    Description

      When we have

      {C, A, B}

      and split into

      {C,A}

      and

      {B}

      , then a merge will produce

      {A,B,C}

      . Therefore the coord is moved from C to A. For certain apps, e.g. JBoss singletons, this is not good, as we're moving the singleton services from a perfectly healthy node to a different node.
      GOAL: come up with a deterministic policy of picking a coord such that we minimize coord switching if the existing coord is still member of the cluster.
      This depends on or is related to the flexible coord pick policy JIRA issue

          • Minor - To be worked after urgent, high, and medium priorities are resolved. This term is chosen when the severity of the issue is low, or the complexity or effort to correct it may be higher, relatively speaking. For low priority issues, known workarounds exist or are not needed due to the trivial effort needed to address the issue.
