Method Detail

acquireLock

io.vertx.core.Future<Boolean> acquireLock(String lock,
                                          String token,
                                          long lockExpiryMs)

Try to acquire a lock. The token parameter value must be unique across all clients and all lock requests. The lockExpiryMs parameter defines the expiry of the lock. When not manually released, the lock will be released automatically when expired.

Parameters:

lock - The name of the lock to acquire

token - A unique token to define the owner of the lock

lockExpiryMs - The lock expiry in milliseconds

Returns:

Returns a Future holding a Boolean value whether the lock could be successfully acquired or not

releaseLock

io.vertx.core.Future<Boolean> releaseLock(String lock,
                                          String token)

Try to release a lock. The token parameter value is used to verify that only the owner of the lock can release it. The token parameter value also prevents the original owner of an already expired lock to release a lock which has been acquired by another client.

Parameters:

lock - The name of the lock to release

token - A unique token to verify if the owner of the lock tries to release the lock

Returns:

Returns a Future holding a Boolean value whether the lock could be sucsessfully released or not
