Interface IEndpointSnitch

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractEndpointSnitch, AbstractNetworkTopologySnitch, DynamicEndpointSnitch, PropertyFileSnitch, RackInferringSnitch, SimpleSnitch

public interface IEndpointSnitch

This interface helps determine location of node in the data center relative to another node. Give a node A and another node B it can tell if A and B are on the same rack or in the same data center.

Method Summary

int	compareEndpoints(java.net.InetAddress target, java.net.InetAddress a1, java.net.InetAddress a2) compares two endpoints in relation to the target endpoint, returning as Comparator.compare would
java.lang.String	getDatacenter(java.net.InetAddress endpoint) returns a String representing the datacenter this endpoint belongs to
java.lang.String	getRack(java.net.InetAddress endpoint) returns a String repesenting the rack this endpoint belongs to
java.util.List<java.net.InetAddress>	getSortedListByProximity(java.net.InetAddress address, java.util.Collection<java.net.InetAddress> unsortedAddress) returns a new List sorted by proximity to the given endpoint
void	sortByProximity(java.net.InetAddress address, java.util.List<java.net.InetAddress> addresses) This method will sort the List by proximity to the given address.

Method Detail

getRack

java.lang.String getRack(java.net.InetAddress endpoint)

returns a String repesenting the rack this endpoint belongs to

getDatacenter

java.lang.String getDatacenter(java.net.InetAddress endpoint)

returns a String representing the datacenter this endpoint belongs to

getSortedListByProximity

java.util.List<java.net.InetAddress> getSortedListByProximity(java.net.InetAddress address,
                                                              java.util.Collection<java.net.InetAddress> unsortedAddress)

returns a new List sorted by proximity to the given endpoint

sortByProximity

void sortByProximity(java.net.InetAddress address,
                     java.util.List<java.net.InetAddress> addresses)

This method will sort the List by proximity to the given address.

compareEndpoints
