etcd is a key-value DB written in Go. It has an HTTP API, which this R package wraps.

Make a client

First task when using this package is to initialize a client with the etcd() function. it's a wrapper around an R6 class.

(client <- etcd())
#> <etcd client>
#>   host: 127.0.0.1
#>   port: 2379
#>   api_version: v2
#>   scheme: http
#>   allow redirect: TRUE

Default settings in etcd() connect you to localhost, and port 2379, using etcd API version 2, with an http scheme.

Get version

client$version()
#> $etcdserver
#> [1] "3.0.7"
#> 
#> $etcdcluster
#> [1] "3.0.0"

Create a directory

client$create("/neighbor", dir = TRUE)
#> $action
#> [1] "set"
#> 
#> $node
#> $node$key
#> [1] "/neighbor"
#> 
#> $node$dir
#> [1] TRUE
#> 
#> $node$modifiedIndex
#> [1] 156
#> 
#> $node$createdIndex
#> [1] 156

Create a key

client$create(key = "/mykey", value = "this is awesome")
#> $action
#> [1] "set"
#> 
#> $node
#> $node$key
#> [1] "/mykey"
#> 
#> $node$value
#> [1] "this is awesome"
#> 
#> $node$modifiedIndex
#> [1] 158
#> 
#> $node$createdIndex
#> [1] 158

Use ttl parameter to make it dissappear after x seconds

client$create(key = "/stuff", value = "tables", ttl = 5)
#> $action
#> [1] "set"
#> 
#> $node
#> $node$key
#> [1] "/stuff"
#> 
#> $node$value
#> [1] "tables"
#> 
#> $node$expiration
#> [1] "2016-09-07T17:21:08.993528228Z"
#> 
#> $node$ttl
#> [1] 5
#> 
#> $node$modifiedIndex
#> [1] 159
#> 
#> $node$createdIndex
#> [1] 159

And the key will be gone after 5 seconds, see:

client$key("/stuff")
#> Error in etcd_GET(sprintf("%s%s/%s/", etcdbase(), "keys", key), ...) :
#>   client error: (404) Not Found

Update a key

Create a key

client$create(key = "/foo", value = "bar")
#> $action
#> [1] "set"
#> 
#> $node
#> $node$key
#> [1] "/foo"
#> 
#> $node$value
#> [1] "bar"
#> 
#> $node$modifiedIndex
#> [1] 161
#> 
#> $node$createdIndex
#> [1] 161

Then update the key

client$update(key = "/foo", value = "bar stool")
#> $action
#> [1] "set"
#> 
#> $node
#> $node$key
#> [1] "/foo"
#> 
#> $node$value
#> [1] "bar stool"
#> 
...

Create in-order keys

client$create_inorder("/queue", "thing1")
#> $action
#> [1] "create"
#> 
#> $node
#> $node$key
#> [1] "/queue/00000000000000000163"
#> 
#> $node$value
#> [1] "thing1"
#> 
#> $node$modifiedIndex
#> [1] 163
#> 
#> $node$createdIndex
#> [1] 163

client$create_inorder("/queue", "thing2")
#> $action
#> [1] "create"
#> 
#> $node
#> $node$key
#> [1] "/queue/00000000000000000164"
#> 
#> $node$value
#> [1] "thing2"
#> 
#> $node$modifiedIndex
#> [1] 164
#> 
#> $node$createdIndex
#> [1] 164

client$create_inorder("/queue", "thing3")
#> $action
#> [1] "create"
#> 
#> $node
#> $node$key
#> [1] "/queue/00000000000000000165"
#> 
#> $node$value
#> [1] "thing3"
#> 
#> $node$modifiedIndex
#> [1] 165
#> 
#> $node$createdIndex
#> [1] 165

List keys

client$keys()
#> $action
#> [1] "get"
#> 
#> $node
#> $node$dir
#> [1] TRUE
#> 
#> $node$nodes
#> $node$nodes[[1]]
#> $node$nodes[[1]]$key
...

List a key

client$key("/mykey")
#> $action
#> [1] "get"
#> 
#> $node
#> $node$key
#> [1] "/mykey"
#> 
#> $node$value
#> [1] "this is awesome"
#> 
#> $node$modifiedIndex
#> [1] 158
#> 
#> $node$createdIndex
#> [1] 158
