#get(name = nil, token = :last, not_found = :wait, found = :return, options = {}) ⇒ hash

Note:

Whereas the consul API for events returns all past events that match name, this method allows retrieval of individual events from that sequence. However, because consul’s API isn’t conducive to this, we can offer first, last, next (last + 1) events, or arbitrary events in the middle, though these can only be identified relative to the preceding event. However, this is ideal for iterating through the sequence of events (while being sure that none are missed).

Get a specific event in the sequence matching name rubocop:disable Metrics/PerceivedComplexity

Parameters:

  • name (String) (defaults to: nil)

    the name of the event (regex)

  • token (String|Symbol) (defaults to: :last)

    the ordinate of the event in the sequence; String are tokens returned by previous calls to this function Symbols are the special tokens :first, :last, and :next

  • not_found (Symbol) (defaults to: :wait)

    behaviour if there is no matching event; :reject with exception, :return degenerate value, or :wait for event

  • found (Symbol) (defaults to: :return)

    behaviour if there is a matching event; :reject with exception, or :return its current value

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    options parameter hash

Returns:

  • (hash)

    A hash with keys :value and :token; :value is a further hash of the :name and :payload of the event, :token is the event’s ordinate in the sequence and can be passed to future calls to get the subsequent event

#get_all(name = nil, not_found = :reject, found = :return, options = {}) ⇒ Array[hash]

Note:

Events are sent via the gossip protocol; there is no guarantee of delivery success or order, but the local agent will store up to 256 events that do arrive. This method lists those events. It has the same semantics as Kv::get, except the value returned is a list i.e. the current value is all events up until now, the next value is the current list plus the next event to arrive. To get a specific event in the sequence, @see #get When trying to get a list of events matching a name, there are two possibilities:

  • The list doesn’t (yet) exist / is empty

  • The list exists / is non-empty

The combination of not_found and found behaviour gives maximum possible flexibility. For X: reject, R: return, W: wait

  • X X - meaningless; never return a value

  • X R - “normal” non-blocking get operation. Default

  • X W - get the next value only (must have a current value)

  • R X - meaningless; never return a meaningful value

  • R R - “safe” non-blocking, non-throwing get-or-default operation

  • R W - get the next value or a default

  • W X - get the first value only (must not have a current value)

  • W R - get the first or current value; always return something, but

    block only when necessary
    
  • W W - get the first or next value; wait until there is an update

Get the list of events matching name

Parameters:

  • name (String) (defaults to: nil)

    the name of the event (regex)

  • not_found (Symbol) (defaults to: :reject)

    behaviour if there are no events matching name; :reject with exception, :return degenerate value, or :wait for a non-empty list

  • found (Symbol) (defaults to: :return)

    behaviour if there are already events matching name; :reject with exception, :return its current value, or :wait for its next value

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    options parameter hash

Returns:

  • (Array[hash])

    The list of { :name, :payload } hashes
