Currently, there is no way to dynamically chnage the algorithm or parmaters of the load balancer in the client. This can only be done statically in the configuration, whereas it is possible to change the server-side load balancing with the driver JMX APIs.

We propose to add 2 methods to JPPFClient to allow dynamic changes of its load-balancer, for instance:

public class JPPFClient {
  // change the load-balancer configuration
  public void setLoadBalancerConfig(LoadBalancingInformation currentInfo);
 
  // get the load-balancer configuration
  public LoadBalancingInformation getLoadBalancerConfig();
 
 ...
}
