package finagle

Finagle is an extensible RPC system.

Services are represented by class com.twitter.finagle.Service. Clients make use of com.twitter.finagle.Service objects while servers implement them.

Finagle contains a number of protocol implementations; each of these implement Client and/or com.twitter.finagle.Server. For example, Finagle's HTTP implementation, com.twitter.finagle.Http (in package finagle-http), exposes both.

Thus a simple HTTP server is built like this:

import com.twitter.finagle.{Http, Service}
import com.twitter.finagle.http.{Request, Response}
import com.twitter.util.{Await, Future}

val service = new Service[Request, Response] {
  def apply(req: Request): Future[Response] =
    Future.value(Response())
}
val server = Http.server.serve(":8080", service)
Await.ready(server)

We first define a service to which requests are dispatched. In this case, the service returns immediately with a HTTP 200 OK response, and with no content.

This service is then served via the Http protocol on TCP port 8080. Finally we wait for the server to stop serving.

We can now query our web server:

% curl -D - localhost:8080
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Building an HTTP client is also simple. (Note that type annotations are added for illustration.)

import com.twitter.finagle.{Http, Service}
import com.twitter.finagle.http.{Request, Response}
import com.twitter.util.{Future, Return, Throw}

val client: Service[Request, Response] = Http.client.newService("localhost:8080")
val f: Future[Response] = client(Request()).respond {
  case Return(rep) =>
    printf("Got HTTP response %s\n", rep)
  case Throw(exc) =>
    printf("Got error %s\n", exc)
}

Http.client.newService("localhost:8080") constructs a new com.twitter.finagle.Service instance connected to localhost TCP port 8080. We then issue a HTTP/1.1 GET request to URI "/". The service returns a com.twitter.util.Future representing the result of the operation. We listen to this future, printing an appropriate message when the response arrives.

The Finagle homepage contains useful documentation and resources for using Finagle.

package loadbalancer

This package implements client side load balancing algorithms.

As an end-user, see the Balancers API to create instances which can be used to configure a Finagle client with various load balancing strategies.

As an implementor, each algorithm gets its own subdirectory and is exposed via the Balancers object. Several convenient traits are provided which factor out common behavior and can be mixed in (i.e. Balancer, DistributorT, NodeT, and Updating).

class BufferingPool[Req, Rep] extends ServiceFactoryProxy[Req, Rep]

class SingletonPool[Req, Rep] extends ServiceFactory[Req, Rep]
A pool that maintains at most one service from the underlying ServiceFactory -- concurrent leases share the same, cached service.
A pool that maintains at most one service from the underlying ServiceFactory -- concurrent leases share the same, cached service. A new Service is established whenever the service factory fails or the current service has become unavailable.
final class WatermarkPool[Req, Rep] extends ServiceFactory[Req, Rep]
The watermark pool is an object pool with low & high watermarks.
The watermark pool is an object pool with low & high watermarks. It keeps the number of services from a given service factory in a certain range.
This behaves as follows: the pool will persist up to the low watermark number of items (as long as they have been created), and won't start queueing requests until the high watermark has been reached. Put another way: up to lowWatermark' items may persist indefinitely, while there are at no times more thanhighWatermark' items in concurrent existence.
