Tribbler
Tribbler is a course project in Distributed System class
Functionality
- Built a Twitter-like information dissemination service using RPC calls in Golang that allows users to post messages, read messages, and subscribe to receive other users' messages.
- Implemented consistent hashing on back-end storage servers, and a lease-based cache consistency mechanism that cache frequently-accessed messages to improve the scalability of the system.
Compiling the code
To and compile your code, execute one or more of the following commands (the resulting binaries will be located in the $GOPATH/bin directory.
go install github.com/cmu440/tribbler/runners/srunner
go install github.com/cmu440/tribbler/runners/lrunner
go install github.com/cmu440/tribbler/runners/trunner
go install github.com/cmu440/tribbler/runners/crunner
To simply check that your code compiles (i.e. without creating the binaries), you can use the go build subcommand to compile an individual package as shown below:
# Build/compile the "tribserver" package.
go build path/to/tribserver
# A different way to build/compile the "tribserver" package.
go build github.com/cmu440/tribbler/tribserver
