Distributed synchronized execution

I'm trying to accomplish something that in terms of concept is very simple to understand. I want to synchronize a block of java code between different machines. There are two instances of a programa running in different machines that cannot run at the same time.

I've heard of zookeeper, jgroups and akka too, but while reading the documentation it seemed to me a bit overkill for what I'm trying to do. Does anyone have any idea if there's anything more straight forward to use?

Thanks in advance,

Rui

  • I think Hazelcast's Distributed Lock ( http://docs.hazelcast.org/docs/3.6/manual/html-single/index.html#lock ) may be helpful. Hazelcast is relatively lightweight so should hopefully not be overkill.
