[ANN] Leader Election library using Zookeeper

[Rich Youngkin]

Hi all,

go-leaderelection (https://github.com/Comcast/go-leaderelection) provides the capability for a set of distributed processes to compete for leadership for a shared resource. It is implemented using Zookeeper for the underlying support. It provides a simple, asynchronous, interface. goroutines or processes can create an election, compete for becoming the leader for a resource, asynchronously wait to become a resource, resign leadership, and delete an election resource.

Of note is the project's dependence on go-zookeeper (https://github.com/samuel/go-zookeeper) and goint (https://github.com/Comcast/goint). This, along with other usage information, is covered in the README.

As this is my first golang project I'd appreciate feedback, improvements, bug reports, etc.

Cheers,

Rich
