      void prepare(Map<String,Object> conf)
      Method guaranteed to be called as part of initialization of leader elector instance.
      Parameters:
      conf - configuration
    • addToLeaderLockQueue

      void addToLeaderLockQueue() throws Exception
      queue up for leadership lock. The call returns immediately and the caller must check isLeader() to perform any leadership action. This method can be called multiple times so it needs to be idempotent.
      Throws:
      Exception
    • quitElectionFor

      void quitElectionFor(int delayMs) throws Exception
      Removes the caller from leadership election, relinquishing leadership if acquired, then requeues for leadership after the specified delay.
      Parameters:
      delayMs - The delay to wait before re-entering the election
      Throws:
      Exception
    • isLeader

    • awaitLeadership

      boolean awaitLeadership(long timeout, TimeUnit timeUnit) throws InterruptedException
      Wait for the caller to gain leadership. This should only be used in single-Nimbus clusters, and is only useful to allow testing code to wait for a LocalCluster's Nimbus to gain leadership before trying to submit topologies.
      Returns:
      true is leadership was acquired, false otherwise
      Throws:
      InterruptedException
    • getAllNimbuses

      List<NimbusInfo> getAllNimbuses() throws Exception
