Status

This is release candidate code, tested against Hazelcast 3.6-EA+ through 3.9.x Stable releases. See Releases below for compatible jars. For use only on Docker 1.12+ "swarm mode" environments.

IMPORTANT:: Do not rely on JCenter/Bintray anymore! Update your gradle/maven dependencies to use Maven Central: https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:org.bitsofinfo

Releases

For Hazelcast 3.9+ only (see below for <= 3.8)

MASTER - in progress, this README refers to what is in the master tag. Switch to relevant RELEASE tag above to see that version's README
1.0-RC14-20210205: Same as 1.0-RC14 but made compliant for Maven Central due to JCenter/Bintray closure.
1.0-RC14 Additional configurable properties (strict-docker-service-name-comparison / strictDockerServiceNameComparison) to optionally add a strict "equals" check against names of services returned from docker; docker itself returns services based on a "startsWith" check.
1.0-RC13 Additional configurable properties (log-all-service-names-on-failed-discovery / logAllServiceNamesOnFailedDiscovery) to optionally log (FINE) all available docker service names if no containers can be discovered via configured criteria. Better logging to provide the context by which SwarmDiscoveryUtil is being utilized.
1.0-RC12 Additional debug logging
1.0-RC11 Added java.util.Properties based constructor for SwarmMemberAddressProvider
1.0-RC10 Better logging in: DockerDNSRRMemberAddressProvider for bitsofinfo#25
1.0-RC9 Better NPE handling for invalid/null Tasks returned from service spec or no network attachments
1.0-RC8: Incorporated PRs #18 (adjust depedencies declaration), #17
1.0-RC7: Incorporated PRs #14 (initial scan self check), #15 (docker service names optional)
1.0-RC6: Added support for swarm dnsrr based discovery, thanks Cardds, bitsofinfo#10
1.0-RC5: Added support for SSL swarm manager URIs and skip verify for SSL.
1.0-RC4: Changed gradle dependencies for HZ 3.9.+ & spotify docker-client for 8.+. Implemented new MemberAddressProvider SPI, as alternative option to using SwarmAddressPicker

For Hazelcast 3.8 and below

1.0-RC3: Improved SwarmAddressPicker constructor PR #6
1.0-RC2: Excludes stopped tasks #2
1.0-RC1: Initial release

Requirements

Java 7+
Hazelcast 3.6+
Docker 1.12+ Swarm Mode with one or more swarm manager nodes listening on a tcp:// socket

Maven/Gradle

To use this discovery strategy in your Maven or Gradle project use the dependency samples below.

Gradle:

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
  // <!-- Use 1.0.RC3 for Hazelcast < 3.8.x -->
  compile 'org.bitsofinfo:hazelcast-docker-swarm-discovery-spi:1.0-RC14-20210205'
}

Maven:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.bitsofinfo</groupId>
        <artifactId>hazelcast-docker-swarm-discovery-spi</artifactId>
        <version>1.0-RC14-20210205</version> 
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Features

Will permit Hazelcast instances deployed on a Docker 1.12+ Swarm to automatically discover and connect with one another

How it works

Hazelcast applications that use this discovery SPI will discover one another when deployed as Docker services in the following way.

Launch your docker service with its target overlay network name and either its service name or service labels. In addition, specify additional ENVIRONMENT variables via -e named dockerNetworkNames and optionally dockerServiceNames and dockerServiceLabels. You should have at least one of dockerServiceNames or dockerServiceLabels defined. These variables will be consumed by the discovery SPI. The DOCKER_HOST environment variable for the container should also be set to a name that resolves to one or more swarm manager nodes, via the format tcp://, http:// or https://
The Docker Swarm Discovery SPI consumes from the DOCKER_HOST, dockerNetworkNames, optionally dockerServiceNames, dockerServiceLabels and hazelcastPeerPort and begins the following process.
1. Leverages the custom MemberAddressProvider SPI implementation (SwarmMemberAddressProvider) or SwarmAddressPicker hack (read below!) to talk to the $DOCKER_HOST /networks, /services and /tasks APIs to determine the current node's IP address on the docker network, and bind hazelcast on hazelcastPeerPort to that address.
2. Next hazelcast invokes the SPI discoverMembers() to determine all peer docker service tasks (containers) ip addresses and attempts to connect to them to form the cluster connecting to the configured hazelcastPeerPort (default 5701)

Alternatively, discovery can be limited to the bounds of the docker cluster using docker endpoint_mode dnsrr.

Launch your docker service with its service name and target overlay network name with endpoint_mode set to dnsrr. In addition, specify additional ENVIRONMENT variables via -e named serviceName, servicePort, and peerServicesCsv
1. Leverages the custom MemberAddressProvider SPI implementation (DockerDNSRRMemberAddressProvider) to resolve the DNS entries for its own service, serviceName, and port, servicePort, to IP addresses within the docker network.
2. Next, hazelcast invokes the SPI DiscoveryStrategy to resolve the internal docker DNS entries for all services that the hazelcast instance should consider its peers, and connects to them over the ports specified in peerServicesCsv (default 5701)
Note: peerServicesCsv must contain a reference to the serviceName and servicePort, if the service is meant to cluster with itself

Usage

Ensure your project has the hazelcast-docker-swarm-discovery-spi artifact dependency declared in your maven pom or gradle build file as described above. Or build the jar yourself and ensure the jar is in your project's classpath.

Option 1: Local network binding via SwarmMemberAddressProvider

Note this is only available in RC4+ and only for Hazelcast 3.9+. apps

Configure your hazelcast.xml configuration file to use the DockerSwarmDiscoveryStrategy and SwarmMemberAddressProvider (similar to the below): See hazelcast-docker-swarm-discovery-spi-example-member-address-provider.xml for an example with documentation of options.

Config conf =new ClasspathXmlConfig("yourHzConfig.xml");

HazelcastInstance hazelcastInstance = HazelcastInstanceFactory
        .newHazelcastInstance(conf,"myAppName",new DefaultNodeContext());

Option 2: Swarm DNSRR network binding via DockerDNSRRMemberAddressProvider

Note this is only available in RC6+ and only for Hazelcast 3.9+. apps

Configure your hazelcast.xml configuration file to use the DockerDNSRRDiscoveryStrategy and DockerDNSRRMemberAddressProvider (similar to the below): See hazelcast-docker-swarm-dnsrr-discovery-spi-example.xml for an example with documentation of options.

Config conf =new ClasspathXmlConfig("yourHzConfig.xml");

HazelcastInstance hazelcastInstance = HazelcastInstanceFactory
        .newHazelcastInstance(conf,"myAppName",new DefaultNodeContext());

Option 3: Local network binding via SwarmAddressPicker

Note this the preferred method for Hazecast <= 3.8.x apps

Configure your hazelcast.xml configuration file to use the DockerSwarmDiscoveryStrategy (similar to the below): See hazelcast-docker-swarm-discovery-spi-example-address-picker.xml for an example with documentation of options.

import org.bitsofinfo.hazelcast.discovery.docker.swarm.SwarmAddressPicker;
...

Config conf =new ClasspathXmlConfig("yourHzConfig.xml");

NodeContext nodeContext = new DefaultNodeContext() {
    @Override
    public AddressPicker createAddressPicker(Node node) {
        return new SwarmAddressPicker(new ILogger() {
            // you provide the impl... or use provided "SystemPrintLogger"
        });
    }
};

HazelcastInstance hazelcastInstance = HazelcastInstanceFactory
        .newHazelcastInstance(conf,"myAppName",nodeContext);

If a local network binding option is chosen, proceed with the below:

Create a Docker image for your application that uses Hazelcast
Create an overlay network for your service, docker network create -d overlay [name]
Launch your services via docker service create against your Docker Swarm cluster:

Note this example command assumes an entrypoint script exists that execs the java command. Your DOCKER_HOST must be accessible over http (i.e. daemons listening on the tcp:// socket

NOTE! All -D java System properties below can be omitted and alternatively defined within the <member-address-provider> Hazelcast XML configuration stanza itself. You can mix/match combination of -D defined properties and those defined in Hazelcast XML. Properties defined in Hazelcast XMl take priority.

    -DskipVerifySsl=[true|false] \
    -DlogAllServiceNamesOnFailedDiscovery=[true|false] \
    -jar /test.jar

**1.0-RC14+ ONLY: Optionally, strictDockerServiceNameComparison

docker service create \
    --network [mynet] \
    --name myHzService1 \
    -l myLabel1=value1 \
    -l myLabel2=value2 \
    [yourappimage] \
    java \
    -DdockerNetworkNames=[mynet] \
    -DdockerServiceNames=myHzService1 \
    -DdockerServiceLabels="myLabel1=value1,myLabel2=value2" \
    -DhazelcastPeerPort=5701 \
    -DswarmMgrUri=http(s)://[swarmmgr]:[port] \
    -DskipVerifySsl=[true|false] \
    -DlogAllServiceNamesOnFailedDiscovery=[true|false] \
    -DstrictDockerServiceNameComparison=[true|false] \
    -jar /test.jar

NOTE! All -D java System properties above can be omitted and alternatively defined within the <member-address-provider> Hazelcast XML configuration stanza itself. You can mix/match combination of -D defined properties and those defined in Hazelcast XML. Properties defined in Hazelcast XMl take priority.

NOTE! Use the optional logAllServiceNamesOnFailedDiscovery property with caution. If your target swarm cluster contains many services this call may result in logging a considerable amount of un-related docker service names.

Building from source

From the root of this project, build a Jar : ./gradlew jar
Include the built jar artifact located at build/libs/hazelcast-docker-swarm-discovery-spi-[VERSION].jar in your hazelcast project
If not already present in your hazelcast application's Maven (pom.xml) or Gradle (build.gradle) dependencies section; ensure that these dependencies are present (versions may vary as appropriate):

compile group: 'com.spotify', name: 'docker-client', version: '8.7.3'

Unit-tests

There are really no traditional Java "unit tests" for this SPI due to its reliance on Docker.

There is however a Travis CI test that properly validates the SPI functionality in a real Docker swarm environment that brings up a single instance, scales it to 10 hazelcast nodes and then back down to 2 nodes. Demonstrating the proper discovery of peer hazelcast members.

See the .travis.yml file for the full details.

Troubleshooting

If you get an exception (e.g. AbstractMethodError), this may have been caused by having jersey-common library twice. (One from the plugin itself -as a transitive dependency- and the other from the shaded docker-client library. In such a case you may add an exclusion to your project's build file.

For maven:

  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.bitsofinfo</groupId>
    <artifactId>hazelcast-docker-swarm-discovery-spi</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-RC13</version>
    <exclusions>
      <exclusion>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.core</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-common</artifactId>
      </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
  </dependency>

For gradle:

  compile('org.bitsofinfo:hazelcast-docker-swarm-discovery-spi:1.0-RC13') {
    exclude module: 'jersey-common'
  }
