Re: [ecf-dev] etcd-provider - service keys to register service for discovery

Can I use something from the framework, the endpoint-id or something like that, or would I need to invent my own service configuration property?

Unfortunately this is exactly what happens with the Raspberry Pi gateways on site. The guys power up the pi at the morning and at the evening they just kill the power to shut it down. The effect is that the keys will stay in etcd for ever. Since the keys are generated randomly for every session this leads to duplicates of services in etcd.

Yeah, I imagine that you could publish/advertise a service with a 
consistent key.   I can't remember if this will require any changes to 
the etcd provider (e.g. to allow the key to be explicitly set), but if so I could probably arrange to at least help with the changes.
