Method Detail

init

void init(@NonNull
          Map<UUID,Node> nodes,
          @NonNull
          LoadBalancingPolicy.DistanceReporter distanceReporter)

Initializes this policy with the nodes discovered during driver initialization.

This method is guaranteed to be called exactly once per instance, and before any other method in this class. At this point, the driver has successfully connected to one of the contact points, and performed a first refresh of topology information (by default, the contents of system.peers), to discover other nodes in the cluster.

This method must call distanceReporter.setDistance for each provided node (otherwise that node will stay at distance IGNORED, and the driver won't open connections to it). Note that the node's state can be either UP (for the successful contact point), DOWN (for contact points that were tried unsuccessfully), or UNKNOWN (for contact points that weren't tried, or any other node discovered from the topology refresh). Node states may be updated concurrently while this method executes, but if so this policy will get notified after this method has returned, through other methods such as onUp(Node) or onDown(Node).

Parameters:

nodes - all the nodes that are known to exist in the cluster (regardless of their state) at the time of invocation.

distanceReporter - an object that will be used by the policy to signal distance changes. Implementations will typically store a this in a field, since new nodes may get added later and will need to have their distance set (or the policy might change distances dynamically over time).

newQueryPlan

@NonNull
Queue<Node> newQueryPlan(@Nullable
                                  Request request,
                                  @Nullable
                                  Session session)

Returns the coordinators to use for a new query.

Each new query will call this method, and try the returned nodes sequentially.

Parameters:

request - the request that is being routed. Note that this can be null for some internal uses.

session - the session that is executing the request. Note that this can be null for some internal uses.

Returns:

the list of coordinators to try. This must be a concurrent queue; ConcurrentLinkedQueue is a good choice.

onAdd

void onAdd(@NonNull
           Node node)

Called when a node is added to the cluster.

The new node will be at distance IGNORED, and have the state UNKNOWN.

If this method assigns an active distance to the node, the driver will try to create a connection pool to it (resulting in a state change to UP or DOWN depending on the outcome).

If it leaves it at distance IGNORED, the driver won't attempt any connection. The node state will remain unknown, but might be updated later if a topology event is received from the cluster.

onUp

void onUp(@NonNull
          Node node)

Called when a node is determined to be up.

onDown

void onDown(@NonNull
            Node node)

Called when a node is determined to be down.

onRemove

void onRemove(@NonNull
              Node node)

Called when a node is removed from the cluster.

close

void close()

Called when the cluster that this policy is associated with closes.
