Class Summary
AbstractConnectionMap<V extends Connection>
BasicConnectionTable: Shared class for TCP connection tables.
Cache<K,V>: Simple cache which maintains keys and value.
Cache.Value<V>
ConnectionTableNIO: Manages incoming and outgoing TCP connections.
ConnectionTableNIO.MyFuture
ConnectionTableNIO.SelectorWriteHandler
ConnectionTableNIO.WriteRequest
DistributedLockManager: Deprecated. Succeessor is `LockService`.
DistributedLockManager.AcquireLockDecree: This class represents the lock to be released.
DistributedLockManager.LockDecree: This class represents the lock
DistributedLockManager.MultiLockDecree: This class represents the lock that has to be marked as multilocked
DistributedLockManager.ReleaseLockDecree: This class represents the lock to be released.
DistributedQueue: Provides the abstraction of a java.util.LinkedList that is replicated at several locations.
DistributedTree: A tree-like structure that is replicated across several members.
GridFile: Subclass of File to iterate through directories and files in a grid
GridFile.Metadata
GridFilesystem: Entry point for GridFile and GridInputStream / GridOutputStream
GridInputStream
GridOutputStream
GroupRequest: Sends a message to all members of the group and waits for all responses (or timeout).
LazyRemovalCache<K,V>: Cache which doesn't remove elements on remove(), removeAll() or retainAll(), but only removes elements when a configurable size limit has been exceeded.
LazyRemovalSet<V>: Hash set which doesn't remove elements on remove(), removeAll() or retainAll(), but only removes elements when a configurable size limit has been exceeded.
LazyRemovalSet.Entry<V>
MembershipListenerAdapter: This class provides multiplexing possibilities for `MembershipListener` instances.
MemcachedConnector: Class which listens on a server socket for memcached clients, reads the requests, forwards them to an instance of PartitionedHashMap and sends the response.
MemcachedConnector.Request
MessageDispatcher: Provides synchronous and asynchronous message sending with request-response correlation; i.e., matching responses with the original request.
MessageListenerAdapter: This class provides multiplexing possibilities for `MessageListener` instances.
MethodCall: A method call is the JGroups representation of a remote method.
MultiRequest: Sends a request to multiple destinations.
NotificationBus: Deprecated. Will be pulled in 3.0, use a JChannel directly instead
PartitionedHashMap<K,V>: Hashmap which distributes its keys and values across the cluster.
PartitionedHashMap.ArrayBasedConsistentHashFunction<K>: Uses arrays to store hash values of addresses, plus addresses.
PartitionedHashMap.ConsistentHashFunction<K>
PullPushAdapter: Deprecated. Use `Receiver` instead, this class will be removed in JGroups 3.0
PullPushAdapter.PullHeader
ReplCache<K,V>: Cache which allows for replication factors per data items; the factor determines how many replicas of a key/value we create across the cluster. See doc/design/ReplCache.txt for details.
ReplCache.ConsistentHashFunction<K>
ReplCache.Value<V>: Uses arrays to store hash values of addresses, plus addresses.
ReplicatedHashMap<K extends Serializable,V extends Serializable>: Subclass of a `ConcurrentHashMap` with replication of the contents across a cluster.
ReplicatedTree: A tree-like structure that is replicated across several members.
ReplicatedTree.Node
Request: Abstract class for a unicast or multicast request
RequestCorrelator: Framework to send requests and receive matching responses (matching on request ID).
RequestCorrelator.Header: The header for `RequestCorrelator` messages
RequestCorrelator.MultiDestinationHeader
RequestOptions: Class which captures a bunch of options relevant to remote method invocation or message sending
RpcDispatcher: This class allows a programmer to invoke remote methods in all (or single) group members and optionally wait for the return value(s).
RpcDispatcher.MarshallerAdapter: Used to provide a Marshaller2 interface to a Marshaller.
TCPConnectionMap
TwoPhaseVotingAdapter: This adapter introduces simple two-phase voting on a specified decree.
TwoPhaseVotingAdapter.TwoPhaseVoteWrapper
TwoPhaseVotingAdapter.TwoPhaseWrapper: Wrapper of the decree to voting decree.
UnicastRequest<T>: Sends a request to a single target destination
VotingAdapter: Voting adapter provides a voting functionality for an application.
VotingAdapter.FailureVoteResult: Class that represents a result of local voting on the failed node.
VotingAdapter.VoteResult: This class represents the result of local voting.

Enum Summary
MemcachedConnector.Request.Type

Exception Summary
LockingException
LockMultiLockedException: Thrown by the `DistributedLockManager.unlock(Object, Object, boolean)` method if a lock is only locally released, because it is locked by multiple DistributedLockManagers.
LockNotGrantedException: This exception indicated that lock manager refused to give a lock on some resource.
LockNotReleasedException: This exception indicated that lock manager refused to release a lock on some resource.
UpdateException
VoteException: This exception is thrown when voting listener cannot vote on the specified decree.

## Package org.jgroups.blocks Description

Provides building blocks that are layered on top of channels. Most of them do not even need a channel, all they need is a class that implements interface Transport (channels do). This enables them to work on any type of group transport that obeys this interface. Building blocks can be used instead of channels whenever a higher-level interface is required. Whereas channels are simple socket-like constructs, building blocks may offer a far more sophisticated interface. In some cases, building blocks offer access to the underlying channel, so that - if the building block at hand does not offer a certain functionality - the channel can be accessed directly.
