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/v0.7.1/llms.txt. A Markdown version of this page is at https://nodejs-rs-driver.docs.scylladb.com/v0.7.1/api/policies/index.md.

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
