Add an explanation for the "Phi accrual failure detector". #528

Closed fujimotos closed 6 years ago

fujimotos commented 6 years ago

This feature is indeed a quite old beast. It had been introduced in v0.10.4 (released in 2011) and is being enabled by default in 2018. Still, there are no proper documentation on how this feature works and (especially) what the threshold variable φ means.

This patch is my attempt to add a general explanation for this failure detection feature.
