public class LoadBalancingRpcClient extends AbstractRpcClient
An implementation of RpcClient interface that uses NettyAvroRpcClient instances to load-balance the requests over many different hosts. This implementation supports a round-robin scheme or random scheme of doing load balancing over the various hosts. To specify round-robin scheme set the value of the configuration property load-balance-type to round_robin. Similarly, for random scheme this value should be set to random, and for a custom scheme the full class name of the class that implements the HostSelector interface.
This implementation also performs basic failover in case the randomly selected host is not available for receiving the event.

Send a single

Send a list of events to the associated Flume source.

Immediately closes the client so that it may no longer be used.

Configure the client using the given properties object.

Returns
true if this object appears to be in a usable state, and
it returns false if this object is permanently disabled. |
getBatchSize
public void append(Event event) throws EventDeliveryException
RpcClient
Send a single Event
to the associated Flume source.
This method blocks until the RPC returns or until the request times out.
Note: If this method throws an
EventDeliveryException
, there is no way to recover and the
application must invoke RpcClient.close()
on this object to clean up system
resources.

EventDeliveryException
- when an error prevents event delivery.public void appendBatch(List<Event> events) throws EventDeliveryException
RpcClient
Send a list of events to the associated Flume source.
This method blocks until the RPC returns or until the request times out.
It is strongly recommended that the number of events in the List be no
more than RpcClient.getBatchSize()
. If it is more, multiple RPC calls will
be required, and the likelihood of duplicate Events being stored will
increase.
Note: If this method throws an
EventDeliveryException
, there is no way to recover and the
application must invoke RpcClient.close()
on this object to clean up system
resources.

RpcClient
Returns true
if this object appears to be in a usable state, and
it returns false
if this object is permanently disabled.
If this method returns false
, an application must call
RpcClient.close()
on this object to clean up system resources.

public void close() throws FlumeException
RpcClient
Immediately closes the client so that it may no longer be used.
Note: This method MUST be called by applications when they are done using the RPC client in order to clean up resources.
Multi-threaded applications may want to gracefully stop making
RPC calls before calling close(). Otherwise, they risk getting
EventDeliveryException
thrown from their in-flight calls when the
underlying connection is disabled.
