This article provides insights into how Gyrex interacts with ZooKeeper.
Prerequisites
Please read about ZooKeeper. This article may use terminology which is specific to ZooKeeper and also goes right into the details.
Summary
ZooKeeper is used in Gyrex in order to implement the core functionality of clustering in Gyrex:
- Which node belongs to the cloud? (Membership)
- Which node offers which functionality in the cloud? (Coordination)
ZooKeeper also offers receipts which allow to implement additional functionality. Based on those receipts the following additional capabilities are also implemented in Gyrex:
- Cloud Preferences Scope which stores preferences in ZooKeeper
- Queue Service (similar to Amazon SQS) which allows to post and receive messages with a visibility timout
- Lock Service which allows to create distributed locks (based on ephemeral as well as persistent nodes)
ZooKeeper Gate
The ZooKeeper gate is the central point in Gyrex which coordinates all communication to ZooKeeper. It is responsible for establishing and maintaining a ZooKeeper connection. Listeners can be registered with the gate in order to participate in the connection life cycle.
