Redlock provides a ruby distributed lock using redis.
|
|
|
|
Distributed locks are a very useful primitive in many environments where
|
|
different processes require to operate with shared resources in a mutually
|
|
exclusive way.
|
|
|
|
There are a number of libraries and blog posts describing how to implement a DLM
|
|
(Distributed Lock Manager) with Redis, but every library uses a different
|
|
approach, and many use a simple approach with lower guarantees compared to what
|
|
can be achieved with slightly more complex designs.
|
|
|
|
This is an implementation of a proposed distributed lock algorithm with Redis.
|
|
It started as a fork from antirez implementation.
