Hob: CRDT For Go

Go implementations of data structures from A comprehensive study of Convergent and Commutative Replicated Data Types

This is pre-release, experimental software

Examples

Two-Phase-Set

two_phase_set, _ := hob.NewTwoPhaseSet()
two_phase_set.Add("I'm in the add set")
two_phase_set.Add("I'm also in the add set")
two_phase_set.Remove("I'm in the add set") // and in the remove set
json, _ := two_phase_set.JSON()

Produces:

{
  "type":"2p-set",
  "a": ["I'm in the add set","I'm also in the add set"],
  "r": ["I'm in the add set"]
}

LWW-element-Set

lwwset, _ := hob.NewLWWSet("a")
lwwset.Add("Dude!")
lwwset.Remove("Dude!")
lwwset.Add("Other key")
json, _ := lwwset.JSON()

Produces:

{
  "type":"lww-e-set",
  "bias":"a",
  "e":[
    ["Dude!","2012-07-16T00:42:05.146259Z","2012-07-16T00:42:05.146263Z"],
    ["Other key","2012-07-16T00:42:05.146267Z",""]
  ]
}

Prior Art

A few Open Source implementations of these data structures exist. Hob conforms to the same JSON format as:

Reid Draper Knockbox (Clojure Implementation - Github Repo)
Kyle Kingsbury Meangirls (Ruby Implementation - Github Repo)

TODO

A lot! This library lacks a lot at the moment, including JSON decoding. I'm trying to figure out the best idiomatic Go way to handle parsing multiple data types with the same code.

Tests

go test
