Constructor Detail

MembershipEvent

public MembershipEvent(Cluster cluster,
                       Member member,
                       int eventType,
                       Set<Member> members)

Method Detail

getMembers

public Set<Member> getMembers()

Returns a consistent view of the the members immediately after this MembershipEvent has been processed. If a member is removed, the returned set will not include this member. If a member is added, it will include this member.

The problem with calling the Cluster.getMembers() method is that the content could already have changed while processing this event, so it becomes very difficult to write a deterministic algorithm since you cannot get a deterministic view of the members. This method solves that problem.

The set is immutable and ordered. For more information see Cluster.getMembers().

Returns:

the members at the moment after this event.

getCluster

public Cluster getCluster()

Returns the cluster of the event.

Returns:

the current cluster instance

getEventType

public int getEventType()

Returns the membership event type; #MEMBER_ADDED #MEMBER_REMOVED

Returns:

the membership event type

getMember

public Member getMember()

Returns the removed or added member.

Returns:

member which is removed or added

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class EventObject
