Types

type Config

type Config struct {
	// The name of this node. This must be unique in the cluster. If this
	// is not set, Serf will set it to the hostname of the running machine.
	NodeName string

	// The role for this node, if any. This is used to differentiate
	// between perhaps different members of a Serf. For example, you might
	// have a "load-balancer" role and a "web" role part of the same cluster.
	// When new nodes are added, the load balancer wants to know (so it
	// must be part of the cluster), but it doesn't want to add other load
	// balancers to the rotation, so it checks if the added nodes are "web".
	Role string

	// EventCh is a channel that receives all the Serf events. The events
	// are sent on this channel in proper ordering. Care must be taken that
	// this channel doesn't block, either by processing the events quick
	// enough or buffering the channel, otherwise it can block state updates
	// within Serf itself. If no EventCh is specified, no events will be fired,
	// but point-in-time snapshots of members can still be retrieved by
	// calling Members on Serf.
	EventCh chan<- Event

	// BroadcastTimeout is the amount of time to wait for a broadcast
	// message to be sent to the cluster. Broadcast messages are used for
	// things like leave messages and force remove messages. If this is not
	// set, a timeout of 5 seconds will be set.
	BroadcastTimeout time.Duration

	// The settings below relate to Serf's event coalescence feature. Serf
	// is able to coalesce multiple events into single events in order to
	// reduce the amount of noise that is sent along the EventCh. For example
	// if five nodes quickly join, the EventCh will be sent one EventMemberJoin
	// containing the five nodes rather than five individual EventMemberJoin
	// events. Coalescence can mitigate potential flapping behavior.
	//
	// Coalescence is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting
	// CoalescePeriod.
	//
	// CoalescePeriod specifies the time duration to coalesce events.
	// For example, if this is set to 5 seconds, then all events received
	// within 5 seconds that can be coalesced will be.
	//
	// QuiescentPeriod specifies the duration of time where if no events
	// are received, coalescence immediately happens. For example, if
	// CoalscePeriod is set to 10 seconds but QuiscentPeriod is set to 2
	// seconds, then the events will be coalesced and dispatched if no
	// new events are received within 2 seconds of the last event. Otherwise,
	// every event will always be delayed by at least 10 seconds.
	CoalescePeriod  time.Duration
	QuiescentPeriod time.Duration

	// The settings below relate to Serf keeping track of recently
	// failed/left nodes and attempting reconnects.
	//
	// ReapInterval is the interval when the reaper runs. If this is not
	// set (it is zero), it will be set to a reasonable default.
	//
	// ReconnectInterval is the interval when we attempt to reconnect
	// to failed nodes. If this is not set (it is zero), it will be set
	// to a reasonable default.
	//
	// ReconnectTimeout is the amount of time to attempt to reconnect to
	// a failed node before giving up and considering it completely gone.
	//
	// TombstoneTimeout is the amount of time to keep around nodes
	// that gracefully left as tombstones for syncing state with other
	// Serf nodes.
	ReapInterval      time.Duration
	ReconnectInterval time.Duration
	ReconnectTimeout  time.Duration
	TombstoneTimeout  time.Duration

	// QueueDepthWarning is used to generate warning message if the
	// number of queued messages to broadcast exceeds this number. This
	// is to provide the user feedback if events are being triggered
	// faster than they can be disseminated
	QueueDepthWarning int

	// RecentIntentBuffer is used to set the size of recent join and leave intent
	// messages that will be buffered. This is used to guard against
	// the case where Serf broadcasts an intent that arrives before the
	// Memberlist event. It is important that this not be too small to avoid
	// continuous rebroadcasting of dead events.
	RecentIntentBuffer int

	// EventBuffer is used to control how many events are buffered.
	// This is used to prevent re-delivery of events to a client. The buffer
	// must be large enough to handle all "recent" events, since Serf will
	// not deliver messages that are older than the oldest entry in the buffer.
	// Thus if a client is generating too many events, it's possible that the
	// buffer gets overrun and messages are not delivered.
	EventBuffer int

	// MemberlistConfig is the memberlist configuration that Serf will
	// use to do the underlying membership management and gossip. Some
	// fields in the MemberlistConfig will be overwritten by Serf no
	// matter what:
	//
	//   * Name - This will always be set to the same as the NodeName
	//     in this configuration.
	//
	//   * Events - Serf uses a custom event delegate.
	//
	//   * Delegate - Serf uses a custom delegate.
	//
	MemberlistConfig *memberlist.Config

	// LogOutput is the location to write logs to. If this is not set,
	// logs will go to stderr.
	LogOutput io.Writer
}

Config is the configuration for creating a Serf instance.

func DefaultConfig

func DefaultConfig() *Config

DefaultConfig returns a Config struct that contains reasonable defaults for most of the configurations.

type Event

type Event interface {
	EventType() EventType
	String() string
}

Event is a generic interface for exposing Serf events Clients will usually need to use a type switches to get to a more useful type

type EventType

type EventType int

EventType are all the types of events that may occur and be sent along the Serf channel.

const (
	EventMemberJoin EventType = iota
	EventMemberLeave
	EventMemberFailed
	EventUser
)

func (EventType) String

func (t EventType) String() string

type LamportClock

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

LamportClock is a thread safe implementation of a lamport clock. It uses efficient atomic operations for all of its functions, falling back to a heavy lock only if there are enough CAS failures.

func (*LamportClock) Increment

func (l *LamportClock) Increment() LamportTime

Increment is used to increment and return the value of the lamport clock

func (*LamportClock) Time

func (l *LamportClock) Time() LamportTime

Time is used to return the current value of the lamport clock

func (*LamportClock) Witness

func (l *LamportClock) Witness(v LamportTime)

Witness is called to update our local clock if necessary after witnessing a clock value received from another process

type LamportTime

type LamportTime uint64

LamportTime is the value of a LamportClock.

type Member

type Member struct {
	Name   string
	Addr   net.IP
	Role   string
	Status MemberStatus
}

Member is a single member of the Serf cluster.

type MemberEvent

type MemberEvent struct {
	Type    EventType
	Members []Member
}

MemberEvent is the struct used for member related events Because Serf coalesces events, an event may contain multiple members.

func (MemberEvent) EventType

func (m MemberEvent) EventType() EventType

func (MemberEvent) String

func (m MemberEvent) String() string

type MemberStatus

type MemberStatus int

MemberStatus is the state that a member is in.

const (
	StatusNone MemberStatus = iota
	StatusAlive
	StatusLeaving
	StatusLeft
	StatusFailed
)

func (MemberStatus) String

func (s MemberStatus) String() string

type Serf

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

Serf is a single node that is part of a single cluster that gets events about joins/leaves/failures/etc. It is created with the Create method.

All functions on the Serf structure are safe to call concurrently.

func Create

func Create(conf *Config) (*Serf, error)

Create creates a new Serf instance, starting all the background tasks to maintain cluster membership information.

After calling this function, the configuration should no longer be used or modified by the caller.

func (*Serf) Join

func (s *Serf) Join(existing []string) (int, error)

Join joins an existing Serf cluster. Returns the number of nodes successfully contacted. The returned error will be non-nil only in the case that no nodes could be contacted.

func (*Serf) Leave

func (s *Serf) Leave() error

Leave gracefully exits the cluster. It is safe to call this multiple times.

func (*Serf) Members

func (s *Serf) Members() []Member

Members returns a point-in-time snapshot of the members of this cluster.

func (*Serf) RemoveFailedNode

func (s *Serf) RemoveFailedNode(node string) error

RemoveFailedNode forcibly removes a failed node from the cluster immediately, instead of waiting for the reaper to eventually reclaim it.

func (*Serf) Shutdown

func (s *Serf) Shutdown() error

Shutdown forcefully shuts down the Serf instance, stopping all network activity and background maintenance associated with the instance.

This is not a graceful shutdown, and should be preceeded by a call to Leave. Otherwise, other nodes in the cluster will detect this node's exit as a node failure.

It is safe to call this method multiple times.

func (*Serf) State

func (s *Serf) State() SerfState

State is the current state of this Serf instance.

func (*Serf) UserEvent

func (s *Serf) UserEvent(name string, payload []byte) error

UserEvent is used to broadcast a custom user event with a given name and payload. The events must be fairly small, and if the size limit is exceeded and error will be returned.

type SerfState

type SerfState int

SerfState is the state of the Serf instance.

const (
	SerfAlive SerfState = iota
	SerfLeft
	SerfShutdown
)

type UserEvent

type UserEvent struct {
	Name    string
	Payload []byte
}

UserEvent is the struct used for events that are triggered by the user and are not related to members

func (UserEvent) EventType

func (u UserEvent) EventType() EventType

func (UserEvent) String

func (u UserEvent) String() string
