PastryEndpoint

public PastryEndpoint(PastryNode pn,
                      Application application,
                      java.lang.String instance)
Constructor.

Parameters:
pn - the pastry node that the application attaches to.

PastryEndpoint

public PastryEndpoint(PastryNode pn,
                      Application application,
                      int port)
Constructor.

Parameters:
pn - the pastry node that the application attaches to.
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 key,
                  Message msg,
                  NodeHandle hint)
This operation forwards a message towards the root of key. The optional hint argument specifies a node that should be used as a first hop in routing the message. A good hint, e.g. one that refers to the key's current root, can result in the message being delivered in one hop; a bad hint adds at most one extra hop to the route. Either K or hint may be NULL, but not both. The operation provides a best-effort service: the message may be lost, duplicated, corrupted, or delayed indefinitely.

Specified by:
route in interface Endpoint
Parameters:
key - the key
msg - the message to deliver.
hint - the hint

scheduleMessage

public CancellableTask scheduleMessage(Message message,
                                       long delay)
Schedules a message to be delivered to this application after the provided number of milliseconds.

Specified by:
scheduleMessage in interface Endpoint
Parameters:
message - The message to be delivered
delay - The number of milliseconds to wait before delivering the message

scheduleMessage

public CancellableTask scheduleMessage(Message message,
                                       long delay,
                                       long period)
Schedules a message to be delivered to this application every period number of milliseconds, after delay number of miliseconds have passed.

Specified by:
scheduleMessage in interface Endpoint
Parameters:
message - The message to be delivered
delay - The number of milliseconds to wait before delivering the fist message
delay - The number of milliseconds to wait before delivering subsequent messages

scheduleMessageAtFixedRate

public CancellableTask scheduleMessageAtFixedRate(Message msg,
                                                  long delay,
                                                  long period)
Schedule the specified message for repeated fixed-rate delivery to the local node, beginning after the specified delay. Subsequent executions take place at approximately regular intervals, separated by the specified period.

Specified by:
scheduleMessageAtFixedRate in interface Endpoint
Parameters:
msg - a message that will be delivered to the local node after the specified delay
delay - time in milliseconds before message is to be delivered
period - time in milliseconds between successive message deliveries
Returns:
the scheduled event object; can be used to cancel the message

localLookup

public NodeHandleSet localLookup(Id key,
                                 int num,
                                 boolean safe)
This method produces a list of nodes that can be used as next hops on a route towards key, such that the resulting route satisfies the overlay protocol's bounds on the number of hops taken. If safe is true, the expected fraction of faulty nodes in the list is guaranteed to be no higher than the fraction of faulty nodes in the overlay; if false, the set may be chosen to optimize performance at the expense of a potentially higher fraction of faulty nodes. This option allows applications to implement routing in overlays with byzantine node failures. Implementations that assume fail-stop behavior may ignore the safe argument. The fraction of faulty nodes in the returned list may be higher if the safe parameter is not true because, for instance, malicious nodes have caused the local node to build a routing table that is biased towards malicious nodes~\cite{Castro02osdi}.

Specified by:
localLookup in interface Endpoint
Parameters:
key - the message's key
num - the maximal number of next hops nodes requested
safe -
Returns:
the nodehandle set

neighborSet

public NodeHandleSet neighborSet(int num)
This method produces an unordered list of nodehandles that are neighbors of the local node in the ID space. Up to num node handles are returned.

Specified by:
neighborSet in interface Endpoint
Parameters:
num - the maximal number of nodehandles requested
Returns:
the nodehandle set

replicaSet

public NodeHandleSet replicaSet(Id id,
                                int maxRank)
This method returns an ordered set of nodehandles on which replicas of the object with key can be stored. The call returns nodes with a rank up to and including max_rank. If max_rank exceeds the implementation's maximum replica set size, then its maximum replica set is returned. The returned nodes may be used for replicating data since they are precisely the nodes which become roots for the key when the local node fails.

Specified by:
replicaSet in interface Endpoint
Parameters:
key - the key
max_rank - the maximal number of nodehandles returned
Returns:
the replica set

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 remote "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 n,
                     int r,
                     Id key,
                     boolean cumulative)
This method provides information about ranges of keys for which the node n is currently a r-root. The operations returns null if the range could not be determined. It is an error to query the range of a node not present in the neighbor set as returned by the update upcall or the neighborSet call. Some implementations may have multiple, disjoint ranges of keys for which a given node is responsible (Pastry has two). The parameter key allows the caller to specify which range should be returned. If the node referenced by n is the r-root for key, then the resulting range includes key. Otherwise, the result is the nearest range clockwise from key for which n is responsible.

Specified by:
range in interface Endpoint
Parameters:
n - nodeHandle of the node whose range is being queried
r - the rank
key - the key
cumulative - if true, returns ranges for which n is an i-root for 0Returns:
the range of keys, or null if range could not be determined for the given node and rank

Some implementations may have multiple, disjoint ranges of keys for which a given node is responsible (Pastry has two). The parameter key allows the caller to specify which range should be returned.
