Detailed Description

Abstract interface to report cluster status changes.

Each of the methods below deals with a certain type of cluster status changes, for example, hosts joining or leaving a cluster.

Users can implement this interface and register an instance of the implementation class as callback object to be notified in case of cluster status changes (see mi::neuraylib::INetwork_configuration::register_host_callback()).

Note
Instances of this interface should not be created on the stack, since this might lead to premature destruction of such instances while still being in use by the Iray SDK.

Member Function Documentation

 connection_callback()

virtual void mi::neuraylib::IHost_callback::connection_callback ( Uint32  host_id,
bool  flag 
)
pure virtual

This function is called when this host established or lost the connection to the cluster.

It should return as soon as possible because it may block further network operations.

Parameters
host_idThe host ID of this host. This ID is guaranteed to be unique in a cluster and will never be reused for another host.
flagtrue in case of an established connection, false in case of a lost connection.

 database_status_callback()

virtual void mi::neuraylib::IHost_callback::database_status_callback ( const char *  status)
pure virtual

This function is called when the database changes status.

When the database is fully operational the function will be called first with the status "ok". When the database is recovering from a host failure the function will be called with the status "recovery". When the recovery is finished the function will be called with the status "ok" again.

Note that the database can switch to recovery mode when a host is started. This happens when the configured redundancy level could not be reached because simply not enough hosts where present before.

Parameters
statusThe status of the database.

 membership_callback()

virtual void mi::neuraylib::IHost_callback::membership_callback ( Uint32  host_id,
bool  flag 
)
pure virtual

This function is called when a remote host joined or left the cluster.

It should return as soon as possible because it may block further network operations.

Parameters
host_idThe host ID of the host joining or leaving. This ID is guaranteed to be unique in a cluster and will never be reused for another host.
flagtrue in case of a joining host, false in case of a leaving host.

 property_callback()

virtual void mi::neuraylib::IHost_callback::property_callback ( Uint32  host_id,
const IHost_properties properties 
)
pure virtual

This function is called when a remote host communicates its properties.

It should return as soon as possible because it may block further network operations.

Parameters
host_idThe host ID of the remote host. This ID is guaranteed to be unique in a cluster and will never be reused for another host.
propertiesThe properties of the remote host, e.g., its address.

 synchronizer_callback()

virtual void mi::neuraylib::IHost_callback::synchronizer_callback ( Uint32  host_id)
pure virtual

This function is called whenever the synchronizer host changes.

It can be used to record the synchronizer ID for display usages. Since it is guaranteed that there is at any point in time exactly one synchronizer in a working cluster it can also be used to do certain tasks only on the synchronizer.

Parameters
host_idThe host ID of the new synchronizer.
