		898	=head1 DISTRIBUTED DATABASE
		899
		900	AnyEvent::MP comes with a simple distributed database. The database will
		901	be mirrored asynchronously on all global nodes. Other nodes bind to one
		902	of the global nodes for their needs. Every node has a "local database"
		903	which contains all the values that are set locally. All local databases
		904	are merged together to form the global database, which can be queried.
		905
		906	The database structure is that of a two-level hash - the database hash
		907	contains hashes which contain values, similarly to a perl hash of hashes,
		908	i.e.:
		909
		910	$DATABASE{$family}{$subkey} = $value
		911
		912	The top level hash key is called "family", and the second-level hash key
		913	is called "subkey" or simply "key".
		914
		915	The family must be alphanumeric, i.e. start with a letter and consist
		916	of letters, digits, underscores and colons (C<[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_:]*>,
		917	pretty much like Perl module names.
		918
		919	As the family namespace is global, it is recommended to prefix family names
		920	with the name of the application or module using it.
		921
		922	The subkeys must be non-empty strings, with no further restrictions.
		923
		924	The values should preferably be strings, but other perl scalars should
		925	work as well (such as C<undef>, arrays and hashes).
		926
		927	Every database entry is owned by one node - adding the same family/subkey
		928	combination on multiple nodes will not cause discomfort for AnyEvent::MP,
		929	but the result might be nondeterministic, i.e. the key might have
		930	different values on different nodes.
		931
		932	Different subkeys in the same family can be owned by different nodes
		933	without problems, and in fact, this is the common method to create worker
		934	pools. For example, a worker port for image scaling might do this:
		935
		936	db_set my_image_scalers => $port;
		937
		938	And clients looking for an image scaler will want to get the
		939	C<my_image_scalers> keys from time to time:
		940
		941	db_keys my_image_scalers => sub {
		942	@ports = @{ $_[0] };
		943	};
		944
		945	Or better yet, they want to monitor the database family, so they always
		946	have a reasonable up-to-date copy:
		947
		948	db_mon my_image_scalers => sub {
		949	@ports = keys %{ $_[0] };
		950	};
		951
		952	In general, you can set or delete single subkeys, but query and monitor
		953	whole families only.
		954
		955	If you feel the need to monitor or query a single subkey, try giving it
		956	it's own family.
		957
		958	=over
		959
		960	=item $guard = db_set $family => $subkey [=> $value]
		961
		962	Sets (or replaces) a key to the database - if C<$value> is omitted,
		963	C<undef> is used instead.
		964
		965	When called in non-void context, C<db_set> returns a guard that
		966	automatically calls C<db_del> when it is destroyed.
		967
		968	=item db_del $family => $subkey...
		969
		970	Deletes one or more subkeys from the database family.
		971
		972	=item $guard = db_reg $family => $port => $value
		973
		974	=item $guard = db_reg $family => $port
		975
		976	=item $guard = db_reg $family
		977
		978	Registers a port in the given family and optionally returns a guard to
		979	remove it.
		980
		981	This function basically does the same as:
		982
		983	db_set $family => $port => $value
		984
		985	Except that the port is monitored and automatically removed from the
		986	database family when it is kil'ed.
		987
		988	If C<$value> is missing, C<undef> is used. If C<$port> is missing, then
		989	C<$SELF> is used.
		990
		991	This function is most useful to register a port in some port group (which
		992	is just another name for a database family), and have it removed when the
		993	port is gone. This works best when the port is a local port.

		1024
		1025	=item $guard = db_mon $family => $cb->($familyhash, \@added, \@changed, \@deleted)
		1026
		1027	Creates a monitor on the given database family. Each time a key is set
		1028	or or is deleted the callback is called with a hash containing the
		1029	database family and three lists of added, changed and deleted subkeys,
		1030	respectively. If no keys have changed then the array reference might be
		1031	C<undef> or even missing.
		1032
		1033	If not called in void context, a guard object is returned that, when
		1034	destroyed, stops the monitor.
		1035
		1036	The family hash reference and the key arrays belong to AnyEvent::MP and
		1037	B<must not be modified or stored> by the callback. When in doubt, make a
		1038	copy.
		1039
		1040	As soon as possible after the monitoring starts, the callback will be
		1041	called with the intiial contents of the family, even if it is empty,

		1243	=head1 PORTING FROM AnyEvent::MP VERSION 1.X
		1244
		1245	AEMP version 2 has a few major incompatible changes compared to version 1:
		1246
		1247	=over 4
		1248
		1249	=item AnyEvent::MP::Global no longer has group management functions.
		1250
		1251	At least not officially - the grp_* functions are still exported and might
		1252	work, but they will be removed in some later release.
		1253
		1254	AnyEvent::MP now comes with a distributed database that is more
		1255	powerful. Its database families map closely to port groups, but the API
		1256	has changed (the functions are also now exported by AnyEvent::MP). Here is
		1257	a rough porting guide:
		1258
		1259	grp_reg $group, $port # old
		1260	db_reg $group, $port # new
		1261
		1262	$list = grp_get $group # old
		1263	db_keys $group, sub { my $list = shift } # new
		1264
		1265	grp_mon $group, $cb->(\@ports, $add, $del) # old
		1266	db_mon $group, $cb->(\%ports, $add, $change, $del) # new
		1267
		1268	C<grp_reg> is a no-brainer (just replace by C<db_reg>), but C<grp_get> is
		1269	no longer instant, because the local node might not have a copy of the
		1270	group. You can either modify your code to allow for a callback, or use
		1271	C<db_mon> to keep an updated copy of the group:
		1272
		1273	my $local_group_copy;
		1274	db_mon $group => sub { $local_group_copy = $_[0] };
		1275
		1276	# now "keys %$local_group_copy" always returns the most up-to-date
		1277	# list of ports in the group.
		1278
		1279	C<grp_mon> can be replaced by C<db_mon> with minor changes - C<db_mon>
		1280	passes a hash as first argument, and an extra C<$chg> argument that can be
		1281	ignored:
		1282
		1283	db_mon $group => sub {
		1284	my ($ports, $add, $chg, $lde) = @_;
		1285	$ports = [keys %$ports];
		1286
		1287	# now $ports, $add and $del are the same as
		1288	# were originally passed by grp_mon.
		1289	...
		1290	};
		1291
		1292	=item Nodes not longer connect to all other nodes.
		1293
		1294	In AEMP 1.x, every node automatically loads the L<AnyEvent::MP::Global>
		1295	module, which in turn would create connections to all other nodes in the
		1296	network (helped by the seed nodes).
		1297
		1298	In version 2.x, global nodes still connect to all other global nodes, but
		1299	other nodes don't - now every node either is a global node itself, or
		1300	attaches itself to another global node.
		1301
		1302	If a node isn't a global node itself, then it attaches itself to one
		1303	of its seed nodes. If that seed node isn't a global node yet, it will
		1304	automatically be upgraded to a global node.
		1305
		1306	So in many cases, nothing needs to be changed - one just has to make sure
		1307	that all seed nodes are meshed together with the other seed nodes (as with
		1308	AEMP 1.x), and other nodes specify them as seed nodes. This is most easily
		1309	achieved by specifying the same set of seed nodes for all nodes in the
		1310	network.
		1311
		1312	Not opening a connection to every other node is usually an advantage,
		1313	except when you need the lower latency of an already established
		1314	connection. To ensure a node establishes a connection to another node,
		1315	you can monitor the node port (C<mon $node, ...>), which will attempt to
		1316	create the connection (and notify you when the connection fails).
		1317
		1318	=item Listener-less nodes (nodes without binds) are gone.
		1319
		1320	And are not coming back, at least not in their old form. If no C<binds>
		1321	are specified for a node, AnyEvent::MP assumes a default of C<:>.
		1322
		1323	There are vague plans to implement some form of routing domains, which
		1324	might or might not bring back listener-less nodes, but don't count on it.
		1325
		1326	The fact that most connections are now optional somewhat mitigates this,
		1327	as a node can be effectively unreachable from the outside without any
		1328	problems, as long as it isn't a global node and only reaches out to other
		1329	nodes (as opposed to being contacted from other nodes).
		1330
		1331	=item $AnyEvent::MP::Kernel::WARN has gone.
		1332
		1333	AnyEvent has acquired a logging framework (L<AnyEvent::Log>), and AEMP now
		1334	uses this, and so should your programs.
		1335
		1336	Every module now documents what kinds of messages it generates, with
		1337	AnyEvent::MP acting as a catch all.
		1338
		1339	On the positive side, this means that instead of setting
		1340	C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MP_WARNLEVEL>, you can get away by setting C<AE_VERBOSE> -
		1341	much less to type.
		1342
		1343	=back
		1344
		1345	=head1 LOGGING
		1346
		1347	AnyEvent::MP does not normally log anything by itself, but sinc eit is the
		1348	root of the contetx hierarchy for AnyEvent::MP modules, it will receive
		1349	all log messages by submodules.
