zookeeper_client
by Phillip Pearson
http://github.com/myelin/zookeeper_client
== DESCRIPTION:
zookeeper_client is a Ruby library to interface with the ZooKeeper
replicated object store / lock server.
Project maturity: early alpha. Working, although very chatty and
there may be bugs to do with threading. Expect to get your hands
dirty.
== REQUIREMENTS:
* ZooKeeper C client library (http://zookeeper.sourceforge.net/)
See installation instructions in c/README, in the ZooKeeper source
distribution. zookeeper_client expects the headers to live in
/usr/include/c-client-src/, which doesn't feel right but is where
they go on my system when I run 'make install'.
== INSTALL:
$ gem sources -a http://gems.github.com/
$ gem install myelin-zookeeper_client
== USAGE:
= Connect to a server
require 'rubygems'
require 'myelin-zookeeper_client'
z = ZooKeeper.new("localhost:2181")
= Create, set and read nodes
z.create("/bacon", "text to be stored in the new node", 0)
# => "/bacon"
data, stat = z.get("/bacon")
# => ["text to be stored in the new node", #<ZkStat:0xb771be54 @ephemeralOwner=0, @ctime=1216196667669, @aversion=0, @mzxid=1008, @cversion=0, @version=0, @czxid=1008, @mtime=1216196667669>]
z.set("/bacon", "an entirely different line of text", stat.version)
# => nil
z.set("/bacon", "this won't work", stat.version)
# CZooKeeper::BadVersionError: expected version does not match actual version
data, stat = z.get("/bacon")
# => ["an entirely different line of text", #<ZkStat:0xb77125d4 @ephemeralOwner=0, @ctime=1216196667669, @aversion=0, @mzxid=1009, @cversion=0, @version=1, @czxid=1008, @mtime=1216196704709>]
z.delete("/bacon", stat.version)
# => nil
= Create ephemeral and sequence nodes
z.create("/parent", "parent node", 0)
# => "/parent"
z.create("/parent/test-", "an ordered node that will disappear when the connection goes down", ZooKeeper::EPHEMERAL | ZooKeeper::SEQUENCE)
# => "/parent/test-0"
z.create("/parent/test-", "an ordered node that will disappear when the connection goes down", ZooKeeper::EPHEMERAL | ZooKeeper::SEQUENCE)
# => "/parent/test-1"
= Acquire locks
z.try_acquire "/parent/lock-", "content for the lock file" do |have_lock|
puts have_lock ? "we have the lock" : "we don't have the lock"
end
# we have the lock
# => nil
