rorschach v0.7.2

Rorschach

Rorschach is a Node.js module for high-level interaction with ZooKeeper. Currently it provides all the basic ZooKeeper operations. Refer to the Rorschach API doc below. And in a mean time more recipes will be added.

Rorschach is meant to provide functionality similar to Apache Curator. It was started as implementation of distributed locking recipe and most of algorithms are taken from Curator sources.

While Curator is a ZooKeeper Keeper, Rorschach is a ZooKeeper Watchman.

Installation

npm install rorschach --save

Example

'use strict';

var Rorschach = require('rorschach');
var zookeeper = require('node-zookeeper-client');

var ACL = Rorschach.ACL;
var CreateMode = Rorschach.CreateMode;
var Event = Rorschach.Event;

var Lock = Rorschach.Lock;
var ReadWriteLock = Rorschach.ReadWriteLock;

var client = new Rorschach('127.0.0.1:2181');

client.on('connected', doTheWork);
client.on('error', onerror);

function doTheWork() {
  client
    .create()
    .withMode(CreateMode.EPHEMERAL)
    .withACL(ACL.READ_ACL_UNSAFE)
    .forPath('/a', /*afterCreate(err, path)*/);

  client
   .create()
   .withProtection()
   .creatingParentsIfNeeded()
   .forPath('/my/cool/znode/foo/bar', /*afterCreate(err, path)*/);

  client
   .delete()
   .deleteChildrenIfNeeded()
   .guaranteed()
   .forPath('/my/cool/znode', /*afterDelete(err)*/);

  client
   .getData()
   .usingWatcher(function watcher(event) {
     if (event.getType() === Event.NODE_DELETED) {
       // handle deleted
      }
      else if (event.getType() === Event.NODE_DATA_CHANGED) {
        // handle data change
      }
      else {
        console.warn('Wow, really?');
      }
    })
    .forPath('/some/path', /*afterGetData(err, data, stat)*/);

  var lock = new Lock(client, '/my/znodes/locks/myResource');
  lock.acquire(500, function afterAcquire(err) {
    // handle error

    // do the work with `myResource`

    lock.release(/*callback(err)*/);
  });

  var rwLock = new ReadWriteLock(client, '/my/znodes/locks/anotherResource');
  rwLock.writeLock().acquire(1000, function afterWriteAcquire(err) {
    // handle error

    // update `anotherResource`

    rwLock.writeLock().release(/*callback(err)*/);
  });
}

function onerror(err) {
  console.warn('[Error: %d]: %s', err.getCode(), err.stack);
}

Rorschach

Main class and, better to add, namespace.

For convenience, following node-zookeeper-client classes & constants were referenced by Rorschach:

• ACL
• CreateMode
• Event
• Exception
• Id
• Permission
• State

So you can use them like following:

function watcher(event) {
  if (event.getType() === Rorschach.Event.NODE_DELETED) {
     console.log('At last...');
  }
}

Rorschach(connectionString, options)

Create instance.

Arguments

• connectionString String ZooKeeper connection string
• options Object Options:
  • retryPolicy Object|RetryPolicy RetryPolicy instance or options
  • zookeeper Object ZooKeeper client options

Event: connected

function onConnected() { }

Emitted when connection to ZooKeeper server is established.

Event: connectionStateChanged

function onStateChanged(state) {
  if (state === Rorschach.ConnectionState.CONNECTED || state === Rorschach.ConnectionState.RECONNECTED) {
    console.info('Let\'s rock!');
  }
  /* else if ... */
}

Emitted whenever ZooKeeper client connection state changes. The only argument is state which is one of ConnectionStates.

Event: error

function onerror(err) {
  /* whatTheFussIsGoingOn(err); */
}

Currently, this event is emitted only when some operation fails in retry loop. It is emitted only if error event listener is added to Rorschach instance - to save user from Unhandled 'error' event.
