Vector Clocks for Rust

.. image:: https://travis-ci.org/mhallin/vectorclock-rs.svg?branch=master :target: https://travis-ci.org/mhallin/vectorclock-rs

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.
