Documentation

Overview

The sentinel package provides a convenient interface with a redis sentinel which will automatically handle pooling connections and automatic failover.

This package only gaurantees that when GetMaster is called the returned connection will be a connection to the master as of the moment that method is called. It is still possible that there is a failover as that connection is being used by the application, or before the PutMaster. Because of this, always check errors and never PutMaster on a connection which has returned an error.

As a final note, a Client can be interacted with from multiple routines at once safely, except for the Close method. To safely Close, ensure that only one routine ever makes the call and that once the call is made no other methods are ever called by any routines.

Functions

func NewClient

func NewClient(
	network, address string, poolSize int, names ...string,
) (
	*Client, *ClientError,
)

Creates a sentinel client. Connects to the given sentinel instance, pulls the information for the masters of the given names, and creates an intial pool of connections for each master. The client will automatically replace the pool for any master should sentinel decide to fail the master over.

Types

type Client

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

func (*Client) Close

func (c *Client) Close()

Closes all connection pools as well as the connection to sentinel.

func (*Client) GetMaster

func (c *Client) GetMaster(name string) (*redis.Client, *ClientError)

Retrieves a connection for the master of the given name. If sentinel has become unreachable this will always return an error. Close should be called in that case

func (*Client) PutMaster

func (c *Client) PutMaster(name string, client *redis.Client)

Return a connection for a master of a given name. As with the pool package, do not return a connection which is having connectivity issues, or which is otherwise unable to perform requests.

type ClientError

type ClientError struct {

	// If this is true the error is due to a problem with the sentinel
	// connection, either it being closed or otherwise unavailable. If false the
	// error is due to some other circumstances. This is useful if you want to
	// implement some kind of reconnecting to sentinel on an error.
	SentinelErr bool
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

An error wrapper returned by operations in this package. It implements the error interface and can therefore be passed around as a normal error.

func (*ClientError) Error

func (ce *ClientError) Error() string
