public class FollowersChecker
extends java.lang.Object
The FollowersChecker is responsible for allowing a leader to check that its followers are still connected and healthy. On deciding that a follower has failed the leader will remove it from the cluster. We are fairly lenient, possibly allowing multiple checks to fail before considering a follower to be faulty, to allow for a brief network partition or a long GC cycle to occur without triggering the removal of a node and the consequent shard reallocation.
