A Go distributed group membership with a ring topology. The failure detection is achieved by monitoring 4 successors in the ring and check the ack from the successors pinged. We choose 4 successors to monitor since three simultaneous daemon fail can happen and we want to ensure the completeness of the failure detection. Introducer will introduce a joining node to all other members in the ring system.
The branch main is for the demo and branch test_fp1, test_fp2 are branches for experimenting with the false positive rate. This project is implemented by hangy6(Hang Yu) and tian23(Tian Luan).
To build the ring topology, create a file named introducer on the machine that will be the introducer:
touch ~/introducer
or
touch /home/[NETID]/introducer
Please modify the introducer host to your actual introducer host in src/daemon/request.go, function Nodejoin() before you run the who program. Then under src/daemon, starter the introducer by:
go run .
Now the ring is empty and the introducer will always be there to add any node to the ring, we first introduce ourself to the ring and in the interactive shell, we run:
join
Now, the first node has joined which is a ring with one node. For other machines which are common node, simply start the daemon with：
go run .
To join in the ring, use command:
join
To leave the ring (not a failure or killed), run:
leave
To list the current membership list, on any node run:
list_mem
To list the current monitor list on current node, run:
list_mon
To get the identity of the current node, run:
list_self
