Interface Member

All Known Implementing Classes:

MemberImpl, StaticMember

public interface Member

The Member interface, defines a member in the group. Each member can carry a set of properties, defined by the actual implementation.
A member is identified by the host/ip/uniqueId
The host is what interface the member is listening to, to receive data
The port is what port the member is listening to, to receive data
The uniqueId defines the session id for the member. This is an important feature since a member that has crashed and the starts up again on the same port/host is not guaranteed to be the same member, so no state transfers will ever be confused

Field Detail

SHUTDOWN_PAYLOAD

static final byte[] SHUTDOWN_PAYLOAD

When a member leaves the cluster, the payload of the memberDisappeared member will be the following bytes. This indicates a soft shutdown, and not a crash

Method Detail

getName

String getName()

Returns the name of this node, should be unique within the group.

getHost

byte[] getHost()

Returns the listen host for the ChannelReceiver implementation

Returns:

IPv4 or IPv6 representation of the host address this member listens to incoming data

See Also:

ChannelReceiver

getPort

int getPort()

Returns the listen port for the ChannelReceiver implementation

Returns:

the listen port for this member, -1 if its not listening on an insecure port

See Also:

ChannelReceiver

getSecurePort

int getSecurePort()

Returns the secure listen port for the ChannelReceiver implementation. Returns -1 if its not listening to a secure port.

Returns:

the listen port for this member, -1 if its not listening on a secure port

See Also:

ChannelReceiver

getUdpPort

int getUdpPort()

Returns the UDP port that this member is listening to for UDP messages.

Returns:

the listen UDP port for this member, -1 if its not listening on a UDP port

getMemberAliveTime

long getMemberAliveTime()

Contains information on how long this member has been online. The result is the number of milli seconds this member has been broadcasting its membership to the group.

Returns:

nr of milliseconds since this member started.

isReady

boolean isReady()

The current state of the member

Returns:

boolean - true if the member is functioning correctly

isSuspect

boolean isSuspect()

The current state of the member

Returns:

boolean - true if the member is suspect, but the crash has not been confirmed

isFailing

boolean isFailing()

Returns:

boolean - true if the member has been confirmed to malfunction

getUniqueId

byte[] getUniqueId()

returns a UUID unique for this member over all sessions. If the member crashes and restarts, the uniqueId will be different.

Returns:

byte[]

getPayload

byte[] getPayload()

returns the payload associated with this member

Returns:

byte[]

getCommand

byte[] getCommand()

returns the command associated with this member

Returns:

byte[]

getDomain

byte[] getDomain()

Domain for this cluster

Returns:

byte[]
