Membership failure and detection
This component is responsible for maintaining the membership information of the node for
a certain cluster. It also keeps track of any new node addition or removal and manages the
key range accordingly.
All membership-related information, such as key hash ranges of peers and seed nodes, is
maintained by this service. This is a very crucial component from the distributed system
coordination point of view. We have already seen the details of ring membership and fail-
ure handling in previous sections.
