Variables

var ErrCompacted = errors.New("entry compacted")

ErrCompacted is the error returned to indicate that the requested entries are no longer in the LogDB due to compaction.

var ErrSnapshotOutOfDate = errors.New("snapshot out of date")

ErrSnapshotOutOfDate is the error returned to indicate that the concerned snapshot is considered as out of date.

var ErrUnavailable = errors.New("entry unavailable")

ErrUnavailable is the error returned to indicate that requested entries are not available in LogDB.

Functions

func ClusterID

func ClusterID(clusterID uint64) string

ClusterID returns a human friendly form of ClusterID for logging purposes.

func IsLocalMessageType

func IsLocalMessageType(t pb.MessageType) bool

IsLocalMessageType returns a boolean value indicating whether the specified message type is a local message type.

func NodeID

func NodeID(nodeID uint64) string

NodeID returns a human friendly form of NodeID for logging purposes.

Types

type ILogDB

type ILogDB interface {
	// GetRange returns the range of the entries in LogDB.
	GetRange() (uint64, uint64)
	// SetRange updates the ILogDB to extend the entry range known to the ILogDB.
	SetRange(index uint64, length uint64)
	// NodeState returns the state of the node persistented in LogDB.
	NodeState() (pb.State, pb.Membership)
	// SetState sets the persistent state known to ILogDB.
	SetState(ps pb.State)
	// CreateSnapshot sets the snapshot known to ILogDB
	CreateSnapshot(ss pb.Snapshot) error
	// ApplySnapshot makes the sbapshot known to ILogDB and also update the entry
	// range known to ILogDB.
	ApplySnapshot(ss pb.Snapshot) error
	// Term returns the entry term of the specified entry.
	Term(index uint64) (uint64, error)
	// Entries returns entries between [low, high) with total size of entries
	// limited to maxSize bytes.
	Entries(low uint64, high uint64, maxSize uint64) ([]pb.Entry, error)
	// Snapshot returns the metadata for the most recent snapshot known to the
	// LogDB.
	Snapshot() pb.Snapshot
	// Compact performs entry range compaction on ILogDB up to the entry
	// specified by index.
	Compact(index uint64) error
	// Append makes the given entries known to the ILogDB instance. This is
	// usually not how entries are persisted.
	Append(entries []pb.Entry) error
}

ILogDB is a read-only interface to the underlying persistent storage to allow the raft package to access raft state, entries, snapshots stored in the persistent storage. Entries stored in the persistent storage accessible via ILogDB is usually not required in normal cases.

type Peer

type Peer struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Peer is the interface struct for interacting with the underlying Raft protocol implementation.

func LaunchPeer

func LaunchPeer(config *config.Config, logdb ILogDB,
	addresses []PeerAddress, initial bool, newNode bool) (*Peer, error)

LaunchPeer starts or restarts a Raft node.

func (*Peer) ApplyConfigChange

func (rc *Peer) ApplyConfigChange(cc pb.ConfigChange)

ApplyConfigChange applies a raft membership change to the local raft node.

func (*Peer) Commit

func (rc *Peer) Commit(ud pb.Update)

Commit commits the Update state to mark it as processed.

func (*Peer) DumpRaftInfoToLog

func (rc *Peer) DumpRaftInfoToLog(addrMap map[uint64]string)

DumpRaftInfoToLog prints the raft state to log for debugging purposes.

func (*Peer) GetLeaderID

func (rc *Peer) GetLeaderID() uint64

GetLeaderID returns the leader id.

func (*Peer) GetUpdate

func (rc *Peer) GetUpdate(moreEntriesToApply bool) pb.Update

GetUpdate returns the current state of the Peer.

func (*Peer) Handle

func (rc *Peer) Handle(m pb.Message)

Handle processes the given message.

func (*Peer) HasUpdate
