=== Session Clustering with Google Cloud Datastore
Jetty can support session clustering by persisting sessions to
https://cloud.google.com/datastore/docs/concepts/overview[Google Cloud
Datastore]. Each Jetty instance locally caches sessions for which it has
received requests, writing any changes to the session through to the
Datastore as the request exits the server. Sessions must obey the
Serialization contract, and servlets must call the
Session.setAttribute() method to ensure that changes are persisted.

data items, such as source IP address or characteristics of the session
ID or a load-balancer specific mechanism. For those load balancers that
examine the session ID, the Jetty persistent session mechanism appends a
node ID to the session ID, which can be used for routing.

==== The gcloud-sessions Module
When using the jetty distribution, to enable Cloud Datastore session
persistence, you will first need to enable the `gcloud-sessions`
link:#startup-modules[module] for your link:#creating-jetty-base[base]

link:#startup-overview[start.jar].

As part of the module installation, the necessary jars will be
dynamically downloaded and installed to your `${jetty.base}/lib/gcloud`
directory. If you need to up or downgrade the version of the jars, then
you can delete the jars that were automatically installed and replace
them. Once you've done that, you will need to prevent jetty's startup
checks from detecting the missing jars. To do that, you can use
`--skip-file-validation=glcoud-sessions` argument to start.jar on the
command line, or place that line inside `${jetty.base}/start.ini` to
ensure it is used for every start.

In this type of solution, the database can become both a bottleneck and
a single point of failure. Jetty takes steps to reduce the load on the
database (discussed below), but in a heavily loaded environment you
might need to investigate other optimization strategies such as local
caching and database replication. You should also consult your database
vendor's documentation for information on how to ensure high
availability and failover of your database.

=== Session Clustering with MongoDB
Jetty can support session clustering by persisting sessions into
http://www.mogodb.org[MongoDB]. Each Jetty instance locally caches
sessions for which it has received requests, writing any changes to the
session through to the cluster as the request exits the server. Sessions
must obey the Serialization contract, and servlets must call the
Session.setAttribute() method to ensure that changes are persisted.

Each Jetty instance locally caches sessions for which it has received requests, writing any changes to the session through to the cluster as the request exits the server.
Sessions must obey the Serialization contract, and servlets must call the `Session.setAttribute()` method to ensure that changes are persisted.
The session persistence mechanism works in conjunction with a load
balancer that supports stickiness. Stickiness can be based on various
data items, such as source IP address or characteristics of the session
ID or a load-balancer specific mechanism. For those load balancers that
examine the session ID, the Jetty persistent session mechanism appends a
node ID to the session ID, which can be used for routing.

In this type of solution, the traffic on the network needs to be
carefully watched and tends to be the bottleneck. You are probably
investigating this solution in order to scale to large amount of users
and sessions, so careful attention should be paid to your usage
scenario. Applications with a heavy write profile to their sessions will
consume more network bandwidth than profiles that are predominately read
oriented. We recommend using this session manager with largely read
based session scenarios.

There are two components to session management in Jetty: a session ID manager and a session manager.
* The session ID manager ensures that session IDs are unique across all
webapps hosted on a Jetty instance, and thus there should only be one
session ID manager per Jetty instance.
* The session manager handles the session lifecycle
(create/update/invalidate/expire) on behalf of a web application, so
there is one session manager per web application instance.

As part of the module installation, the necessary mongo java driver jars

version of these jars, then you can delete the jars that were
automatically installed and replace them. Once you've done that, you
will need to prevent jetty's startup checks from detecting the missing
jars. To do that, you can use `--skip-file-validation=nosql` argument to
start.jar on the command line, or place that line inside
`${jetty.base}/start.ini` to ensure it is used for every start.
