*Since Camel {since}*

*{component-header}*

http://belaban.github.io/jgroups-raft/[JGroups-raft] is a https://raftconsensus.github.io/[Raft] implementation in http://www.jgroups.org/[JGroups].
The *jgroups-raft:* component provides interoperability between camel and a JGroups-raft clusters.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their `pom.xml`
for this component.

[source,xml]
------------------------------------------------------------
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-jgroups-raft</artifactId>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
    <version>x.y.z</version>
</dependency>
------------------------------------------------------------

== URI format

[source,java]
-----------------------------
jgroups-raft:clusterName[?options]
-----------------------------

Where *clusterName* represents the name of the JGroups-raft cluster the
component should connect to.

== Options

// component options: START
The JGroups raft component supports 7 options, which are listed below.



[width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"]
|===
| Name | Description | Default | Type
| *channelProperties* (common) | Specifies configuration properties of the RaftHandle JChannel used by the endpoint (ignored if raftHandle ref is provided). | raft.xml | String
| *raftHandle* (common) | RaftHandle to use. |  | RaftHandle
| *raftId* (common) | *Required* Unique raftId to use. |  | String
| *stateMachine* (common) | StateMachine to use. | NopStateMachine | StateMachine
| *bridgeErrorHandler* (consumer) | Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. | false | boolean
| *lazyStartProducer* (producer) | Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel's routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing. | false | boolean
| *autowiredEnabled* (advanced) | Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc. | true | boolean

// component options: END

// endpoint options: START
The JGroups raft endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

----
jgroups-raft:clusterName
----

with the following path and query parameters:

=== Path Parameters (1 parameters):


[width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"]
|===
| Name | Description | Default | Type
| *clusterName* | *Required* The name of the JGroupsraft cluster the component should connect to. |  | String
|===


=== Query Parameters (5 parameters):


[width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"]
|===
| Name | Description | Default | Type
| *bridgeErrorHandler* (consumer) | Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. | false | boolean
| *enableRoleChangeEvents* (consumer) | If set to true, the consumer endpoint will receive roleChange event as well (not just connecting and/or using the state machine). By default it is set to false. | false | boolean
| *exceptionHandler* (consumer) | To let the consumer use a custom ExceptionHandler. Notice if the option bridgeErrorHandler is enabled then this option is not in use. By default the consumer will deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. |  | ExceptionHandler
| *exchangePattern* (consumer) | Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange. There are 3 enums and the value can be one of: InOnly, InOut, InOptionalOut |  | ExchangePattern
| *lazyStartProducer* (producer) | Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel's routing error handlers.

== Usage

Using `jgroups-raft` component with `enableRoleChangeEvents=true` on the consumer side of the route will capture
change in JGroups-raft role and forward them to the Camel route.
JGroups-raft consumer processes incoming messages
http://camel.apache.org/asynchronous-routing-engine.html[asynchronously].

[source,java]
----------------------------------------------
// Capture raft role changes from cluster named
// 'clusterName' and send them to Camel route.
from("jgroups-raft:clusterName?enableRoleChangeEvents=true").to("seda:queue");
----------------------------------------------

Using `jgroups-raft` component on the producer side of the route will use the body of the camel exchange (which must be a `byte[]`)
to perform a setX() operation on the raftHandle associated with the endpoint..

[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
// perform a setX() operation to the cluster named 'clusterName' shared state machine
from("direct:start").to("jgroups-raft:clusterName");
--------------------------------------------------

== Examples

=== Receive cluster view change notifications

The snippet below demonstrates how to create the consumer endpoint
listening to the change role events. By default this option is off.

[source,java]
---------------------------------------------------------------------
...
from("jgroups-raft:clusterName?enableRoleChangeEvents=true").to(mock:mockEndpoint);
...
---------------------------------------------------------------------

=== Keeping singleton route within the cluster

The snippet below demonstrates how to keep the singleton consumer route
in the cluster of Camel Contexts. As soon as the master node dies, one
of the slaves will be elected as a new master and started. In this
particular example we want to keep singleton xref:jetty-component.adoc[jetty]
instance listening for the requests on
address` http://localhost:8080/orders`.

[source,java]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JGroupsRaftClusterService service = new JGroupsRaftClusterService();
service.setId("raftId");
service.setRaftId("raftId");
service.setJgroupsClusterName("clusterName");
...
context.addService(service);

from("master:mycluster:jetty:http://localhost:8080/orders").to("jms:orders");
