ScyllaDB Docs ScyllaDB Node.js Driver API Reference Modules policies loadBalancing DefaultLoadBalancingPolicy

Caution

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

DefaultLoadBalancingPolicy¶

policies/loadBalancing~DefaultLoadBalancingPolicy(configopt)

This load balancing policy replicates the behavior of the Rust Driver Default Load Balancing Policy.

It can be configured to be datacenter-aware, rack-aware and token-aware. When the policy is datacenter-aware, you can configure whether to allow datacenter failover (sending query to a node from a remote datacenter).

Constructor¶

new DefaultLoadBalancingPolicy(configopt)

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
config LoadBalancingConfig <optional>

Source

policies/load-balancing.js, line 689

Methods¶

getOptions()

Gets an associative array containing the policy options.

Source

policies/load-balancing.js, line 708

(package) getRustConfiguration() → {_rust.LoadBalancingConfig}

Source

policies/load-balancing.js, line 716

Returns:
Type
_rust.LoadBalancingConfig
