Just pushed a new implementation of discovery called "zen". Its an implementation from the ground up for a high performance and optimize for elasticsearch discovery module. It allows for two main additional features, the first is the fact that a node can be configured to be a pure client (i.e. not turn into a master, ever), and much better support for cloud environments (once I implement it) - more on that soon. The issue is: [http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/issue/150](http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/issue/150) . Note, this is now the default discovery, and the jgroups discovery moved to be a plugin. cheers, shay.banon ---

Hi, that's interesting, will it be "zen" the preferred discovery module? Paolo Shay Banon wrote: > Just pushed a new implementation of discovery called "zen".

Yep, and it is already the default. cheers, shay.banon On Mon, Apr 26, 2010 at 9:03 AM, Paolo Castagna \< [castagna.lists@googlemail.com](mailto:castagna.lists@googlemail.com)\> wrote: > Hi, > that's interesting, will it be "zen" the preferred discovery module? > > Paolo > > Shay Banon wrote: > > > Just pushed a new implementation of discovery called "zen".
