When sending a multicast ping, there is no way to determine how long it will take before all nodes will respond. Currently we send two pings (one at start, one after half timeout) and wait until the ping timeout has passed for all responses to come back. However, if all nodes are fast to respond, there is a gap relatively large between the moment that pings were gathered and the election that is based on them. This commits adds a last ping round (at timeout) where we know the number of nodes we expect to receive answers from. Once all nodes responded, we complete the pinging.

Just curious about the protocol you are implementing, it seems that you want to have a reliable multicast ping. what is the purpose for this ping? |

@iopenstack the multicast based discovery is primarily for development (and ease of) use. It's not recommended for production for the exact reason you stated. That said, we test it and every once while (rare) we out test fail because of this gap. |
