Constructor Summary

PastryNodeFactory()

Method Summary

abstract rice.pastry.leafset.LeafSet	getLeafSet(rice.pastry.NodeHandle handle) This method returns the remote leafset of the provided handle to the caller, in a protocol-dependent fashion.
rice.pastry.NodeHandle	getNearest(rice.pastry.NodeHandle local, rice.pastry.NodeHandle seed) This method implements the algorithm in the Pastry locality paper for finding a close node the the current node through iterative leafset and route row requests.
abstract int	getProximity(rice.pastry.NodeHandle local, rice.pastry.NodeHandle handle) This method determines and returns the proximity of the current local node the provided NodeHandle.
abstract rice.pastry.routing.RouteSet[]	getRouteRow(rice.pastry.NodeHandle handle, int row) This method returns the remote route row of the provided handle to the caller, in a protocol-dependent fashion.
abstract rice.pastry.PastryNode	newNode(rice.pastry.NodeHandle bootstrap) Call this to construct a new node of the type chosen by the factory.
abstract rice.pastry.PastryNode	newNode(rice.pastry.NodeHandle bootstrap, rice.pastry.NodeId nodeId) Call this to construct a new node of the type chosen by the factory, with the given nodeId.

Method Detail

newNode

public abstract rice.pastry.PastryNode newNode(rice.pastry.NodeHandle bootstrap)

Call this to construct a new node of the type chosen by the factory.

Parameters:

bootstrap - The node handle to bootstrap off of

newNode

public abstract rice.pastry.PastryNode newNode(rice.pastry.NodeHandle bootstrap,
                                               rice.pastry.NodeId nodeId)

Call this to construct a new node of the type chosen by the factory, with the given nodeId.

Parameters:

bootstrap - The node handle to bootstrap off of

nodeId - The nodeId of the new node

getLeafSet

public abstract rice.pastry.leafset.LeafSet getLeafSet(rice.pastry.NodeHandle handle)

This method returns the remote leafset of the provided handle to the caller, in a protocol-dependent fashion. Note that this method may block while sending the message across the wire.

Parameters:

handle - The node to connect to

Returns:

The leafset of the remote node

getRouteRow

public abstract rice.pastry.routing.RouteSet[] getRouteRow(rice.pastry.NodeHandle handle,
                                                           int row)

This method returns the remote route row of the provided handle to the caller, in a protocol-dependent fashion. Note that this method may block while sending the message across the wire.

Parameters:

handle - The node to connect to

row - The row number to retrieve

Returns:

The route row of the remote node

getProximity

public abstract int getProximity(rice.pastry.NodeHandle local,
                                 rice.pastry.NodeHandle handle)

This method determines and returns the proximity of the current local node the provided NodeHandle. This will need to be done in a protocol- dependent fashion and may need to be done in a special way.

Parameters:

handle - The handle to determine the proximity of

Returns:

The proximity of the provided handle

getNearest

public rice.pastry.NodeHandle getNearest(rice.pastry.NodeHandle local,
                                         rice.pastry.NodeHandle seed)

This method implements the algorithm in the Pastry locality paper for finding a close node the the current node through iterative leafset and route row requests. The seed node provided is any node in the network which is a member of the pastry ring. This algorithm is designed to work in a protocol-independent manner, using the getResponse(Message) method provided by subclasses.

Parameters:

seed - Any member of the pastry ring

Returns:

A node suitable to boot off of (which is close the this node)
