Nested Class Summary
`static class` | `ScribePolicy.DefaultScribePolicy` The default policy for Scribe, which always allows new children to join and adds children in the order in which they are provided, implicitly providing a depth-first search.
`static class` | `ScribePolicy.LimitedScribePolicy` An optional policy for Scribe, which allows up to a specified number of children per topic.

Method Summary
`boolean` | `allowSubscribe(SubscribeMessage message, ScribeClient[] clients, NodeHandle[] children)` This method is called when the newChild is about to become our child, and the policy should return whether or not the child should be allowed to become our child.
`void` | `childAdded(Topic topic, NodeHandle child)` Informs this policy that a child was added to a topic - the topic is free to ignore this upcall if it doesn't care.
`void` | `childRemoved(Topic topic, NodeHandle child)` Informs this policy that a child was removed from a topic - the topic is free to ignore this upcall if it doesn't care.
`void` | `directAnycast(AnycastMessage message, NodeHandle parent, NodeHandle[] children)` This method is called when an anycast is received which is not satisfied at the local node.

Method Detail

### allowSubscribe

    public boolean allowSubscribe(SubscribeMessage message,
                                  ScribeClient[] clients,
                                  NodeHandle[] children)

  This method is called when the newChild is about to become our child, and the policy should return whether or not the child should be allowed to become our child. If the length of children and clients is both 0, allowing the child to join will have the effect of implicitly subscribing this node the the given topic.

  Parameters:
    `message` - The subscribe message in question
    `children` - The list of children who are currently subscribed to this topic
    `clients` - The list of clients are are currently subscribed to this topic
  Returns:
    Whether or not this child should be allowed add.

### directAnycast

    public void directAnycast(AnycastMessage message,
                              NodeHandle parent,
                              NodeHandle[] children)

  This method is called when an anycast is received which is not satisfied at the local node. This method should add both the parent and child nodes to the anycast's to-search list, but this method allows different policies concerning the order of the adding as well as selectively adding nodes.

  Parameters:
    `message` - The anycast message in question
    `parent` - Our current parent for this message's topic
    `children` - Our current children for this message's topic

### childAdded

    public void childAdded(Topic topic,
                           NodeHandle child)

  Informs this policy that a child was added to a topic - the topic is free to ignore this upcall if it doesn't care.

  Parameters:
    `topic` - The topic to unsubscribe from
    `child` - The child that was added

### childRemoved

    public void childRemoved(Topic topic,
                             NodeHandle child)

  Informs this policy that a child was removed from a topic - the topic is free to ignore this upcall if it doesn't care.

  Parameters:
    `topic` - The topic to unsubscribe from
    `child` - The child that was removed
