Class FD

    java.lang.Object
      org.jgroups.stack.Protocol
          org.jgroups.protocols.FD

Direct Known Subclasses:
  FD_ICMP, FD_PING

    public class FD

extends Protocol

Failure detection based on simple heartbeat protocol. Regularly polls members for liveness. Multicasts SUSPECT messages when a member is not reachable. The simple algorithms works as follows: the membership is known and ordered. Each HB protocol periodically sends an 'are-you-alive' message to its *neighbor*. A neighbor is the next in rank in the membership list, which is recomputed upon a view change. When a response hasn't been received for n milliseconds and m tries, the corresponding member is suspected (and eventually excluded if faulty).

FD starts when it detects (in a view change notification) that there are at least 2 members in the group. It stops running when the membership drops below 2.

When a message is received from the monitored neighbor member, it causes the pinger thread to 'skip' sending the next are-you-alive message. Thus, traffic is reduced.

### num_suspect_events

    protected int num_suspect_events

### suspect_history

    protected final BoundedList<Address> suspect_history

### local_addr

    protected Address local_addr

### num_tries

    protected int num_tries

### lock

    protected final java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock lock

### pingable_mbrs

    protected final java.util.List<Address> pingable_mbrs

  Members from which we select ping_dest. may be subset of `members`

### bcast_task

    protected final FD.Broadcaster bcast_task

  Transmits SUSPECT message until view change or UNSUSPECT is received

Constructor Detail

### FD

    public FD()

Method Detail

### getLocalAddress

    public java.lang.String getLocalAddress()

### getMembers

    public java.lang.String getMembers()

### getPingableMembers

    public java.lang.String getPingableMembers()

### getPingDest

    public java.lang.String getPingDest()

### getNumberOfHeartbeatsSent

    public int getNumberOfHeartbeatsSent()

### getNumSuspectEventsGenerated

    public int getNumSuspectEventsGenerated()

### getTimeout

    public long getTimeout()

### setTimeout

    public void setTimeout(long timeout)

### getMaxTries

    public int getMaxTries()

### setMaxTries

    public void setMaxTries(int max_tries)

### getCurrentNumTries

    public int getCurrentNumTries()

### isShun

    @Deprecated
    public static boolean isShun()

  Deprecated.

### setShun

    @Deprecated
    public void setShun(boolean flag)

  Deprecated.

### printSuspectHistory

    public java.lang.String printSuspectHistory()

### resetStats

    public void resetStats()

  Overrides:
    `resetStats` in class `Protocol`

### init

    public void init()
              throws java.lang.Exception

  Description copied from class: `Protocol`
  Called after instance has been created (null constructor) and before protocol is started. Properties are already set. Other protocols are not yet connected and events cannot yet be sent.

  Overrides:
    `init` in class `Protocol`
  Throws:
    `java.lang.Exception` - Thrown if protocol cannot be initialized successfully. This will cause the ProtocolStack to fail, so the channel constructor will throw an exception

### stop

    public void stop()

  Description copied from class: `Protocol`
  This method is called on a `Channel.disconnect()`. Stops work (e.g. by closing multicast socket). Will be called from top to bottom. This means that at the time of the method invocation the neighbor protocol below is still working. This method will replace the STOP, STOP_OK, CLEANUP and CLEANUP_OK events. The ProtocolStack guarantees that when this method is called all messages in the down queue will have been flushed

  Overrides:
    `stop` in class `Protocol`

### createMonitor

    protected FD.Monitor createMonitor()

### stopFailureDetection

    public void stopFailureDetection()

### startFailureDetection

    public void startFailureDetection()

### up

    public java.lang.Object up(Event evt)

  Description copied from class: `Protocol`
  An event was received from the layer below. Usually the current layer will want to examine the event type and - depending on its type - perform some computation (e.g. removing headers from a MSG event type, or updating the internal membership list when receiving a VIEW_CHANGE event). Finally the event is either a) discarded, or b) an event is sent down the stack using `down_prot.down()` or c) the event (or another event) is sent up the stack using `up_prot.up()`.

  Overrides:
    `up` in class `Protocol`

### down

    public java.lang.Object down(Event evt)

  Description copied from class: `Protocol`
  An event is to be sent down the stack. The layer may want to examine its type and perform some action on it, depending on the event's type. If the event is a message MSG, then the layer may need to add a header to it (or do nothing at all) before sending it down the stack using `down_prot.down()`. In case of a GET_ADDRESS event (which tries to retrieve the stack's address from one of the bottom layers), the layer may need to send a new response event back up the stack using `up_prot.up()`.

  Overrides:
    `down` in class `Protocol`
