| Attribute | Description |
|---|
className |
The default value is org.apache.catalina.tribes.membership.McastService
and is currently the only implementation.
This implementation uses multicast heartbeats for member discovery.
|
address |
The multicast address that the membership will broadcast its presence and listen
for other heartbeats on. The default value is 228.0.0.4
Make sure your network is enabled for multicast traffic.
The multicast address, in conjunction with the port is what
creates a cluster group. To divide up your farm into several different group, or to
split up QA from production, change the port or the address
Previously known as mcastAddr.
|
port |
The multicast port, the default value is 45564
The multicast port, in conjunction with the address is what
creates a cluster group. To divide up your farm into several different group, or to
split up QA from production, change the port or the address
|
frequency |
The frequency in milliseconds in which heartbeats are sent out. The default value is 500 ms.
In most cases the default value is sufficient. Changing this value, simply changes the interval in between heartbeats.
|
dropTime |
The membership component will time out members and notify the Channel if a member fails to send a heartbeat within
a give time. The default value is 3000 ms. This means, that if a heartbeat is not received from a
member in that timeframe, the membership component will notify the cluster of this.
On a high latency network you may wish to increase this value, to protect against false positives.
Apache Tribes also provides a TcpFailureDetector that will
verify a timeout using a TCP connection when a heartbeat timeout has occurred. This protects against false positives.
|
bind |
Use this attribute if you wish to bind your multicast traffic to a specific network interface.
By default, or when this attribute is unset, it tries to bind to 0.0.0.0 and sometimes on multihomed hosts
this becomes a problem.
|
ttl |
The time-to-live setting for the multicast heartbeats.
This setting should be a value between 0 and 255. The default value is VM implementation specific.
|
domain |
Apache Tribes has the ability to logically group members into domains, by using this domain attribute.
The org.apache.catalina.tribes.Member.getDomain() method returns the value specified here.
|
soTimeout |
The sending and receiving of heartbeats is done on a single thread, hence to avoid blocking this thread forever,
you can control the SO_TIMEOUT value on this socket.
If a value smaller or equal to 0 is presented, the code will default this value to frequency
