Field Detail

endpoint

protected Endpoint endpoint

The node which this mulitring node is wrapping

Constructor Detail

GCEndpoint

protected GCEndpoint(Endpoint endpoint)

Constructor

Parameters:

node - The node to base this node off of

Method Detail

getId

public Id getId()

Returns this node's id, which is its identifier in the namespace.

Specified by:

getId in interface Endpoint

Returns:

The local node's id

route

public void route(Id id,
                  Message message,
                  NodeHandle hint)

This method makes an attempt to route the message to the root of the given id. The hint handle will be the first hop in the route. If the id field is null, then the message is routed directly to the given node, and delivers the message there. If the hint field is null, then this method makes an attempt to route the message to the root of the given id. Note that one of the id and hint fields can be null, but not both.

Specified by:

route in interface Endpoint

Parameters:

id - The destination Id of the message.

message - The message to deliver

hint - The first node to send this message to, optional

localLookup

public NodeHandleSet localLookup(Id id,
                                 int num,
                                 boolean safe)

This call produces a list of nodes that can be used as next hops on a route towards the given id, such that the resulting route satisfies the overlay protocol's bounds on the number of hops taken. If the safe flag is specified, then the fraction of faulty nodes returned is no higher than the fraction of faulty nodes in the overlay.

Specified by:

localLookup in interface Endpoint

Parameters:

id - The destination id.

num - The number of nodes to return.

safe - Whether or not to return safe nodes.

neighborSet

public NodeHandleSet neighborSet(int num)

This methods returns an unordered set of nodehandles on which are neighbors of the local node in the id space. Up to num handles are returned.

Specified by:

neighborSet in interface Endpoint

Parameters:

num - The number of desired handle to return.

replicaSet

public NodeHandleSet replicaSet(Id id,
                                int maxRank)

This methods returns an ordered set of nodehandles on which replicas of an object with a given id can be stored. The call returns nodes up to and including a node with maxRank.

Specified by:

replicaSet in interface Endpoint

Parameters:

id - The object's id.

maxRank - The number of desired replicas.

replicaSet

public NodeHandleSet replicaSet(Id id,
                                int maxRank,
                                NodeHandle root,
                                NodeHandleSet set)

This methods returns an ordered set of nodehandles on which replicas of an object with a given id can be stored. The call returns nodes up to and including a node with maxRank. This call also allows the application to provide a remove "center" node, as well as other nodes in the vicinity.

Specified by:

replicaSet in interface Endpoint

Parameters:

id - The object's id.

maxRank - The number of desired replicas.

handle - The root handle of the remove set

set - The set of other nodes around the root handle

range

public IdRange range(NodeHandle handle,
                     int rank,
                     Id lkey)

This operation provides information about ranges of keys for which the node is currently a rank-root. The operations returns null if the range could not be determined, the range otherwise. It is an error to query the range of a node not present in the neighbor set as returned bythe update upcall or the neighborSet call. Certain implementations may return an error if rank is greater than zero. Some protocols may have multiple, disjoint ranges of keys for which a given node is responsible. The parameter lkey allows the caller to specify which region should be returned. If the node referenced by is responsible for key lkey, then the resulting range includes lkey. Otherwise, the result is the nearest range clockwise from lkey for which is responsible.

Specified by:

range in interface Endpoint

Parameters:

handle - The handle whose range to check.

rank - The root rank.

lkey - An "index" in case of multiple ranges.

range

public IdRange range(NodeHandle handle,
                     int rank,
                     Id lkey,
                     boolean cumulative)

This operation provides information about ranges of keys for which the node is currently a rank-root. The operations returns null if the range could not be determined, the range otherwise. It is an error to query the range of a node not present in the neighbor set as returned bythe update upcall or the neighborSet call. Certain implementations may return an error if rank is greater than zero. Some protocols may have multiple, disjoint ranges of keys for which a given node is responsible. The parameter lkey allows the caller to specify which region should be returned. If the node referenced by is responsible for key lkey, then the resulting range includes lkey. Otherwise, the result is the nearest range clockwise from lkey for which is responsible.

Specified by:

range in interface Endpoint

Parameters:

handle - The handle whose range to check.

rank - The root rank.

lkey - An "index" in case of multiple ranges.

cumulative - Whether to return the cumulative or single range

getLocalNodeHandle

Specified by:

getLocalNodeHandle in interface Endpoint

Returns:

A NodeHandle referring to the local node.
