An important challenge in distributed systems is the adoption of suitable and efficient algorithms for coordination selection.The leader election is important problem in distributed system as data is distributed among different node which is geographically separate.For maintaining co-ordination between the node, leader node have to be selected.The main role of an elected coordinator is to manage the use of shared resources in optimal manner.This paper represents the different election algorithms with their limitations as well comparative analysis of them, efficiency in terms of number of messages exchanged in each case and the complexity of various coordinator selection algorithms in distributed systems.
