This version of ringpop has been modified to support roles so that different services can join a single cluster but still communicate, it does this by filtering the address list by role name with support of a * wildcard.

Ringpop is a library that brings cooperation and coordination to distributed applications. It maintains a consistent hash ring on top of a membership protocol and provides request forwarding as a routing convenience. It can be used to shard your application in a way that's scalable and fault tolerant.

To install ringpop-go:

go get github.com/uber/ringpop-go

First make certain that thrift (OSX: brew install thrift) and glide are in your path (above). Then,

make setup

to install remaining golang dependencies and install the pre-commit hook.

Finally, run the tests by doing:

make test
