### Leader Election
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Leader Election module wraps the Lock module to allow clients to come to consensus on a single value.
|
||||||
|
This is useful when you want one server to process at a time but allow other servers to fail over.
|
||||||
|
The API is similar to the Lock module but is limited to simple strings values.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Here's the API:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Attempt to set a value for the "order_processing" leader key:**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:4001/mod/v2/leader/order_processing?ttl=60 -d name=myserver1.foo.com
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Retrieve the current value for the "order_processing" leader key:**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
curl http://127.0.0.1:4001/mod/v2/leader/order_processing
|
||||||
|
myserver1.foo.com
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Remove a value from the "order_processing" leader key:**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:4001/mod/v2/leader/order_processing?name=myserver1.foo.com
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If multiple clients attempt to set the value for a key then only one will succeed.
|
||||||
|
The other clients will hang until the current value is removed because of TTL or because of a `DELETE` operation.
|
||||||
|
Multiple clients can submit the same value and will all be notified when that value succeeds.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To update the TTL of a value simply reissue the same `POST` command that you used to set the value.
