Class ConsistentHashingPool

This class represents a Pool router that sends messages to a Routee determined using consistent-hashing. Please refer to ConsistentHashingRoutingLogic for more information on consistent hashing.

note

Using Resizer with ConsistentHashingPool is potentially harmful, as hash ranges might change radically during live message processing. This router works best with fixed-sized pools or fixed number of routees per node in the event of clustered deployments.

Syntax

public sealed class ConsistentHashingPool : Pool, ISurrogated, IEquatable<RouterConfig>, IEquatable<Pool>

Constructors

ConsistentHashingPool(Config)

Initializes a new instance of the ConsistentHashingPool class.

note

'virtual-nodes-factor' defaults to 0 (zero) if it is not defined in the provided configuration.

Declaration

public ConsistentHashingPool(Config config)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Config	config	The configuration used to configure the pool.

ConsistentHashingPool(Int32)

Initializes a new instance of the ConsistentHashingPool class.

note

A ConsistentHashingPool configured in this way uses the DefaultSupervisorStrategy supervisor strategy.

Declaration

public ConsistentHashingPool(int nrOfInstances)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Int32	nrOfInstances	The initial number of routees in the pool.

ConsistentHashingPool(Int32, ConsistentHashMapping)

Initializes a new instance of the ConsistentHashingPool class.

Declaration

public ConsistentHashingPool(int nrOfInstances, ConsistentHashMapping hashMapping)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Int32	nrOfInstances	The initial number of routees in the pool.
ConsistentHashMapping	hashMapping	The consistent hash mapping function to use on incoming messages.

ConsistentHashingPool(Int32, Resizer, SupervisorStrategy, String, Boolean, Int32, ConsistentHashMapping)

Initializes a new instance of the ConsistentHashingPool class.

Declaration

public ConsistentHashingPool(int nrOfInstances, Resizer resizer, SupervisorStrategy supervisorStrategy, string routerDispatcher, bool usePoolDispatcher = false, int virtualNodesFactor = 0, ConsistentHashMapping hashMapping = null)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Int32	nrOfInstances	The initial number of routees in the pool.
Resizer	resizer	The resizer to use when dynamically allocating routees to the pool.
SupervisorStrategy	supervisorStrategy	The strategy to use when supervising the pool.
String	routerDispatcher	The dispatcher to use when passing messages to the routees.
Boolean	usePoolDispatcher	true to use the pool dispatcher; otherwise false.
Int32	virtualNodesFactor	The number of virtual nodes to use on the hash ring.
ConsistentHashMapping	hashMapping	The consistent hash mapping function to use on incoming messages.

Properties

VirtualNodesFactor

Virtual nodes used in the ConsistentHash<T>.

Declaration

public int VirtualNodesFactor { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Int32

Methods

CreateRouter(ActorSystem)

Creates a router that is responsible for routing messages to routees within the provided system.

Declaration

public override Router CreateRouter(ActorSystem system)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ActorSystem	system	The actor system that owns this router.

Returns

Type	Description
Router	The newly created router tied to the given system.

Overrides

RouterConfig.CreateRouter(ActorSystem)

GetNrOfInstances(ActorSystem)

Used by the Akka.Routing.RoutedActorCell to determine the initial number of routees.

Declaration

public override int GetNrOfInstances(ActorSystem system)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ActorSystem	system	The actor system that owns this router.

Returns

Type	Description
Int32	The number of routees associated with this pool.

Overrides

Pool.GetNrOfInstances(ActorSystem)

ToSurrogate(ActorSystem)

Creates a surrogate representation of the current ConsistentHashingPool.

Declaration

public override ISurrogate ToSurrogate(ActorSystem system)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ActorSystem	system	The actor system that owns this router.

Returns

Type	Description
ISurrogate	The surrogate representation of the current ConsistentHashingPool.

Overrides

RouterConfig.ToSurrogate(ActorSystem)

WithDispatcher(String)

Creates a new ConsistentHashingPool router with a given dispatcher id.

note

This method is immutable and returns a new instance of the router.

Declaration

public ConsistentHashingPool WithDispatcher(string dispatcher)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
String	dispatcher	The dispatcher id used to configure the new router.

Returns

Type	Description
ConsistentHashingPool	A new router with the provided dispatcher id.

WithFallback(RouterConfig)

Configure the current router with an auxiliary router for routes that it does not know how to handle.

Declaration

public override RouterConfig WithFallback(RouterConfig routerConfig)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
RouterConfig	routerConfig	The router to use as an auxiliary source.

Returns

Type	Description
RouterConfig	The router configured with the auxiliary information.

Overrides

RouterConfig.WithFallback(RouterConfig)

Exceptions

Type	Condition
ArgumentException	This exception is thrown if the given routerConfig is not a ConsistentHashingPool.

WithHashMapping(ConsistentHashMapping)

Creates a new ConsistentHashingPool router with a given ConsistentHashMapping.

note

This method is immutable and returns a new instance of the router.

Declaration

public ConsistentHashingPool WithHashMapping(ConsistentHashMapping mapping)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ConsistentHashMapping	mapping	The ConsistentHashMapping used to configure the new router.

Returns

Type	Description
ConsistentHashingPool	A new router with the provided mapping.

WithResizer(Resizer)

Creates a new ConsistentHashingPool router with a given Resizer.

note

This method is immutable and returns a new instance of the router.

note

Using Resizer with ConsistentHashingPool is potentially harmful, as hash ranges might change radically during live message processing. This router works best with fixed-sized pools or fixed number of routees per node in the event of clustered deployments.

Declaration

public ConsistentHashingPool WithResizer(Resizer resizer)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Resizer	resizer	The Resizer used to configure the new router.

Returns

Type	Description
ConsistentHashingPool	A new router with the provided resizer.

WithSupervisorStrategy(SupervisorStrategy)

Creates a new ConsistentHashingPool router with a given SupervisorStrategy.

note

This method is immutable and returns a new instance of the router.

Declaration

public ConsistentHashingPool WithSupervisorStrategy(SupervisorStrategy strategy)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
SupervisorStrategy	strategy	The SupervisorStrategy used to configure the new router.

Returns

Type	Description
ConsistentHashingPool	A new router with the provided strategy.

WithVirtualNodesFactor(Int32)

Declaration

public ConsistentHashingPool WithVirtualNodesFactor(int vnodes)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
