# Sync
|
|
|
|
Sync is a synchronization library for distributed systems.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Distributed systems by their very nature are decoupled and independent. In most cases they must honour 2 out of 3 letters of the CAP theorem
|
|
e.g Availability and Partitional tolerance but sacrificing consistency. In the case of microservices we often offload this concern to
|
|
an external database or eventing system. Go Sync provides a framework for synchronization which can be used in the application by the developer.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
- [Leader](#leader) - leadership election for group coordination
|
|
- [Lock](#lock) - distributed locking for exclusive resource access
|
|
- [Task](#task) - distributed job execution
|
|
- [Time](#time) - provides synchronized time
|
|
|
|
## Lock
|
|
|
|
The Lock interface provides distributed locking. Multiple instances attempting to lock the same id will block until available.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
import "github.com/micro/go-micro/sync/lock/consul"
|
|
|
|
lock := consul.NewLock()
|
|
|
|
// acquire lock
|
|
err := lock.Acquire("id")
|
|
// handle err
|
|
|
|
// release lock
|
|
err = lock.Release("id")
|
|
// handle err
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Leader
|
|
|
|
Leader provides leadership election. Useful where one node needs to coordinate some action.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
import (
|
|
"github.com/micro/go-micro/sync/leader"
|
|
"github.com/micro/go-micro/sync/leader/consul"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
l := consul.NewLeader(
|
|
leader.Group("name"),
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
// elect leader
|
|
e, err := l.Elect("id")
|
|
// handle err
|
|
|
|
|
|
// operate while leader
|
|
revoked := e.Revoked()
|
|
|
|
for {
|
|
select {
|
|
case <-revoked:
|
|
// re-elect
|
|
e.Elect("id")
|
|
default:
|
|
// leader operation
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// resign leadership
|
|
e.Resign()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Task
|
|
|
|
Task provides distributed job execution. It's a simple way to distribute work across a coordinated pool of workers.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
import (
|
|
"github.com/micro/go-micro/sync/task"
|
|
"github.com/micro/go-micro/sync/task/local"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
t := local.NewTask(
|
|
task.WithPool(10),
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
err := t.Run(task.Command{
|
|
Name: "atask",
|
|
Func: func() error {
|
|
// exec some work
|
|
return nil
|
|
},
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
// do something
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Time
|
|
|
|
Time provides synchronized time. Local machines may have clock skew and time cannot be guaranteed to be the same everywhere.
|
|
Synchronized Time allows you to decide how time is defined for your applications.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
import (
|
|
"github.com/micro/go-micro/sync/time/ntp"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
|
|
t := ntp.NewTime()
|
|
time, err := t.Now()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## TODO
|
|
|
|
- Event package - strongly consistent event stream e.g kafka
|
