# Witness Protocol Feature - Detailed Design Document

## 1. Overview

The SMB Witness Protocol enables rapid notification of resource changes in a clustered file server environment. It provides fast failover capabilities by allowing clients to register for notifications about server node availability, share movement, and other critical cluster events.

## 2. Protocol Specification Reference

- **MS-SWN**: Service Witness Protocol Specification

// less function for sorting.
func (m metaCacheEntries) less(i, j int) bool {
	return m[i].name < m[j].name
}

// sort entries by name.
// m is sorted and a sorted metadata object is returned.
// Changes to m will also be reflected in the returned object.
func (m metaCacheEntries) sort() metaCacheEntriesSorted {
	if m.isSorted() {
		return metaCacheEntriesSorted{o: m}
	}
	sort.Slice(m, m.less)

Then the cashier 💁 says "I'm finished with doing the burgers" by putting your number on the counter's display, but you don't jump like crazy immediately when the displayed number changes to your turn number. You know no one will steal your burgers because you have the number of your turn, and they have theirs.

     * to resolve SIDs using a cache and cache the results of any SIDs that
     * required resolving with the authority. SID cache entries are currently not
     * expired because under normal circumstances SID information never changes.

    impacts VM-wide behavior.

 *  New: Reduce contention for applications that make a very high number of concurrent requests.
    Previously OkHttp used its connection pool as a lock when making changes to connections and
    calls. With this change each connection is locked independently.

 *  Upgrade: [Okio 2.7.0][okio_2_7_0].
