Interface LoadBalancer

public interface LoadBalancer
LoadBalancer allows you to send operations to one of a number of endpoints (members). It is up to the implementation to use different load balancing policies.

If the client is not configured with RoutingMode.SINGLE_MEMBER, operations that are not key-based will be routed to the endpoint returned by the LoadBalancer. For SINGLE_MEMBER routing clients, the LoadBalancer is not used.

For configuration see ClientConfig.setLoadBalancer(LoadBalancer).
