###How to build:

$ go build

Show usage:

$ ./gog -h

Run a standalone node:

$ ./gog

To join an existing cluster:

1. Form a two-node-cluster

   $ ./gog -addr="localhost:8000" -rest-addr="localhost:8001"
   $ ./gog -addr="localhost:8002" -rest-addr="localhost:8003"
   

2. Let the first node join the second node

   $ curl http://localhost:8001/api/join -d peer=localhost:8002
   

3. Show the view in the first node

   $ curl http://localhost:8001/api/list
   {"active_view":[{"id":"localhost:8002","address":"localhost:8002"}],"passive_view":[]}
   

You can also provide a json file contains a list of nodes:

$ cat peers.json
["localhost:8000", "localhost:8001", "localhost:8002", "localhost:8003"]

$ curl -d @peers.json -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8001/api/join

To broadcast a message:

$ curl http://localhost:8001/api/broadcast -d message=hello
