RmqttRaft - A raft framework, for regular people
This is an attempt to create a layer on top of tikv/raft-rs, that is easier to use and implement. This is not supposed to be the most featureful raft, but instead a convenient interface to get started quickly, and have a working raft in no time.
The interface is strongly inspired by the one used by canonical/raft.
Getting started
In order to "raft" storage, we need to implement the Storage
trait for it. Bellow is an example with HashStore
, which is a thread-safe wrapper around an HashMap
:
/// convienient data structure to pass Message in the raft
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub enum Message {
Insert { key: String, value: String },
Get { key: String },
}
#[derive(Clone)]
struct HashStore(Arc<RwLock<HashMap<String, String>>>);
impl HashStore {
fn new() -> Self {
Self(Arc::new(RwLock::new(HashMap::new())))
}
fn get(&self, key: &str) -> Option<String> {
self.0.read().unwrap().get(key).cloned()
}
}
#[async_trait]
impl Store for HashStore {
async fn apply(&mut self, message: &[u8]) -> RaftResult<Vec<u8>> {
let message: Message = deserialize(message).unwrap();
let message: Vec<u8> = match message {
Message::Insert { key, value } => {
let mut db = self.0.write().unwrap();
let v = serialize(&value).unwrap();
db.insert(key, value);
v
}
_ => Vec::new(),
};
Ok(message)
}
async fn query(&self, query: &[u8]) -> RaftResult<Vec<u8>> {
let query: Message = deserialize(query).unwrap();
let data: Vec<u8> = match query {
Message::Get { key } => {
if let Some(val) = self.get(&key) {
serialize(&val).unwrap()
} else {
Vec::new()
}
}
_ => Vec::new(),
};
Ok(data)
}
async fn snapshot(&self) -> RaftResult<Vec<u8>> {
Ok(serialize(&self.0.read().unwrap().clone())?)
}
async fn restore(&mut self, snapshot: &[u8]) -> RaftResult<()> {
let new: HashMap<String, String> = deserialize(snapshot).unwrap();
let mut db = self.0.write().unwrap();
let _ = std::mem::replace(&mut *db, new);
Ok(())
}
}
Only 4 methods need to be implemented for the Store:
Store::apply
: applies a commited entry to the store.Store::query
query a entry from the store;Store::snapshot
: returns snapshot data for the store.Store::restore
: applies the snapshot passed as argument.
running the raft
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> std::result::Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let store = HashStore::new();
let raft = Raft::new(options.raft_addr, store.clone(), logger.clone());
let leader_info = raft.find_leader_info(options.peer_addrs).await?;
let mailbox = Arc::new(raft.mailbox());
let (raft_handle, mailbox) = match leader_info {
Some((leader_id, leader_addr)) => {
info!(logger, "running in follower mode");
let handle = tokio::spawn(raft.join(options.id, Some(leader_id), leader_addr));
(handle, mailbox)
}
None => {
info!(logger, "running in leader mode");
let handle = tokio::spawn(raft.lead(options.id));
(handle, mailbox)
}
};
tokio::try_join!(raft_handle)?;
Ok(())
}
The mailbox
gives you a way to interact with the raft, for sending a message, or leaving the cluster for example.
