Distributed application orchestration management in a heterogeneous distributed computing environment

A computer system for distributed application orchestration management, the computer system comprising:

• a bus system;
• a storage device connected to the bus system, wherein the storage device stores program instructions;
• and
• a processor connected to the bus system, wherein the processor executes the program instructions to:
• send, by a first passive member of a set of passive members, a notification message to other members in a heterogeneous distributed computing environment indicating that the first passive member is initiating start of a distributed application on the first passive member in response to the first passive member validating that a self-restart by a leader member failed;
• compare, by the first passive member, timestamps associated with an attempt to start the distributed application by other passive members in the set of passive members;
• stop, by the first passive member, a particular attempt to start the distributed application in response to the first passive member determining that a timestamp associated with the particular attempt to start the distributed application by the first passive member is newer than another timestamp of another passive member;
• and
• designate, by the first passive member, the other passive member having an older timestamp as a new leader member to continue starting the distributed application for failover.

A computer program product for distributed application orchestration management, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method of:

• sending, by a first passive member of a set of passive members, a notification message to other members in a heterogeneous distributed computing environment indicating that the first passive member is initiating start of a distributed application on the first passive member in response to the first passive member validating that a self-restart by a leader member failed;
• comparing, by the first passive member, timestamps associated with an attempt to start the distributed application by other passive members in the set of passive members;
• stopping, by the first passive member, a particular attempt to start the distributed application in response to the first passive member determining that a timestamp associated with the particular attempt to start the distributed application by the first passive member is newer than another timestamp of another passive member;
• and
• designating, by the first passive member, the other passive member having an older timestamp as a new leader member to continue starting the distributed application for failover.
