Abstract:
A method for a client-initiated leader election in a distributed system including receiving a master listener election request by at least one listener of a plurality of listeners in the distributed system, arranging a list of configured listeners in a descending priority order, the list of configured listeners comprises one or more listeners of the plurality of listeners set for connection, selecting a listener with a highest priority from the list of configured listeners, determining an availability of the selected listener, verifying a connectivity to the selected listener using a ping utility program, assigning the selected listener as a master listener based on the connectivity, and connecting to the master listener.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer system for a client-initiated leader election in a distributed system, the computer system comprising:\n one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, wherein the computer system is capable of performing a method comprising: receiving a master listener election request by at least one listener of a plurality of listeners in the distributed system; based on no one listener in the plurality of listeners being designated as the master listener, arranging a list of configured listeners in a descending priority order to become the master listener, wherein a priority of each configured listener comprises a pre-configured priority capable of being changed over time, wherein the list of configured listeners comprises one or more listeners set for connection; selecting a listener with a highest priority from the list of configured listeners; determining an availability of the selected listener; verifying a connectivity to the selected listener by sending a test message to the selected listener using a ping utility program; designating the selected listener as a master listener based on the connectivity; sending a heartbeat message to each of the plurality of listeners in the distributed system to communicate the designation of the selected listener as the master listener; and connecting to the master listener, the master listener manages load balancing among all of the plurality of listeners, wherein communication is allowed only between the master listener and each listener of the plurality of listeners and not between listeners of the plurality of listeners to reduce collisions between listeners and network chatter.
