Hi Guys,
I have a question regarding Riak's protobuffer client gen_server
process. I have a cluster of 5 nodes (machines), each with consecutive
IP addresses. Our application is 100% erlang and runs on its own
machine. The arguments to riakc_pb_socket:start_link/2 is an Address,
Port and the optional Options. The Address and Port is the address of
the riak server, but in the case of a masterless cluster of 5 machines,
which address do I use?
In reviewing the code for riakc_pb_socket.erl, the client opens a socket
via gen_tcp to that particular node in the cluster and only that node.
This means that there is a 1 to 1 connection between the riak node and
the client. Is this correct? Maybe I am missing something?
If so, then it looks like I need to implement my own round-robin
algorithm across a pool of protobuffer clients that I am managing, each
bound to a different node in the cluster while testing "aliveness" with
ping/2 and an immediate timeout?
Cheers,
Bryan
