masters file only needed when using start-cluster.sh script?

[David Corley]

The HA documentation is a little confusing in that it suggests JM registration and discovery is done via Zookeeper, but it also recommends creating a static `masters` file listing all JMs.

The only use I can currently see for the masters file is by the `start-cluster.sh` script.

Thus, if we're not using that script, do we need the masters file at all?

Hi David,

You are right. If you don't use start-cluster.sh, the conf/masters file is not
needed.

Best,
Gary
