893 | =head1 DISTRIBUTED DATABASE |
|
|
894 | |
|
|
895 | AnyEvent::MP comes with a simple distributed database. The database will |
|
|
896 | be mirrored asynchronously at all global nodes. Other nodes bind to one of |
|
|
897 | the global nodes for their needs. |
|
|
898 | |
|
|
899 | The database consists of a two-level hash - a hash contains a hash which |
|
|
900 | contains values. |
|
|
901 | |
|
|
902 | The top level hash key is called "family", and the second-level hash key |
|
|
903 | is called "subkey" or simply "key". |
|
|
904 | |
|
|
905 | The family must be alphanumeric, i.e. start with a letter and consist |
|
|
906 | of letters, digits, underscores and colons (C<[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_:]*>, |
|
|
907 | pretty much like Perl module names. |
|
|
908 | |
|
|
909 | As the family namespace is global, it is recommended to prefix family names |
|
|
910 | with the name of the application or module using it. |
|
|
911 | |
|
|
912 | The subkeys must be non-empty strings, with no further restrictions. |
|
|
913 | |
|
|
914 | The values should preferably be strings, but other perl scalars should |
|
|
915 | work as well (such as undef, arrays and hashes). |
|
|
916 | |
|
|
917 | Every database entry is owned by one node - adding the same family/subkey |
|
|
918 | combination on multiple nodes will not cause discomfort for AnyEvent::MP, |
|
|
919 | but the result might be nondeterministic, i.e. the key might have |
|
|
920 | different values on different nodes. |
|
|
921 | |
|
|
922 | Different subkeys in the same family can be owned by different nodes |
|
|
923 | without problems, and in fact, this is the common method to create worker |
|
|
924 | pools. For example, a worker port for image scaling might do this: |
|
|
925 | |
|
|
926 | db_set my_image_scalers => $port; |
|
|
927 | |
|
|
928 | And clients looking for an image scaler will want to get the |
|
|
929 | C<my_image_scalers> keys: |
|
|
930 | |
|
|
931 | db_keys "my_image_scalers" => 60 => sub { |
|
|
932 | #d##TODO# |
|

933 | |
|
|
934 | =over |
|
|
935 | |
|
|
936 | =item db_set $family => $subkey [=> $value] |
|
|
937 | |
|
|
938 | Sets (or replaces) a key to the database - if C<$value> is omitted, |
|
|
939 | C<undef> is used instead. |
|
|
940 | |
|
|
941 | =item db_del $family => $subkey |
|
|
942 | |
|
|
943 | Deletes a key from the database. |
|
|
944 | |
|
|
945 | =item $guard = db_reg $family => $subkey [=> $value] |
|
|
946 | |
|
|
947 | Sets the key on the database and returns a guard. When the guard is |
|
|
948 | destroyed, the key is deleted from the database. If C<$value> is missing, |
|
|
949 | then C<undef> is used. |
