public class ShutdownHelper
extends Object
Provides support for maintaining information about an impending shutdown announcement either in an instance context
or in a group context. An instance of this object is consulted for distinguishing an abnormal failure from a planned
shutdown resulting in a failure notification from heart beat agents. Also consulted for determining if a member being
suspected has already announced shutdown or there is a group shutdown.
