SAFplus 7 Design Specification

* General Design Requirements This chapter describes general design requirements and rules-of-thumb to ensure a consistent semantic and API style across all services.

Fundamental Objects

• HandleT

  • This is a cluster-wide identifier

• GlobalHandleT

  • Derives from HandleT, adds a cluster identifier to become globally unique

• Transaction

  • Cross object, node, cluster, transaction

• Dictionary

  • Replicated, nested, persistent, notifiable, shared memory, transactional Hash Table

• ResourceAssociatedKeyDictionary

  • This Dictionary associates a ClusterUniqueId to each key and calls a cleanup whenever the resource represented by the ClusterUniqueId disappears (due to a fault).

Services

• Logging Interface with SAFplus 6.x logging implementation underneath

• Messaging Interface with SAFplus 6.x IOC messaging implementation underneath, but takes a ClusterUniqueId as a destination

• Group Group membership and master election

• Name String name to arbitrary data (generally a ClusterUniqueId)

• Fault All entities report errors to this centralized fault manager. Only it chooses to fault an resource identified by ClusterUniqueId
