NodeHandle

public NodeHandle()

Method Detail

getNodeId

public abstract NodeId getNodeId()

Gets the nodeId of this Pastry node.

Returns:

the node id.

getId

public Id getId()

Description copied from class: NodeHandle

Returns this node's id.

Specified by:

getId in class NodeHandle

Returns:

The corresponding node's id.

isAlive

public abstract boolean isAlive()

Returns the last known liveness information about the Pastry node associated with this handle. Invoking this method does not cause network activity.

Specified by:

isAlive in class NodeHandle

Returns:

true if the node is alive, false otherwise.

proximity

public abstract int proximity()

Returns the last known proximity information about the Pastry node associated with this handle. Invoking this method does not cause network activity. Smaller values imply greater proximity. The exact nature and interpretation of the proximity metric implementation-specific.

Specified by:

proximity in class NodeHandle

Returns:

the proximity metric value

ping

public abstract boolean ping()

Ping the node. Refreshes the cached liveness status and proximity value of the Pastry node associated with this. Invoking this method causes network activity.

Returns:

true if node is currently alive.

setLocalNode

public final void setLocalNode(PastryNode pn)

Set the local PastryNode.

Specified by:

setLocalNode in interface LocalNodeI

Parameters:

pn - local pastrynode

afterSetLocalNode

public void afterSetLocalNode()

Method that can be overridden by handle to set isLocal, etc.

getLocalNode

public final PastryNode getLocalNode()

Accessor method.

Specified by:

getLocalNode in interface LocalNodeI

assertLocalNode

public final void assertLocalNode()

May be called from handle etc methods to ensure that local node has been set, either on construction or on deserialization/receivemsg.

Specified by:

assertLocalNode in interface LocalNodeI

equals

public abstract boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Equality operator for nodehandles.

Parameters:

obj - a nodehandle object

Returns:

true if they are equal, false otherwise.

hashCode

public abstract int hashCode()

Hash codes for nodehandles.

Returns:

a hash code.
