Method Detail

acquire

void acquire()
             throws Exception

Acquire the mutex - blocking until it's available. Each call to acquire must be balanced by a call to release()

Throws:

Exception - ZK errors, connection interruptions

acquire

boolean acquire(long time,
                TimeUnit unit)
                throws Exception

Acquire the mutex - blocks until it's available or the given time expires. Each call to acquire that returns true must be balanced by a call to release()

Parameters:

time - time to wait

unit - time unit

Returns:

true if the mutex was acquired, false if not

Throws:

Exception - ZK errors, connection interruptions

release

void release()
             throws Exception

Perform one release of the mutex.

Throws:

Exception - ZK errors, interruptions, current thread does not own the lock

isAcquiredInThisProcess

boolean isAcquiredInThisProcess()

Returns true if the mutex is acquired by a thread in this JVM

Returns:

true/false
