Interface ConsistentHash

  • public interface ConsistentHash
    A consistent hash algorithm implementation. Implementations would typically be constructed via a ConsistentHashFactory. A consistent hash assigns each key a list of owners; the number of owners is defined at creation time, but the consistent hash is free to return a smaller or a larger number of owners, depending on circumstances. The first element in the list of owners is the "primary owner". The other owners are called "backup owners". Some implementations guarantee that there will always be a primary owner, others do not. This interface gives access to some implementation details of the consistent hash. Our consistent hashes work by splitting the hash space (the set of possible hash codes) into fixed segments and then assigning those segments to nodes dynamically. The number of segments is defined at creation time, and the mapping of keys to segments never changes. The mapping of segments to nodes can change as the membership of the cache changes. Normally application code doesn't need to know about this implementation detail, but some applications may benefit from the knowledge that all the keys that map to one segment are always located on the same server.

    • Method Detail

      • getNumSegments

        int getNumSegments()
        Returns:
        The actual number of hash space segments. Note that it may not be the same as the number of segments passed in at creation time.

      • getMembers

        List<org.infinispan.remoting.transport.Address> getMembers()
        Should return the addresses of the nodes used to create this consistent hash.
        Returns:
        set of node addresses.

      • locateOwnersForSegment

        List<org.infinispan.remoting.transport.Address> locateOwnersForSegment​(int segmentId)
        Returns:
        All the nodes that own a given hash space segment, first address is the primary owner. The returned list is unmodifiable.

      • locatePrimaryOwnerForSegment

        org.infinispan.remoting.transport.Address locatePrimaryOwnerForSegment​(int segmentId)
        Returns:
        The primary owner of a given hash space segment. This is equivalent to locateOwnersForSegment(segmentId).get(0) but is more efficient

      • isSegmentLocalToNode

        default boolean isSegmentLocalToNode​(org.infinispan.remoting.transport.Address nodeAddress,
                                     int segmentId)
        Check if a segment is local to a given member.

        Implementation note: normally key-based method are implemented based on segment-based methods. Here, however, we need a default implementation for the segment-based method for backwards-compatibility reasons.

      • isReplicated

        default boolean isReplicated()
        Returns:
        true if every member owns every segment. This allows callers to skip computing the segment of a key in some cases.

      • getSegmentsForOwner

        Set<Integer> getSegmentsForOwner​(org.infinispan.remoting.transport.Address owner)
        Returns the segments owned by a cache member.
        Parameters:
        owner - the address of the member
        Returns:
        a non-null set of segment IDs, may or may not be unmodifiable, which shouldn't be modified by caller. The set is empty if owner is not a member of the consistent hash.

      • getPrimarySegmentsForOwner

        Set<Integer> getPrimarySegmentsForOwner​(org.infinispan.remoting.transport.Address owner)
        Returns the segments that this cache member is the primary owner for.
        Parameters:
        owner - the address of the member
        Returns:
        a non-null set of segment IDs, may or may not be unmodifiable, which shouldn't be modified by caller. The set is empty if owner is not a member of the consistent hash.

      • getRoutingTableAsString

        String getRoutingTableAsString()
        Returns a string containing all the segments and their associated addresses.

      • toScopedState

        default void toScopedState​(ScopedPersistentState state)
        Writes this ConsistentHash to the specified scoped state. Before invoking this method, the ConsistentHash addresses will have to be replaced with their corresponding PersistentUUIDs
        Parameters:
        state - the state to which this ConsistentHash will be written

      • remapAddresses

        default ConsistentHash remapAddresses​(UnaryOperator<org.infinispan.remoting.transport.Address> remapper)
        Returns a new ConsistentHash with the addresses remapped according to the provided UnaryOperator. If an address cannot me remapped (i.e. the remapper returns null) this method should return null.
        Parameters:
        remapper - the remapper which given an address replaces it with another one
        Returns:
        the remapped ConsistentHash or null if one of the remapped addresses is null

      • getCapacityFactors

        default Map<org.infinispan.remoting.transport.Address,​Float> getCapacityFactors()
        The capacity factor of each member. Determines the relative capacity of each node compared to the others. If null, all the members are assumed to have a capacity factor of 1.
