A Vector Clock
_ is a data structure and algorithm for detecting partial ordering of events in
distributed systems. This is an implementation for Rust.
Usage
Add vectorclock
to your Cargo.toml:
.. code:: toml
[dependencies] vectorclock = "*"
The data structure is contained in the VectorClock<HostType>
generic struct. You specialize this
struct based on how you identify your processes, via IP addresses, usernames, Uuids, or anything
else.
Look at the tests in clock.rs_ for usage examples.
