What is Weighted Round Robin?
Special cases of the Weighted Round Robin Algorithm are:
- It is implemented as a Round Robin by default when a cluster is configured. All nodes have weight ‘1’.
- Setting the weight of a node to ‘0’ makes it a Hot Backup node. This node will not receive any request till all nodes in the cluster with non-zero weights have failed. Hot Backup node stops receiving requests when a weighted node rejoins the cluster.
