raft Build Status

raft is a Go library that manages a replicated log and can be used with an FSM to manage replicated state machines. It is a library for providing consensus.

The use cases for such a library are far-reaching as replicated state machines are a key component of many distributed systems. They enable building Consistent, Partition Tolerant (CP) systems, with limited fault tolerance as well.

Building

If you wish to build raft you'll need Go version 1.2+ installed.

Please check your installation with:

go version

Documentation

For complete documentation, see the associated Godoc.

To prevent complications with cgo, the primary backend MDBStore is in a separate repository, called raft-mdb. That is the recommended implementation for the LogStore and StableStore.

A pure Go backend using BoltDB is also available called raft-boltdb. It can also be used as a LogStore and StableStore.

Tagged Releases

As of September 2017, Hashicorp will start using tags for this library to clearly indicate major version updates. We recommend you vendor your application's dependency on this library.

  • v0.1.0 is the original stable version of the library that was in master and has been maintained with no breaking API changes. This was in use by Consul prior to version 0.7.0.

  • v1.0.0 takes the changes that were staged in the library-v2-stage-one branch. This version manages server identities using a UUID, so introduces some breaking API changes. It also versions the Raft protocol, and requires some special steps when interoperating with Raft servers running older versions of the library (see the detailed comment in config.go about version compatibility). You can reference https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/pull/2222 for an idea of what was required to port Consul to these new interfaces.

    This version includes some new features as well, including non voting servers, a new address provider abstraction in the transport layer, and more resilient snapshots.

Protocol

raft is based on "Raft: In Search of an Understandable Consensus Algorithm"

A high level overview of the Raft protocol is described below, but for details please read the full Raft paper followed by the raft source. Any questions about the raft protocol should be sent to the raft-dev mailing list.

Protocol Description

Raft nodes are always in one of three states: follower, candidate or leader. All nodes initially start out as a follower. In this state, nodes can accept log entries from a leader and cast votes. If no entries are received for some time, nodes self-promote to the candidate state. In the candidate state nodes request votes from their peers. If a candidate receives a quorum of votes, then it is promoted to a leader. The leader must accept new log entries and replicate to all the other followers. In addition, if stale reads are not acceptable, all queries must also be performed on the leader.

Once a cluster has a leader, it is able to accept new log entries. A client can request that a leader append a new log entry, which is an opaque binary blob to Raft. The leader then writes the entry to durable storage and attempts to replicate to a quorum of followers. Once the log entry is considered committed, it can be applied to a finite state machine. The finite state machine is application specific, and is implemented using an interface.

An obvious question relates to the unbounded nature of a replicated log. Raft provides a mechanism by which the current state is snapshotted, and the log is compacted. Because of the FSM abstraction, restoring the state of the FSM must result in the same state as a replay of old logs. This allows Raft to capture the FSM state at a point in time, and then remove all the logs that were used to reach that state. This is performed automatically without user intervention, and prevents unbounded disk usage as well as minimizing time spent replaying logs.

Lastly, there is the issue of updating the peer set when new servers are joining or existing servers are leaving. As long as a quorum of nodes is available, this is not an issue as Raft provides mechanisms to dynamically update the peer set. If a quorum of nodes is unavailable, then this becomes a very challenging issue. For example, suppose there are only 2 peers, A and B. The quorum size is also 2, meaning both nodes must agree to commit a log entry. If either A or B fails, it is now impossible to reach quorum. This means the cluster is unable to add, or remove a node, or commit any additional log entries. This results in unavailability. At this point, manual intervention would be required to remove either A or B, and to restart the remaining node in bootstrap mode.

A Raft cluster of 3 nodes can tolerate a single node failure, while a cluster of 5 can tolerate 2 node failures. The recommended configuration is to either run 3 or 5 raft servers. This maximizes availability without greatly sacrificing performance.

In terms of performance, Raft is comparable to Paxos. Assuming stable leadership, committing a log entry requires a single round trip to half of the cluster. Thus performance is bound by disk I/O and network latency.

Functions

func BootstrapCluster 

func BootstrapCluster(conf *Config, logs LogStore, stable StableStore,
	snaps SnapshotStore, trans Transport, configuration Configuration) error

BootstrapCluster initializes a server's storage with the given cluster configuration. This should only be called at the beginning of time for the cluster, and you absolutely must make sure that you call it with the same configuration on all the Voter servers. There is no need to bootstrap Nonvoter and Staging servers.

One sane approach is to boostrap a single server with a configuration listing just itself as a Voter, then invoke AddVoter() on it to add other servers to the cluster.

func HasExistingState 

func HasExistingState(logs LogStore, stable StableStore, snaps SnapshotStore) (bool, error)

HasExistingState returns true if the server has any existing state (logs, knowledge of a current term, or any snapshots).

func NewInmemTransport 

func NewInmemTransport(addr ServerAddress) (ServerAddress, *InmemTransport)

NewInmemTransport is used to initialize a new transport and generates a random local address if none is specified

func RecoverCluster 

func RecoverCluster(conf *Config, fsm FSM, logs LogStore, stable StableStore,
	snaps SnapshotStore, trans Transport, configuration Configuration) error

RecoverCluster is used to manually force a new configuration in order to recover from a loss of quorum where the current configuration cannot be restored, such as when several servers die at the same time. This works by reading all the current state for this server, creating a snapshot with the supplied configuration, and then truncating the Raft log. This is the only safe way to force a given configuration without actually altering the log to insert any new entries, which could cause conflicts with other servers with different state.

WARNING! This operation implicitly commits all entries in the Raft log, so in general this is an extremely unsafe operation. If you've lost your other servers and are performing a manual recovery, then you've also lost the commit information, so this is likely the best you can do, but you should be aware that calling this can cause Raft log entries that were in the process of being replicated but not yet be committed to be committed.

Note the FSM passed here is used for the snapshot operations and will be left in a state that should not be used by the application. Be sure to discard this FSM and any associated state and provide a fresh one when calling NewRaft later.

A typical way to recover the cluster is to shut down all servers and then run RecoverCluster on every server using an identical configuration. When the cluster is then restarted, and election should occur and then Raft will resume normal operation. If it's desired to make a particular server the leader, this can be used to inject a new configuration with that server as the sole voter, and then join up other new clean-state peer servers using the usual APIs in order to bring the cluster back into a known state.

func ValidateConfig

ReadConfigJSON reads a new-style peers.json and returns a configuration structure. This can be used to perform manual recovery when running protocol versions that use server IDs.

func ReadPeersJSON 

func ReadPeersJSON(path string) (Configuration, error)

ReadPeersJSON consumes a legacy peers.json file in the format of the old JSON peer store and creates a new-style configuration structure. This can be used to migrate this data or perform manual recovery when running protocol versions that can interoperate with older, unversioned Raft servers. This should not be used once server IDs are in use, because the old peers.json file didn't have support for these, nor non-voter suffrage types.

	// the FSM should be implemented in a fashion that allows for concurrent
	// updates while a snapshot is happening.

type LogCache 

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

LogCache wraps any LogStore implementation to provide an in-memory ring buffer. This is used to cache access to the recently written entries. For implementations that do not cache themselves, this can provide a substantial boost by avoiding disk I/O on recent entries.

	// older protocol versions designed to be compatible with unversioned
	// Raft servers. See comments in config.go for details.
	LogAddPeerDeprecated

	// LogRemovePeer is used to remove an existing peer. This should only be
	// used with older protocol versions designed to be compatible with
	// unversioned Raft servers. See comments in config.go for details.
	LogRemovePeerDeprecated

	// LogBarrier is used to ensure all preceding operations have been
	// applied to the FSM. It is similar to LogNoop, but instead of returning
	// once committed, it only returns once the FSM manager acks it. Otherwise
	// it is possible there are operations committed but not yet applied to
	// the FSM.
	LogBarrier

	// LogConfiguration establishes a membership change configuration. It is
	// created when a server is added, removed, promoted, etc. Only used
	// when protocol version 1 or greater is in use.
	LogConfiguration
)

type LoopbackTransport 

type LoopbackTransport interface {
	Transport // Embedded transport reference
	WithPeers // Embedded peer management
	WithClose // with a close routine
}

LoopbackTransport is an interface that provides a loopback transport suitable for testing e.g. InmemTransport. It's there so we don't have to rewrite tests.

type NetworkTransport 

type NetworkTransport struct {
	TimeoutScale int
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

NetworkTransport provides a network based transport that can be used to communicate with Raft on remote machines. It requires an underlying stream layer to provide a stream abstraction, which can be simple TCP, TLS, etc.

This transport is very simple and lightweight. Each RPC request is framed by sending a byte that indicates the message type, followed by the MsgPack encoded request.

The response is an error string followed by the response object, both are encoded using MsgPack.

InstallSnapshot is special, in that after the RPC request we stream the entire state. That socket is not re-used as the connection state is not known if there is an error.

func NewNetworkTransport(
	stream StreamLayer,
	maxPool int,
	timeout time.Duration,
	logOutput io.Writer,
) *NetworkTransport

NewNetworkTransport creates a new network transport with the given dialer and listener. The maxPool controls how many connections we will pool. The timeout is used to apply I/O deadlines. For InstallSnapshot, we multiply the timeout by (SnapshotSize / TimeoutScale).

	Data interface{}
}

}

Observer describes what to do with a given observation.

func NewObserver 

func NewObserver(channel chan Observation, blocking bool, filter FilterFn) *Observer

NewObserver creates a new observer that can be registered to make observations on a Raft instance. Observations will be sent on the given channel if they satisfy the given filter.

If blocking is true, the observer will block when it can't send on the channel, otherwise it may discard events.

func (*Observer) GetNumDropped 

func (or *Observer) GetNumDropped() uint64

GetNumDropped returns the number of dropped observations due to blocking.

func (*Observer) GetNumObserved 

func (or *Observer) GetNumObserved() uint64

GetNumObserved returns the number of observations.

type ProtocolVersion 

type ProtocolVersion int

These are the versions of the protocol (which includes RPC messages as well as Raft-specific log entries) that this server can _understand_. Use the ProtocolVersion member of the Config object to control the version of the protocol to use when _speaking_ to other servers. Note that depending on the protocol version being spoken, some otherwise understood RPC messages may be refused. See dispositionRPC for details of this logic.

There are notes about the upgrade path in the description of the versions below. If you are starting a fresh cluster then there's no reason not to jump right to the latest protocol version. If you need to interoperate with older, version 0 Raft servers you'll need to drive the cluster through the different versions in order.

The version details are complicated, but here's a summary of what's required to get from a version 0 cluster to version 3:

  1. In version N of your app that starts using the new Raft library with versioning, set ProtocolVersion to 1.
  2. Make version N+1 of your app require version N as a prerequisite (all servers must be upgraded). For version N+1 of your app set ProtocolVersion to 2.
  3. Similarly, make version N+2 of your app require version N+1 as a prerequisite. For version N+2 of your app, set ProtocolVersion to 3.

During this upgrade, older cluster members will still have Server IDs equal to their network addresses. To upgrade an older member and give it an ID, it needs to leave the cluster and re-enter:

  1. Remove the server from the cluster with RemoveServer, using its network address as its ServerID.
  2. Update the server's config to a better ID (restarting the server).
  3. Add the server back to the cluster with AddVoter, using its new ID.

You can do this during the rolling upgrade from N+1 to N+2 of your app, or as a rolling change at any time after the upgrade.

Version History

0: Original Raft library before versioning was added. Servers running this 

version of the Raft library use AddPeerDeprecated/RemovePeerDeprecated
for all configuration changes, and have no support for LogConfiguration.

1: First versioned protocol, used to interoperate with old servers, and begin 

the migration path to newer versions of the protocol. Under this version
all configuration changes are propagated using the now-deprecated
RemovePeerDeprecated Raft log entry. This means that server IDs are always
set to be the same as the server addresses (since the old log entry type
cannot transmit an ID), and only AddPeer/RemovePeer APIs are supported.
Servers running this version of the protocol can understand the new
LogConfiguration Raft log entry but will never generate one so they can
remain compatible with version 0 Raft servers in the cluster.

2: Transitional protocol used when migrating an existing cluster to the new 

server ID system. Server IDs are still set to be the same as server
addresses, but all configuration changes are propagated using the new
LogConfiguration Raft log entry type, which can carry full ID information.
This version supports the old AddPeer/RemovePeer APIs as well as the new
ID-based AddVoter/RemoveServer APIs which should be used when adding
version 3 servers to the cluster later. This version sheds all
interoperability with version 0 servers, but can interoperate with newer
Raft servers running with protocol version 1 since they can understand the
new LogConfiguration Raft log entry, and this version can still understand
their RemovePeerDeprecated Raft log entries. We need this protocol version
as an intermediate step between 1 and 3 so that servers will propagate the
ID information that will come from newly-added (or -rolled) servers using
protocol version 3, but since they are still using their address-based IDs
from the previous step they will still be able to track commitments and
their own voting status properly. If we skipped this step, servers would
be started with their new IDs, but they wouldn't see themselves in the old
address-based configuration, so none of the servers would think they had a
vote.

3: Protocol adding full support for server IDs and new ID-based server APIs 

(AddVoter, AddNonvoter, etc.), old AddPeer/RemovePeer APIs are no longer
supported. Version 2 servers should be swapped out by removing them from
the cluster one-by-one and re-adding them with updated configuration for
this protocol version, along with their server ID. The remove/add cycle
is required to populate their server ID. Note that removing must be done
by ID, which will be the old server's address.

const (
	ProtocolVersionMin ProtocolVersion = 0
	ProtocolVersionMax                 = 3
)

type RPC 

type RPC struct {
	Command  interface{}
	Reader   io.Reader // Set only for InstallSnapshot
	RespChan chan<- RPCResponse
}

RPC has a command, and provides a response mechanism.

func (*RPC) Respond 

func (r *RPC) Respond(resp interface{}, err error)

Respond is used to respond with a response, error or both

type RPCHeader 

type RPCHeader struct {
	// ProtocolVersion is the version of the protocol the sender is
	// speaking.
	ProtocolVersion ProtocolVersion
}

RPCHeader is a common sub-structure used to pass along protocol version and other information about the cluster. For older Raft implementations before versioning was added this will default to a zero-valued structure when read by newer Raft versions.

type RPCResponse 

type RPCResponse struct {
	Response interface{}
	Error    error
}

RPCResponse captures both a response and a potential error.

type Raft 

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

Raft implements a Raft node.

func NewRaft 

func NewRaft(conf *Config, fsm FSM, logs LogStore, stable StableStore, snaps SnapshotStore, trans Transport) (*Raft, error)

NewRaft is used to construct a new Raft node. It takes a configuration, as well as implementations of various interfaces that are required. If we have any old state, such as snapshots, logs, peers, etc, all those will be restored when creating the Raft node.

func (*Raft) AddNonvoter 

func (r *Raft) AddNonvoter(id ServerID, address ServerAddress, prevIndex uint64, timeout time.Duration) IndexFuture

AddNonvoter will add the given server to the cluster but won't assign it a vote. The server will receive log entries, but it won't participate in elections or log entry commitment. If the server is already in the cluster as a staging server or voter, this does nothing. This must be run on the leader or it will fail. For prevIndex and timeout, see AddVoter.

func (*Raft) AddPeer 

func (r *Raft) AddPeer(peer ServerAddress) Future

AddPeer (deprecated) is used to add a new peer into the cluster. This must be run on the leader or it will fail. Use AddVoter/AddNonvoter instead.

func (*Raft) AddVoter 

func (r *Raft) AddVoter(id ServerID, address ServerAddress, prevIndex uint64, timeout time.Duration) IndexFuture

AddVoter will add the given server to the cluster as a staging server. If the server is already in the cluster as a voter, this does nothing. This must be run on the leader or it will fail. The leader will promote the staging server to a voter once that server is ready. If nonzero, prevIndex is the index of the only configuration upon which this change may be applied; if another configuration entry has been added in the meantime, this request will fail. If nonzero, timeout is how long this server should wait before the configuration change log entry is appended.

func (*Raft) AppliedIndex 

func (r *Raft) AppliedIndex() uint64

AppliedIndex returns the last index applied to the FSM. This is generally lagging behind the last index, especially for indexes that are persisted but have not yet been considered committed by the leader. NOTE - this reflects the last index that was sent to the application's FSM over the apply channel but DOES NOT mean that the application's FSM has yet consumed it and applied it to its internal state. Thus, the application's state may lag behind this index.

func (*Raft) Apply 

func (r *Raft) Apply(cmd []byte, timeout time.Duration) ApplyFuture

Apply is used to apply a command to the FSM in a highly consistent manner. This returns a future that can be used to wait on the application. An optional timeout can be provided to limit the amount of time we wait for the command to be started. This must be run on the leader or it will fail.

func (*Raft) Barrier 

func (r *Raft) Barrier(timeout time.Duration) Future

Barrier is used to issue a command that blocks until all preceeding operations have been applied to the FSM. It can be used to ensure the FSM reflects all queued writes. An optional timeout can be provided to limit the amount of time we wait for the command to be started. This must be run on the leader or it will fail.

func (*Raft) BootstrapCluster 

func (r *Raft) BootstrapCluster(configuration Configuration) Future

BootstrapCluster is equivalent to non-member BootstrapCluster but can be called on an un-bootstrapped Raft instance after it has been created. This should only be called at the beginning of time for the cluster, and you absolutely must make sure that you call it with the same configuration on all the Voter servers. There is no need to bootstrap Nonvoter and Staging servers.

func (*Raft) DemoteVoter 

func (r *Raft) DemoteVoter(id ServerID, prevIndex uint64, timeout time.Duration) IndexFuture

DemoteVoter will take away a server's vote, if it has one. If present, the server will continue to receive log entries, but it won't participate in elections or log entry commitment. If the server is not in the cluster, this does nothing. This must be run on the leader or it will fail. For prevIndex and timeout, see AddVoter.

func (*Raft) DeregisterObserver 

func (r *Raft) DeregisterObserver(or *Observer)

DeregisterObserver deregisters an observer.

func (*Raft) GetConfiguration 

func (r *Raft) GetConfiguration() ConfigurationFuture

GetConfiguration returns the latest configuration and its associated index currently in use. This may not yet be committed. This must not be called on the main thread (which can access the information directly).

func (*Raft) LastContact 

func (r *Raft) LastContact() time.Time

LastContact returns the time of last contact by a leader. This only makes sense if we are currently a follower.

func (*Raft) LastIndex 

func (r *Raft) LastIndex() uint64

LastIndex returns the last index in stable storage, either from the last log or from the last snapshot.

func (*Raft) Leader 

func (r *Raft) Leader() ServerAddress

Leader is used to return the current leader of the cluster. It may return empty string if there is no current leader or the leader is unknown.

func (*Raft) LeaderCh 

func (r *Raft) LeaderCh() <-chan bool

LeaderCh is used to get a channel which delivers signals on acquiring or losing leadership. It sends true if we become the leader, and false if we lose it. The channel is not buffered, and does not block on writes.

func (*Raft) RegisterObserver 

func (r *Raft) RegisterObserver(or *Observer)

RegisterObserver registers a new observer.

func (*Raft) RemovePeer 

func (r *Raft) RemovePeer(peer ServerAddress) Future

RemovePeer (deprecated) is used to remove a peer from the cluster. If the current leader is being removed, it will cause a new election to occur. This must be run on the leader or it will fail. Use RemoveServer instead.

func (*Raft) RemoveServer 

func (r *Raft) RemoveServer(id ServerID, prevIndex uint64, timeout time.Duration) IndexFuture

RemoveServer will remove the given server from the cluster. If the current leader is being removed, it will cause a new election to occur. This must be run on the leader or it will fail. For prevIndex and timeout, see AddVoter.

func (*Raft) Restore 

func (r *Raft) Restore(meta *SnapshotMeta, reader io.Reader, timeout time.Duration) error

Restore is used to manually force Raft to consume an external snapshot, such as if restoring from a backup. We will use the current Raft configuration, not the one from the snapshot, so that we can restore into a new cluster. We will also use the higher of the index of the snapshot, or the current index, and then add 1 to that, so we force a new state with a hole in the Raft log, so that the snapshot will be sent to followers and used for any new joiners. This can only be run on the leader, and blocks until the restore is complete or an error occurs.

WARNING! This operation has the leader take on the state of the snapshot and then sets itself up so that it replicates that to its followers though the install snapshot process. This involves a potentially dangerous period where the leader commits ahead of its followers, so should only be used for disaster recovery into a fresh cluster, and should not be used in normal operations.

func (*Raft) Shutdown 

func (r *Raft) Shutdown() Future

Shutdown is used to stop the Raft background routines. This is not a graceful operation. Provides a future that can be used to block until all background routines have exited.

func (*Raft) Snapshot 

func (r *Raft) Snapshot() SnapshotFuture

Snapshot is used to manually force Raft to take a snapshot. Returns a future that can be used to block until complete, and that contains a function that can be used to open the snapshot.

func (*Raft) State 

func (r *Raft) State() RaftState

State is used to return the current raft state.

func (*Raft) Stats 

func (r *Raft) Stats() map[string]string

Stats is used to return a map of various internal stats. This should only be used for informative purposes or debugging.

Keys are: "state", "term", "last_log_index", "last_log_term", "commit_index", "applied_index", "fsm_pending", "last_snapshot_index", "last_snapshot_term", "latest_configuration", "last_contact", and "num_peers".

The value of "state" is a numerical value representing a RaftState const.

The value of "latest_configuration" is a string which contains the id of each server, its suffrage status, and its address.

The value of "last_contact" is either "never" if there has been no contact with a leader, "0" if the node is in the leader state, or the time since last contact with a leader formatted as a string.

The value of "num_peers" is the number of other voting servers in the cluster, not including this node. If this node isn't part of the configuration then this will be "0".

All other values are uint64s, formatted as strings.

func (*Raft) String 

func (r *Raft) String() string

String returns a string representation of this Raft node.

func (*Raft) VerifyLeader 

func (r *Raft) VerifyLeader() Future

VerifyLeader is used to ensure the current node is still the leader. This can be done to prevent stale reads when a new leader has potentially been elected.

type RaftState 

type RaftState uint32

RaftState captures the state of a Raft node: Follower, Candidate, Leader, or Shutdown. 

const (
	// Follower is the initial state of a Raft node.
	Follower RaftState = iota

SnapshotSink is returned by StartSnapshot. The FSM will Write state to the sink and call Close on completion. On error, Cancel will be invoked.

type SnapshotStore 

type SnapshotStore interface {
	// Create is used to begin a snapshot at a given index and term, and with
	// the given committed configuration. The version parameter controls
	// which snapshot version to create.
	Create(version SnapshotVersion, index, term uint64, configuration Configuration,
		configurationIndex uint64, trans Transport) (SnapshotSink, error)

	// List is used to list the available snapshots in the store.
	// It should return then in descending order, with the highest index first.
	List() ([]*SnapshotMeta, error)

	// Open takes a snapshot ID and provides a ReadCloser. Once close is
	// called it is assumed the snapshot is no longer needed.
	Open(id string) (*SnapshotMeta, io.ReadCloser, error)
}

SnapshotStore interface is used to allow for flexible implementations of snapshot storage and retrieval. For example, a client could implement a shared state store such as S3, allowing new nodes to restore snapshots without streaming from the leader.

type SnapshotVersion 

type SnapshotVersion int

These are versions of snapshots that this server can _understand_. Currently, it is always assumed that this server generates the latest version, though this may be changed in the future to include a configurable version.

Version History

0: Original Raft library before versioning was added. The peers portion of 

these snapshots is encoded in the legacy format which requires decodePeers
to parse. This version of snapshots should only be produced by the
unversioned Raft library.

1: New format which adds support for a full configuration structure and its 

associated log index, with support for server IDs and non-voting server
modes. To ease upgrades, this also includes the legacy peers structure but
that will never be used by servers that understand version 1 snapshots.
Since the original Raft library didn't enforce any versioning, we must
include the legacy peers structure for this version, but we can deprecate
it in the next snapshot version.

const (
	SnapshotVersionMin SnapshotVersion = 0
	SnapshotVersionMax                 = 1
)

type StableStore 

type StableStore interface {
	Set(key []byte, val []byte) error

	// Get returns the value for key, or an empty byte slice if key was not found.
	Get(key []byte) ([]byte, error)

	SetUint64(key []byte, val uint64) error

	// GetUint64 returns the uint64 value for key, or 0 if key was not found.
	GetUint64(key []byte) (uint64, error)
}

StableStore is used to provide stable storage of key configurations to ensure safety.

type StreamLayer 

type StreamLayer interface {
	net.Listener

	// Dial is used to create a new outgoing connection
	Dial(address ServerAddress, timeout time.Duration) (net.Conn, error)
}

StreamLayer is used with the NetworkTransport to provide the low level stream abstraction.

type TCPStreamLayer 

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

TCPStreamLayer implements StreamLayer interface for plain TCP.

func (*TCPStreamLayer) Accept 

func (t *TCPStreamLayer) Accept() (c net.Conn, err error)

Accept implements the net.Listener interface.

func (*TCPStreamLayer) Addr 

func (t *TCPStreamLayer) Addr() net.Addr

Addr implements the net.Listener interface.

func (*TCPStreamLayer) Close 

func (t *TCPStreamLayer) Close() (err error)

Close implements the net.Listener interface.

func (*TCPStreamLayer) Dial 

func (t *TCPStreamLayer) Dial(address ServerAddress, timeout time.Duration) (net.Conn, error)

Dial implements the StreamLayer interface.

type Transport 

type Transport interface {
	// Consumer returns a channel that can be used to
	// consume and respond to RPC requests.
	Consumer() <-chan RPC

	// LocalAddr is used to return our local address to distinguish from our peers.
	LocalAddr() ServerAddress

	// AppendEntriesPipeline returns an interface that can be used to pipeline
	// AppendEntries requests.
	AppendEntriesPipeline(id ServerID, target ServerAddress) (AppendPipeline, error)

	// AppendEntries sends the appropriate RPC to the target node.
	AppendEntries(id ServerID, target ServerAddress, args *AppendEntriesRequest, resp *AppendEntriesResponse) error

	// RequestVote sends the appropriate RPC to the target node.
	RequestVote(id ServerID, target ServerAddress, args *RequestVoteRequest, resp *RequestVoteResponse) error

	// InstallSnapshot is used to push a snapshot down to a follower. The data is read from
	// the ReadCloser and streamed to the client.
	InstallSnapshot(id ServerID, target ServerAddress, args *InstallSnapshotRequest, resp *InstallSnapshotResponse, data io.Reader) error

	// EncodePeer is used to serialize a peer's address.
	EncodePeer(id ServerID, addr ServerAddress) []byte

	// DecodePeer is used to deserialize a peer's address.
	DecodePeer([]byte) ServerAddress

	// SetHeartbeatHandler is used to setup a heartbeat handler
	// as a fast-pass. This is to avoid head-of-line blocking from
	// disk IO. If a Transport does not support this, it can simply
	// ignore the call, and push the heartbeat onto the Consumer channel.
	SetHeartbeatHandler(cb func(rpc RPC))
}

Transport provides an interface for network transports to allow Raft to communicate with other nodes.

type WithClose 

type WithClose interface {
	// Close permanently closes a transport, stopping
	// any associated goroutines and freeing other resources.
	Close() error
}

WithClose is an interface that a transport may provide which allows a transport to be shut down cleanly when a Raft instance shuts down.

It is defined separately from Transport as unfortunately it wasn't in the original interface specification.

type WithPeers 

type WithPeers interface {
	Connect(peer ServerAddress, t Transport) // Connect a peer
	Disconnect(peer ServerAddress)           // Disconnect a given peer
	DisconnectAll()                          // Disconnect all peers, possibly to reconnect them later
}

WithPeers is an interface that a transport may provide which allows for connection and disconnection. Unless the transport is a loopback transport, the transport specified to "Connect" is likely to be nil.

type WithRPCHeader 

type WithRPCHeader interface {
	GetRPCHeader() RPCHeader
}

WithRPCHeader is an interface that exposes the RPC header.
