Class QueueSharder<U,T extends QueueBase<U>>

java.lang.Object
org.apache.curator.framework.recipes.queue.QueueSharder<U,T>
All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, AutoCloseable

public class QueueSharder<U,T extends QueueBase<U>> extends Object implements Closeable

A utility for shard a distributed queue.

Due to limitations in ZooKeeper's transport layer, a single queue will break if it has more than 10K-ish items in it. This class provides a facade over multiple distributed queues. It monitors the queues and if any one of them goes over a threshold, a new queue is added. Puts are distributed amongst the queues.

NOTE: item ordering is maintained within each managed queue but cannot be maintained across queues. i.e. items might get consumed out of order if they are in different managed queues.
