Support for Failover and Load Balancing

The UnboundID LDAP SDK for Java provides a mechanism that can be used to manage connections across multiple servers. This can be used to provide basic support for failover and load balancing, and it can be used for single connections as well as connection pools (so a single connection pool may contain connections to multiple servers, effectively balancing the load across those servers).

The abstract ServerSet class defines the basic API used to provide this functionality. At present, the following implementations are available:

Additional implementations are planned for the future, and developers can create their own custom implementations as well.

Note that the failover server set can also provide failover across server sets, so it is possible to define more complex configurations (e.g., if possible, use round-robin load balancing across servers in the local data center, but if none of them are available then fail over to a round-robin set of servers in a remote data center).
