Re: Ephermal node and notifications for stateless sessionsCamille Fournier 2012-05-08, 14:29
In what you're describing, your service creates ephemeral nodes on behalf
of its clients, and has to track the clients liveness. You're redoing a lot
of the logic ZK would handle for you if you had your clients talk directly
to ZK, but you can certainly reimplement that logic if you want. I think
this is a less-than-ideal system design but if you have a system where
stateful connections don't make sense it might be the best you can do.
I would recommend spending some time with the ZK documentation and a
highlighter, it sounds like you might want to design something fairly
complex and it's useful to really understand the system well before you
start on such a task.
