Enum QuorumPolicy

java.lang.Object
  java.lang.Enum<QuorumPolicy>
      com.sleepycat.je.rep.QuorumPolicy

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<QuorumPolicy>

public enum QuorumPolicy
extends Enum<QuorumPolicy>

The quorum policy determine the number of nodes that must participate to pick the winner of an election, and therefore the master of the group. The default quorum policy during the lifetime of the group is QuorumPolicy.SIMPLE_MAJORITY. The only time that the application needs to specify a specific quorum policy is at node startup time, by passing one to the ReplicatedEnvironment constructor.

Enum Constant Summary

ALL
All participants are required to vote.

SIMPLE_MAJORITY
A simple majority of participants is required to vote.

Method Summary

int	quorumSize(int groupSize) Returns the minimum number of nodes to needed meet the quorum policy.
static QuorumPolicy	valueOf(String name) Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static QuorumPolicy[]	values() Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Detail

ALL

public static final QuorumPolicy ALL

All participants are required to vote.

SIMPLE_MAJORITY

public static final QuorumPolicy SIMPLE_MAJORITY

A simple majority of participants is required to vote.

Method Detail

values

public static QuorumPolicy[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (QuorumPolicy c : QuorumPolicy.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static QuorumPolicy valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

quorumSize

public int quorumSize(int groupSize)

Returns the minimum number of nodes to needed meet the quorum policy.

Parameters:

groupSize - the size of the replication group.

Returns:

the number of nodes that are needed for a quorum for a group with groupSize number of nodes.
