What's the difference between Node.js' Cluster module and Learnboost's Cluster module?

Question

Node.js itself has a core module called Cluster ( ref: http://nodejs.org/docs/v0.8.3/api/cluster.html ) and Learnboost has released a module that is also named Cluster (ref: http://learnboost.github.com/cluster/ https://github.com/LearnBoost/cluster ).

How do these two compare? Are they related in someway?

Answer 1

Nick Hagianis alredy said it, the cluster module of node.js was temporarily removed. As far as I can see the LearnBoost cluster module isn't developed actively any more. The issues list of the LearnBoost module is quite long.

The LearnBoost module has some features as zero-downtime restart that the internal module doesn't offer. But I'm not sure if it still works with current (0.8.x) versions of node. If you need similar features you may take a look at the Forever tool.

Answer 2

现在， 群集模块已重新添加到核心模块集中。
