A library for writing distributed systems that use a gossip protocol to communicate state management, consistent hash rings for sharding, and vector clocks for history. https://www.npmjs.com/package/clusterluck

notp's Issues

Documentation or interface goodies for setting configurations on external IPC connections

• Need a way to specify in code how to change configuration parameters for IPC connection to another node
• Need a way to achieve same functionality listed above over the CLI

Either the above functionality, or explicitly do it in code + add docs on how to manipulate these internal conf params + allow users of library to create their own gen_server to handle this functionality in a more generic way for other gen_servers.

Add convenience commands to CLI tool for reading nodes from a ring, pinging external nodes

• Need a way to read a list of nodes from the CLI tool for convenience (over the JSON blob returned by inspect)
• Need a way to ping external nodes from the CLI to check cluster health

Add ability to explicitly set rfactor on node insertion/update, grab explicit range length of nodes

Would you recommend using this library in production?

Hi there. I'm building a library called nact. The design goal behind it is to make actor systems and the abstractions one can build atop them more accessible to JavaScript developers.

With this goal, I decided to start out by iterating on user facing APIs rather than immediately working on clustering, service discovery and other more technical aspects of distributed actor systems.

While it is a tiny data point, my team was able to grasp the concept of how actor systems work far more easily than I've experienced with other teams when introducing Akka.Net. I'm sure there is a lot of ways to increase usability and reduce boilerplate, but I feel the project is now at a stage where I want to start looking at ways to enable cluster sharding and service discovery.

Would you say clsuterluck is robust enough for production use? I would love to use something like this in nact.
