一、需求
在主从结构的集群中，我们假设硬件机器是很脆弱的，随时可能会宕机，当master挂掉之后需要从slave中选出一个节点作为新的master，使用zookeeper可以很简单的实现集群选主功能。
二、分析
下面为了方便叙述，将使用更通用的技术术语，即使用leader表示master，使用follower表示slave。
集群选主涉及到两个问题：
1. 谁来做leader
2. leader挂掉了怎么被follower感知到
首先是第一个问题，谁来做leader，其实可以将这个问题看做是多线程中的互斥锁抢占，锁只有一把，并且只能被一个人抢到，这里就把一个zookeeper上的一个节点/leader-info看做是锁，集群中的每台机器都尝试去创建这个节点（抢占锁），因为zookeeper创建节点是原子性操作，所以只有一台机器能够创建成功其它都会失败，创建成功的那台机器就作为leader，其它机器做follower，一般leader抢占成功了之后会在/leader-info节点上存储一些与自己相关的信息，比如hostname、id之类的，以让follower知道谁抢占成功成为了leader，然后去连接leader进行一些数据交换或指令控制之类的，那就是选主之后的事了不在此篇文章的讨论范围之内。
第二个问题是leader挂掉了怎么通知其它的follower，zookeeper中的节点按照有效时间分为持久节点和临时节点，临时节点跟session绑定，而一个session表示一个客户端，当客户端下线的时候session失效，当session失效的时候跟它绑定的临时节点就会被删除，利用这个特性可以检测节点是否还在存活状态，实现follower对leader下线的感知，只是需要注意在创建/leader-info节点的时候要将其创建为临时节点，然后众多follower都在这个节点上添加一个watcher监听其删除事件，这样当leader挂掉的时候session失效，然后与此session绑定的临时节点会被删除，即/leader-info节点将被删除，同时给所有的follower发送事件通知，follower一看leader挂了就燥起来了，将自己的状态置为looking，开始新一轮的选举。
总结一下选主的流程：
1. 集群中的所有机器将自己置为looking状态，准备开始选举。
2. 所有looking状态的机器尝试去创建/leader-info节点。
3. 创建成功的将自己的状态修改为leader，同时将自己的一些信息写入到/leader-info这个节点上。
4. 创建失败的将自己的状态置为follower，同时尝试从/leader-info获取leader信息进行一些leader改变的逻辑（在这里这个不是重点，打印一下即可），follower在获取/leader-info节点数据的同时要设置一个watcher，监听此节点的删除事件，当节点被删除事件触发时启动新一轮的选举，因为获取数据设置watcher这个操作是原子性的，所以要么这个节点存在获取数据成功，并且设置watcher也成功，要么节点不存在抛出KeeperException.NoNodeException异常。
5. 为什么在follower设置watcher的时候还有可能会抛异常呢，leader不是已经创建了这个节点了吗？因为follower从尝试创建/leader-info节点失败到去获取此节点的数据同时设置watcher这一段操作不是原子性的，在这中间可能会发生一些变故，leader可能刚成为leader就挂掉了（或者因为一些网络抖动原因，总之是session失效了），leader挂掉之后它创建的临时节点就被zookeeper删除了，所以当follower在设置watcher的时候如果检测到KeeperException.NoNodeException，说明之前的leader挂掉了，此时集群中已经没有了leader，follower又燥起来了，它将自己的状态置为looking开始新一轮的选举。
三、实现
Node.java：
package cc11001100.zookeeper.leaderElection;
import cc11001100.zookeeper.utils.ZooKeeperUtil;
import org.apache.zookeeper.CreateMode;
import org.apache.zookeeper.KeeperException;
import org.apache.zookeeper.Watcher;
import org.apache.zookeeper.ZooDefs;
import org.apache.zookeeper.ZooKeeper;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
/**

*
* @author CC11001100
*/
public class Node {
private Status status;
private String nodeForLeaderInfo;
private ZooKeeper zooKeeper;
public Node(String listenerNodeForLeader) throws IOException {
this.nodeForLeaderInfo = listenerNodeForLeader;
this.zooKeeper = ZooKeeperUtil.getZooKeeper();
lookingForLeader();
}
public void lookingForLeader() {
status = Status.LOOKING;
try {
String leaderInfo = Thread.currentThread().getName();
// 需要注意这里创建的是临时节点
zooKeeper.create(nodeForLeaderInfo, leaderInfo.getBytes(), ZooDefs.Ids.OPEN_ACL_UNSAFE, CreateMode.EPHEMERAL);
// 如果上一步没有抛异常，说明自己已经是leader了
status = Status.LEADER;
String logMsg = Thread.currentThread().getName() + " is leader";
System.out.println(logMsg);
} catch (KeeperException.NodeExistsException e) {
// 节点已经存在，说明leader已经被别人注册成功了，自己是follower
status = Status.FOLLOWER;
try {
byte[] leaderInfoBytes = zooKeeper.getData(nodeForLeaderInfo, event -> {
if (event.getType() == Watcher.Event.EventType.NodeDeleted) {
lookingForLeader();
}
}, null);
String logMsg = Thread.currentThread().getName() + " is follower, master is " + new String(leaderInfoBytes, "UTF-8");
System.out.println(logMsg);
} catch (KeeperException.NoNodeException e1) {
// 如果在获取leader信息的时候报了节点不存在，说明这个leader比较短命，刚抢到leader就又挂掉了
lookingForLeader();
} catch (KeeperException | InterruptedException | UnsupportedEncodingException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
} catch (KeeperException | InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void shutdown() {
try {
if (zooKeeper != null) {
zooKeeper.close();
}
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public Status getStatus() {
return status;
}
// 当前节点的状态，节点的状态必须在这三个中的一个
public enum Status {
LOOKING, // 选举中
LEADER, // 选举完毕，当前节点为leader
FOLLOWER; // 选举完毕，当前节点为follower
}
}
LeaderElectionTest.java：

public class LeaderElectionTest {
private static void sleep(long mils) {

} catch (InterruptedException e) {

}
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
final String LEADER_INFO_NODE = "/leader-info";
int nodeNum = 10;
AtomicLong idGenerator = new AtomicLong();
AtomicInteger activeNodeCount = new AtomicInteger();
while (true) {
if (activeNodeCount.get() >= nodeNum) {
sleep(10);
continue;
}
// 线程启动需要一定时间，将线程启动看做开机过程，在开机之前就算一台新的机器加入了
activeNodeCount.incrementAndGet();
new Thread(() -> {
try {
Node node = new Node(LEADER_INFO_NODE);
while (true) {
sleep(1000);
// 这里为了试验就让leader有轻微自杀倾向...
if (node.getStatus() == Node.Status.LEADER && Math.random() < 0.3) {
String logMsg = "----------------------------- " + Thread.currentThread().getName() + " shutdown -----------------------------";
System.out.println(logMsg);
node.shutdown();
break;
}
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
activeNodeCount.decrementAndGet();
}
}, "node-" + idGenerator.getAndIncrement()).start();
}
}
}

最后有个需要注意的地方就是是否需要将leader节点设置为顺序临时节点呢？类似于分布式锁那样，这样的话每次唤醒一个节点就可以了，这看上去像是一个可以优化的点。
其实并不是，当leader挂掉的时候必须所有follower都能够感知到leader的变更，即使他们不参与抢主也必须醒来执行leader变更的逻辑。
