ScyllaDB Docs ScyllaDB Node.js Driver API Reference Modules policies
For AI agents: a documentation index is available at https://nodejs-rs-driver.docs.scylladb.com/main/llms.txt. A Markdown version of this page is at https://nodejs-rs-driver.docs.scylladb.com/main/api/policies/index.md.

Caution

You're viewing documentation for an unstable version of ScyllaDB Node.js Driver. Switch to the latest stable version.

policies¶

Contains driver tuning policies to determine load balancing, retrying queries, reconnecting to a node, address resolution, timestamp generation and speculative execution.

Source

policies/index.ts, line 3

Methods¶

(inner) defaultAddressTranslator()

Returns a new instance of the default address translator policy used by the driver.

Source

policies/index.ts, line 30

(inner) defaultLoadBalancingPolicy(localDc)

Returns a new instance of the default load-balancing policy used by the driver.

Parameters:

Name Type Description
localDc

When provided, it explicitly sets the data center that is going to be used as local for the load-balancing policy instance, with dc failover disabled. This value takes precedence over ClientOptions.localDataCenter.

When localDc is undefined, null, or empty, the policy has no explicit data-center preference. If the policy is used by a client, ClientOptions.localDataCenter supplies the fallback preference. The policy is not data-center aware when neither value is provided.

Source

policies/index.ts, line 44

(inner) defaultReconnectionPolicy()

Returns a new instance of the default reconnection policy used by the driver.

Source

policies/index.ts, line 75

(inner) defaultRetryPolicy()

Returns a new instance of the default retry policy used by the driver.

Source

policies/index.ts, line 68

(inner) defaultSpeculativeExecutionPolicy()

Returns a new instance of the default speculative execution policy used by the driver.

Source

policies/index.ts, line 86

(inner) defaultTimestampGenerator()

Returns a new instance of the default timestamp generator used by the driver.

Source

policies/index.ts, line 93
