Package glock implements locking against a variety of backends for the Go programming language.

glock is released under the MIT license.

WARN: this package is under heavy development, API is not stable yet.

• Redis

  Simple Redis implementation. Requires redis >= 2.6 as it uses lua scripting.
  This implementation is safe only if used againt a single master, with no replication.

• Cassandra

  Cassandra implementation, inspired by datastax's "Consensus on Cassandra" blogpost.
  Requires cassandra >= 2.0 as it uses lightweight transactions.

• Memory

  Naive in-process implementation, only useful for testing.

go get gopkg.in/gbagnoli/glock.v1

By default, tests runs only using the memory driver. To run test for one or more specific backend, use build tags.

go test -tags="redis cassandra"

1. Add more tests
2. Add more documentation
3. Add more backends (in no particular order)

• ZooKeeper
• etcd
• consul
• redis redlock
