ruby-zookeeper¶ ↑

A Ruby FFI binding for the Apache ZooKeeper C API library.

Status¶ ↑

Work in progress. Most major operations are implemented and working, but ACL get/set is not finished.

Platform-specific status as follows:

• MRI 1.9.1 OSX 10.5 and 10.6: working

• MRI Solaris 5.11: build env problems, more?

• MRI BSD: untested

• MRI Linux: untested

• JRuby 1.4.0: working, but contexts passed to async calls are getting munged…low priority but should be simple to fix

To do: github.com/ce/ruby-zookeeper/issues

Also note progress and status in issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-661.

Prerequisites¶ ↑

• ruby-ffi: github.com/ffi/ffi/

Installation¶ ↑

ruby-zookeeper is currently NOT packaged, and requires patches to the ZooKeeper multithreaded C API library. The patched source is included in zk/src/c.

To build ZK C API libs (include-dir and lib-dir paths are correct on my system OSX+MacPorts, YMMV):

$ cd zk/src/c
$ autoreconf -f -i
$ ./configure --enable-ruby \
  --with-ruby-include-dir=/opt/local/include/ruby-1.9.1 \
  --with-ruby-lib-dir=/opt/local/lib
$ gmake

To run (e.g. specs):

$ ZOOKEEPER_LIB=zk/src/c/.libs/libzookeeper_mt.dylib spec . -cfn
