Nilai-rs

Nilai is a simple, lightweight embedded failure detection protocol based on SWIM. Nilai detects the failure state by pinging every node in a cluster by round-robin fashion.

It spreads the node state by infection style. Nilai is lightweight because it's built on top of tokio runtime.

Nilai derived from thamizh word (நிலை), which means state.

Example

use failure::Error;
use nilai::builder;
use nilai::types;
use std::thread;
use std::time::Duration;

fn do_main() -> Result<(), Error> {
    let nilai_builder = builder::NilaiBuilder::new("127.0.0.1:5001".parse()?);
    let closer = nilai_builder
        .alive_delegate(Box::new(|_: types::Node| println!("new node joined")))
        .execute()?;
    // nilai is running so block the current thread.
    thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(5));
    closer.stop();
    Ok(())
}

fn main() {
    match do_main() {
        Err(err) => {
            println!("not able to run nilai handler {:?}", err);
        }
        _ => {}
    }
}
