<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Pedro<br><br></div><div>When I split off the RebalancePolicy I was thinking that when a RebalancePolicy needs to collaborate with a ConsistentHashFactory, they should do so via another cache manager-scoped component.

Then RebalancePolicy could use this parameter to pass extra information to the CHF, like your Mappings object, and then when ClusterTopologyManagerImpl asks for a balanced CH, the CHF will include the Mappings in the result CH. What do you think?<br>
<br></div><div>In order to trigger the rebalance you have to call startRebalance, and the new ("balanced") consistent hash must not be equal to the existing consistent hash.

<br>
I'm working in a way to rebase auto-placer on top of NBST and I have one<br>
question...<br>
If you have already forgot, auto-placer analyzes the workload and tries<br>
to move the most remote accessed keys to the corresponding requester.<br>
<br>
After calculating the new mappings, I want to trigger the NBST with this<br>
mapping. I'm thinking to add a new method in the ClusterTopologyManager,<br>
something like:<br>
<br>
triggerAutoPlacer(String cacheName, Mappings newMappings);<br>
<br>
and this method it will be a duplicate of triggerRebalance but instead<br>
of doing chFactory.rebalance(CH) (in the startRebalance() method) I'm<br>
thinking to do chFactory.autoPlacer(CH, Mappings). The last method will<br>
override the defautl CH location.<br>
<br>
Question: will this solution trigger the NBST or do I have to create the<br>
triggerAutoPlacer() method in another class?<br>
<br>
ps. forget the methods names... I will think in better names later<br>
<br>
Thanks!!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Pedro<br>
