Interface LoadBalancer

All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractLoadBalancer, RandomLB, RoundRobinLB, StaticLB
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 configured with ClientNetworkConfig.isSmartRouting(), operations that are not key-based will be routed to the endpoint returned by the LoadBalancer. For non-smart clients, the LoadBalancer is not used.

For configuration see ClientConfig.setLoadBalancer(LoadBalancer).
