GoVector | Vector clock logging library for Go

GoVector is a Go library. GoVector has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

GoVector is a vector clock logging library written in Go. The vector clock algorithm is used to order events in distributed systems in the absence of a centralized clock. GoVector implements the vector clock algorithm and provides feature-rich logging and encoding infrastructure. Vector clock events are generated using 3 key functions, PrepareSend, UnpackReceive, and LogLocalEvent. PrepareSend encodes messages for network transport, updates GoVectors local time, and logs a sending event. UnpackReceive decodes messages from the network, merges GoVectors local clock with the received clock, and logs a receiving event. LogLocalEvent event ticks the clock, and logs a message. This library can be added to a Go project to generate a ShiViz-compatible vector-clock timestamped log of events in a concurrent or distributed system. This library can also be used to generate TSViz-compatible log of events. GoVector is compatible with Go 1.11+ and requires support for Go modules.
