Overview

A NodeRecord is the central server's record of a Node running remotely. We can use it to assign WorkUnits to the Node, and keep track of its status. When a Node exits, it destroys this record.

Constant Summary

PORT =

Extract the port number from the host id.

+ (Object) check_in(params, request)

Register a Node with the central server. This happens periodically (once every `Node::CHECK_IN_INTERVAL` seconds). Nodes will be de-registered if they checked in within a reasonable interval.

Instance Method Details

- (Object) actions

What Actions is this Node able to run?

# File 'lib/cloud_crowd/models/node_record.rb', line 56

def actions
  @actions ||= enabled_actions.split(',')
end

- (Boolean) busy?

Is this Node too busy for more work? Determined by number of workers, or the Node's load average, as configured in config.yml.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

# File 'lib/cloud_crowd/models/node_record.rb', line 62

def busy?
  busy || (max_workers && work_units.count >= max_workers)
end

- (Object) display_status

The printable status of the Node.

# File 'lib/cloud_crowd/models/node_record.rb', line 79

def display_status
  busy? ? 'busy' : 'available'
end

- (Object) node

Keep a RestClient::Resource handy for contacting the Node, including HTTP authentication, if configured.

# File 'lib/cloud_crowd/models/node_record.rb', line 74

def node
  @node ||= RestClient::Resource.new(url, CloudCrowd.client_options)
end

- (Object) redistribute_work_units (private)

When a Node exits, release its WorkUnits and redistribute them to others. Redistribute in a separate thread to avoid delaying shutdown.

def redistribute_work_units
  release_work_units
  Thread.new { WorkUnit.distribute_to_nodes }
end

- (Object) release_work_units

Release all of this Node's WorkUnits for other nodes to take.

# File 'lib/cloud_crowd/models/node_record.rb', line 89

def release_work_units
  WorkUnit.update_all('node_record_id = null, worker_pid = null', "node_record_id = #{id}")
end

- (Object) send_work_unit(unit)

Dispatch a WorkUnit to this node. Places the node at back at the end of the rotation. If we fail to send the WorkUnit, we consider the node to be down, and remove this record, freeing up all of its checked-out work units. If the Node responds that it's overloaded, we mark it as busy. Returns true if the WorkUnit was dispatched successfully.
