Tuning HealthChecker to Allow for Interruptions
GC cycles do not affect a node's ability to respond to socket-connection requests, while network interruptions do. This difference can be used to tune HealthChecker to work more efficiently in a cluster where one or the other of these issues is more likely to occur:
*To favor detection of network interruptions, adjust the socketConnectCount down (since socket connections will fail). This will allow HealthChecker to disconnect a client sooner due to network issues.
*To favor detection of GC pauses, adjust the socketConnectCount up (since socket connections will succeed). This will allow clients to remain in the cluster longer when no network disconnection has occurred.
The ping interval increases the time before socket-connection attempts kick in to verify health of a remote node. The ping interval can be adjusted up or down to add more or less tolerance in either of the situations listed above.
