HLC class

A hybrid logical clock implementation with string-based nodes.

Implemented types

• Comparable<HLC>

Constructors

HLC({required int timestamp, required int count, required String node})

Constructs an HLC from the given parameters.

Properties

count → int

The clock's event count, which breaks ties in the case of identical clocks.

final

hashCode → int

The hash code for this object.

no setter, override

node → String

This node's name (or ID), which breaks ties in the case of identical counts.

final

runtimeType → Type

A representation of the runtime type of the object.

no setter, inherited

timestamp → int

The clock's timestamp.

final

Methods

compareTo(HLC other) → int

Compares this object to another object.

override

copy({int? timestamp, int? count, String? node}) → HLC

Constructs a copy of this HLC with the given parameters.

increment() → HLC

Produces the next, local clock.

noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic

Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.

inherited

pack() → String

Encodes this HLC into a string representation whose topological ordering is equivalent to that of the original HLC.

receive(HLC remote, {Duration? maximumDrift, int? now}) → HLC

Synchronizes with a given remote clock.

toString() → String

A string representation of this object.

override

Operators

operator ==(dynamic other) → bool

The equality operator.

override

Static Properties

delimiter ↔ String

The delimiter used for packing and unpacking this HLC in a string.

getter/setter pair

Static Methods

now(String node) → HLC

Constructs an initial HLC using the current wall clock.

unpack(String packed) → HLC

Decodes an HLC previously packed with pack, else fails with a FormatException.
