions that must be taken by a single resource handler in the group

Check the JIRA for details on each release.   You can also post in the forums or mailing lists if you have questions.
