What distributed process registries are available for Erlang?

Question

I\'d like to compile a reasonably complete list of distributed process registry libraries for Erlang.

Such libraries need to support basic operations like register

Answer 1

Regarding Riak PG:

It's mainly considered a "work in progress," because it was the result of some research that wasn't tested in production. Here's a link to the Erlang Workshop 13 paper.

If anyone has any questions regarding Core, or using PG in particular, I'd be happy to help out any way that I can.

Answer 2

I would argue that riak_core is such. I use its partition ring + consistent hashing to find the node, together with a local gproc instance to find the exact process. Thus I get very fine balance between fault tolerance, availability and speed.

Answer 3

Locker is used in several projects at wooga for registering processes.

Riak PG is a "work in progress" alternative to pg2. The source code also serves as a nice example of how to use riak_core.
