some question about how seaweedfs work

[min wu]

i plan to put weedfs to production ..,i read the docs, setup 3 master  and 3 volume server on my test server.

weedfs verion is weed_0.70beta

i have few question 

1.i fond every master can serve request like lead master,is the master member server can independently handle request or just simply relay the request to leader server.?

2.i don't clearly understand the replication setting about the terms "rack" and "server", is the "rack" mean a machine who running   weed volume process ,and the "server" just is a  weed volume process  ,if i want every file in a machine have a copy ,so i set the rack=1 , if i want the specific volume server have copy i set the server=1, am i right?

3. what will happen if i started the volume server with -mserver leaderserver:9333 ,then i kill the leadserver process ,and i don't start the killed lead server ?  the volume server will still tring to connect to the dead server ? if the volume server will automaticly reconnect to the new leader ,for how long ? i can control the retry  or re-check time ?

4.does anyone have some experience with this project running in production .

1. simple relay

2. usually many servers or machines are put together on a rack.

3. if you have just one master, the volume server will keep trying to connect to the dead master. if you have 3 or 5 masters, the volume server will try to connect to the rest of servers.
