Interface ConsistentHashingRouter.ConsistentHashable

All Known Implementing Classes:
ConsistentHashingRouter.ConsistentHashableEnvelope
Enclosing class:
ConsistentHashingRouter

public static interface ConsistentHashingRouter.ConsistentHashable

If you don't define the hashMapping when constructing the ConsistentHashingRouter the messages need to implement this interface to define what data to use for the consistent hash key. Note that it's not the hash, but the data to be hashed.

If returning an Array[Byte] or String it will be used as is, otherwise the configured Serializer will be applied to the returned data.

If messages can't implement this interface themselves, it's possible to wrap the messages in ConsistentHashingRouter.ConsistentHashableEnvelope, or use ConsistentHashingRouter.ConsistentHashableEnvelope
