VClock

VClock is an experimental vector clock implemented in Rust.

It offers a partial order of events in a distributed system. In practice, it implements the rust partial order trait over hash maps which maintain an integer count of each modification, per key.

Status

For now this is a toy project, clearly NOT suitable for production use.

Usage

use vclock::VClock;

let c1 = VClock::new("a");     // c1 is now a:1
let mut c2 = VClock::new("b"); // c2 is now b:1
c2.incr("a");                  // c1 is now a:1,b:1
assert!(c1 < c2, "c1 is a parent of c2");
