Distributed lock using Redis written in Ruby

Redlock provides a ruby distributed lock using redis.

Distributed locks are a very useful primitive in many environments where different processes require to operate with shared resources in a mutually exclusive way.

There are a number of libraries and blog posts describing how to implement a DLM Distributed Lock Manager with Redis, but every library uses a different approach, and many use a simple approach with lower guarantees compared to what can be achieved with slightly more complex designs.

This is an implementation of a proposed distributed lock algorithm with Redis. It started as a fork from antirez implementation.
