		108	doesn't interpret node IDs in any way except to uniquely identify a node.
		109
		110	=item binds - C<ip:port>
		111
		112	Nodes can only talk to each other by creating some kind of connection to
		113	each other. To do this, nodes should listen on one or more local transport
		114	endpoints - binds.
		115
		116	Currently, only standard C<ip:port> specifications can be used, which
		117	specify TCP ports to listen on. So a bind is basically just a tcp socket
		118	in listening mode thta accepts conenctions form other nodes.
		119
		120	=item seed nodes
		121
		122	When a node starts, it knows nothing about the network it is in - it
		123	needs to connect to at least one other node that is already in the
		124	network. These other nodes are called "seed nodes".
		125
		126	Seed nodes themselves are not special - they are seed nodes only because
		127	some other node I<uses> them as such, but any node can be used as seed
		128	node for other nodes, and eahc node cna use a different set of seed nodes.
		129
		130	In addition to discovering the network, seed nodes are also used to
		131	maintain the network - all nodes using the same seed node form are part of
		132	the same network. If a network is split into multiple subnets because e.g.
		133	the network link between the parts goes down, then using the same seed
		134	nodes for all nodes ensures that eventually the subnets get merged again.
		135
		136	Seed nodes are expected to be long-running, and at least one seed node
		137	should always be available. They should also be relatively responsive - a
		138	seed node that blocks for long periods will slow down everybody else.
		139
		140	For small networks, it's best if every node uses the same set of seed
		141	nodes. For large networks, it can be useful to specify "regional" seed
		142	nodes for most nodes in an area, and use all seed nodes as seed nodes for
		143	each other. What's important is that all seed nodes connections form a
		144	complete graph, so that the network cannot split into separate subnets
		145	forever.
		146
		147	Seed nodes are represented by seed IDs.
		148
		149	=item seed IDs - C<host:port>
		150
		151	Seed IDs are transport endpoint(s) (usually a hostname/IP address and a
		152	TCP port) of nodes that should be used as seed nodes.
		153
		154	=item global nodes
		155
		156	An AEMP network needs a discovery service - nodes need to know how to
		157	connect to other nodes they only know by name. In addition, AEMP offers a
		158	distributed "group database", which maps group names to a list of strings
		159	- for example, to register worker ports.
		160
		161	A network needs at least one global node to work, and allows every node to
		162	be a global node.
		163
		164	Any node that loads the L<AnyEvent::MP::Global> module becomes a global
		165	node and tries to keep connections to all other nodes. So while it can
		166	make sense to make every node "global" in small networks, it usually makes
		167	sense to only make seed nodes into global nodes in large networks (nodes
		168	keep connections to seed nodes and global nodes, so makign them the same
		169	reduces overhead).

		223
		224	=item configure key => value...
		225
		226	Before a node can talk to other nodes on the network (i.e. enter
		227	"distributed mode") it has to configure itself - the minimum a node needs
		228	to know is its own name, and optionally it should know the addresses of
		229	some other nodes in the network to discover other nodes.
		230
		231	This function configures a node - it must be called exactly once (or
		232	never) before calling other AnyEvent::MP functions.
		233
		234	The key/value pairs are basically the same ones as documented for the
		235	F<aemp> command line utility (sans the set/del prefix), with these additions:
		236
		237	=over 4
		238
		239	=item norc => $boolean (default false)
		240
		241	If true, then the rc file (e.g. F<~/.perl-anyevent-mp>) will I<not>
		242	be consulted - all configuraiton options must be specified in the
		243	C<configure> call.
		244
		245	=item force => $boolean (default false)
		246
		247	IF true, then the values specified in the C<configure> will take
		248	precedence over any values configured via the rc file. The default is for
		249	the rc file to override any options specified in the program.
		250
		251	=item secure => $pass->($nodeid)
		252
		253	In addition to specifying a boolean, you can specify a code reference that
		254	is called for every remote execution attempt - the execution request is
		255	granted iff the callback returns a true value.
		256
		257	See F<semp setsecure> for more info.
		258
		259	=back
		260
		261	=over 4
		262
		263	=item step 1, gathering configuration from profiles
		264
		265	The function first looks up a profile in the aemp configuration (see the
		266	L<aemp> commandline utility). The profile name can be specified via the
		267	named C<profile> parameter or can simply be the first parameter). If it is
		268	missing, then the nodename (F<uname -n>) will be used as profile name.
		269
		270	The profile data is then gathered as follows:
		271
		272	First, all remaining key => value pairs (all of which are conveniently
		273	undocumented at the moment) will be interpreted as configuration
		274	data. Then they will be overwritten by any values specified in the global
		275	default configuration (see the F<aemp> utility), then the chain of
		276	profiles chosen by the profile name (and any C<parent> attributes).
		277
		278	That means that the values specified in the profile have highest priority
		279	and the values specified directly via C<configure> have lowest priority,
		280	and can only be used to specify defaults.
		281
		282	If the profile specifies a node ID, then this will become the node ID of
		283	this process. If not, then the profile name will be used as node ID, with
		284	a unique randoms tring (C</%u>) appended.
		285
		286	The node ID can contain some C<%> sequences that are expanded: C<%n>
		287	is expanded to the local nodename, C<%u> is replaced by a random
		288	strign to make the node unique. For example, the F<aemp> commandline
		289	utility uses C<aemp/%n/%u> as nodename, which might expand to
		290	C<aemp/cerebro/ZQDGSIkRhEZQDGSIkRhE>.
		291
		292	=item step 2, bind listener sockets
		293
		294	The next step is to look up the binds in the profile, followed by binding
		295	aemp protocol listeners on all binds specified (it is possible and valid
		296	to have no binds, meaning that the node cannot be contacted form the
		297	outside. This means the node cannot talk to other nodes that also have no
		298	binds, but it can still talk to all "normal" nodes).
		299
		300	If the profile does not specify a binds list, then a default of C<*> is
		301	used, meaning the node will bind on a dynamically-assigned port on every
		302	local IP address it finds.
		303
		304	=item step 3, connect to seed nodes
		305
		306	As the last step, the seed ID list from the profile is passed to the
		307	L<AnyEvent::MP::Global> module, which will then use it to keep
		308	connectivity with at least one node at any point in time.
		309
		310	=back
		311
		312	Example: become a distributed node using the local node name as profile.
		313	This should be the most common form of invocation for "daemon"-type nodes.
		314
		315	configure
		316
		317	Example: become a semi-anonymous node. This form is often used for
		318	commandline clients.
		319
		320	configure nodeid => "myscript/%n/%u";
		321
		322	Example: configure a node using a profile called seed, which is suitable
		323	for a seed node as it binds on all local addresses on a fixed port (4040,
		324	customary for aemp).
		325
		326	# use the aemp commandline utility
		327	# aemp profile seed binds '*:4040'
		328
		329	# then use it
		330	configure profile => "seed";
		331
		332	# or simply use aemp from the shell again:

		435	The original message will be passed to the callback, after the first

220	The callback has to return a true value when its work is done, after

223
224	If the match is an array reference, then it will be matched against the
225	first elements of the message, otherwise only the first element is being

227
228	Any element in the match that is specified as C<_any_> (a function
229	exported by this module) matches any single element of the message.
230
231	While not required, it is highly recommended that the first matching
232	element is a string identifying the message. The one-string-only match is

		618	"normal" kils nothing happens, while under all other conditions, the other
		619	port is killed with the same reason.
		620
		621	The third form (kill self) is the same as the second form, except that
		622	C<$rvport> defaults to C<$SELF>.
		623
		624	In the last form (message), a message of the form C<@msg, @reason> will be
		625	C<snd>.
		626
		627	Monitoring-actions are one-shot: once messages are lost (and a monitoring
		628	alert was raised), they are removed and will not trigger again.
		629
		630	As a rule of thumb, monitoring requests should always monitor a port from
		631	a local port (or callback). The reason is that kill messages might get
		632	lost, just like any other message. Another less obvious reason is that
		633	even monitoring requests can get lost (for example, when the connection
		634	to the other node goes down permanently). When monitoring a port locally
		635	these problems do not exist.
		636
		637	C<mon> effectively guarantees that, in the absence of hardware failures,
		638	after starting the monitor, either all messages sent to the port will
		639	arrive, or the monitoring action will be invoked after possible message
		640	loss has been detected. No messages will be lost "in between" (after
		641	the first lost message no further messages will be received by the
		642	port). After the monitoring action was invoked, further messages might get
		643	delivered again.
		644
		645	Inter-host-connection timeouts and monitoring depend on the transport
		646	used. The only transport currently implemented is TCP, and AnyEvent::MP
		647	relies on TCP to detect node-downs (this can take 10-15 minutes on a
		648	non-idle connection, and usually around two hours for idle connections).
		649
		650	This means that monitoring is good for program errors and cleaning up
		651	stuff eventually, but they are no replacement for a timeout when you need
		652	to ensure some maximum latency.
		653

		739
		740	Creates a port on the node C<$node> (which can also be a port ID, in which

		742
		743	The port ID of the newly created port is returned immediately, and it is
		744	possible to immediately start sending messages or to monitor the port.
		745
		746	After the port has been created, the init function is called on the remote
		747	node, in the same context as a C<rcv> callback. This function must be a
		748	fully-qualified function name (e.g. C<MyApp::Chat::Server::init>). To
		749	specify a function in the main program, use C<::name>.
		750
		751	If the function doesn't exist, then the node tries to C<require>
		752	the package, then the package above the package and so on (e.g.
		753	C<MyApp::Chat::Server>, C<MyApp::Chat>, C<MyApp>) until the function
		754	exists or it runs out of package names.
		755
		756	The init function is then called with the newly-created port as context
		757	object (C<$SELF>) and the C<@initdata> values as arguments. It I<must>
		758	call one of the C<rcv> functions to set callbacks on C<$SELF>, otherwise
		759	the port might not get created.
		760
		761	A common idiom is to pass a local port, immediately monitor the spawned
		762	port, and in the remote init function, immediately monitor the passed
		763	local port. This two-way monitoring ensures that both ports get cleaned up
		764	when there is a problem.
		765
		766	C<spawn> guarantees that the C<$initfunc> has no visible effects on the

		840
		841	A simple form of RPC - sends a message to the given C<$port> with the

		843
		844	The reply port is created temporarily just for the purpose of receiving
		845	the reply, and will be C<kil>ed when no longer needed.
		846
		847	A reply message sent to the port is passed to the C<$callback> as-is.
		848
		849	If an optional time-out (in seconds) is given and it is not C<undef>,

288	=head1 FUNCTIONS FOR NODES	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.

		955	=head1 AnyEvent::MP vs. Distributed Erlang
		956
		957	AnyEvent::MP got lots of its ideas from distributed Erlang (Erlang node
		958	== aemp node, Erlang process == aemp port), so many of the documents and
		959	programming techniques employed by Erlang apply to AnyEvent::MP. Here is a
		960	sample:
		961
		962	http://www.erlang.se/doc/programming_rules.shtml
		963	http://erlang.org/doc/getting_started/part_frame.html # chapters 3 and 4
		964	http://erlang.org/download/erlang-book-part1.pdf # chapters 5 and 6
		965	http://erlang.org/download/armstrong_thesis_2003.pdf # chapters 4 and 5
		966
		967	Despite the similarities, there are also some important differences:
289		968
290	=over 4	969	=over 4
291		970
292	=item mon $noderef, $callback->($noderef, $status, $)	971	=item * Node IDs are arbitrary strings in AEMP.
293		972
294	Monitors the given noderef.	973	Erlang relies on special naming and DNS to work everywhere in the same
		974	way. AEMP relies on each node somehow knowing its own address(es) (e.g. by
		975	configuration or DNS), and possibly the addresses of some seed nodes, but
		976	will otherwise discover other nodes (and their IDs) itself.
295		977
296	=item become_public endpoint...	978	=item * Erlang has a "remote ports are like local ports" philosophy, AEMP
		979	uses "local ports are like remote ports".
297		980
298	Tells the node to become a public node, i.e. reachable from other nodes.	981	The failure modes for local ports are quite different (runtime errors
		982	only) then for remote ports - when a local port dies, you I<know> it dies,
		983	when a connection to another node dies, you know nothing about the other
		984	port.
299		985
300	If no arguments are given, or the first argument is C<undef>, then	986	Erlang pretends remote ports are as reliable as local ports, even when
301	AnyEvent::MP tries to bind on port C<4040> on all IP addresses that the	987	they are not.
302	local nodename resolves to.
303		988
304	Otherwise the first argument must be an array-reference with transport	989	AEMP encourages a "treat remote ports differently" philosophy, with local
305	endpoints ("ip:port", "hostname:port") or port numbers (in which case the	990	ports being the special case/exception, where transport errors cannot
306	local nodename is used as hostname). The endpoints are all resolved and	991	occur.
307	will become the node reference.
308		992
309	=cut	993	=item * Erlang uses processes and a mailbox, AEMP does not queue.
		994
		995	Erlang uses processes that selectively receive messages out of order, and
		996	therefore needs a queue. AEMP is event based, queuing messages would serve
		997	no useful purpose. For the same reason the pattern-matching abilities
		998	of AnyEvent::MP are more limited, as there is little need to be able to
		999	filter messages without dequeuing them.
		1000
		1001	This is not a philosophical difference, but simply stems from AnyEvent::MP
		1002	being event-based, while Erlang is process-based.
		1003
		1004	You cna have a look at L<Coro::MP> for a more Erlang-like process model on
		1005	top of AEMP and Coro threads.
		1006
		1007	=item * Erlang sends are synchronous, AEMP sends are asynchronous.
		1008
		1009	Sending messages in Erlang is synchronous and blocks the process until
		1010	a conenction has been established and the message sent (and so does not
		1011	need a queue that can overflow). AEMP sends return immediately, connection
		1012	establishment is handled in the background.
		1013
		1014	=item * Erlang suffers from silent message loss, AEMP does not.
		1015
		1016	Erlang implements few guarantees on messages delivery - messages can get
		1017	lost without any of the processes realising it (i.e. you send messages a,
		1018	b, and c, and the other side only receives messages a and c).
		1019
		1020	AEMP guarantees (modulo hardware errors) correct ordering, and the
		1021	guarantee that after one message is lost, all following ones sent to the
		1022	same port are lost as well, until monitoring raises an error, so there are
		1023	no silent "holes" in the message sequence.
		1024
		1025	If you want your software to be very reliable, you have to cope with
		1026	corrupted and even out-of-order messages in both Erlang and AEMP. AEMP
		1027	simply tries to work better in common error cases, such as when a network
		1028	link goes down.
		1029
		1030	=item * Erlang can send messages to the wrong port, AEMP does not.
		1031
		1032	In Erlang it is quite likely that a node that restarts reuses an Erlang
		1033	process ID known to other nodes for a completely different process,
		1034	causing messages destined for that process to end up in an unrelated
		1035	process.
		1036
		1037	AEMP does not reuse port IDs, so old messages or old port IDs floating
		1038	around in the network will not be sent to an unrelated port.
		1039
		1040	=item * Erlang uses unprotected connections, AEMP uses secure
		1041	authentication and can use TLS.
		1042
		1043	AEMP can use a proven protocol - TLS - to protect connections and
		1044	securely authenticate nodes.
		1045
		1046	=item * The AEMP protocol is optimised for both text-based and binary
		1047	communications.
		1048
		1049	The AEMP protocol, unlike the Erlang protocol, supports both programming
		1050	language independent text-only protocols (good for debugging), and binary,
		1051	language-specific serialisers (e.g. Storable). By default, unless TLS is
		1052	used, the protocol is actually completely text-based.
		1053
		1054	It has also been carefully designed to be implementable in other languages
		1055	with a minimum of work while gracefully degrading functionality to make the
		1056	protocol simple.
		1057
		1058	=item * AEMP has more flexible monitoring options than Erlang.
		1059
		1060	In Erlang, you can chose to receive I<all> exit signals as messages or
		1061	I<none>, there is no in-between, so monitoring single Erlang processes is
		1062	difficult to implement.
		1063
		1064	Monitoring in AEMP is more flexible than in Erlang, as one can choose
		1065	between automatic kill, exit message or callback on a per-port basis.
		1066
		1067	=item * Erlang tries to hide remote/local connections, AEMP does not.
		1068
		1069	Monitoring in Erlang is not an indicator of process death/crashes, in the
		1070	same way as linking is (except linking is unreliable in Erlang).
		1071
		1072	In AEMP, you don't "look up" registered port names or send to named ports
		1073	that might or might not be persistent. Instead, you normally spawn a port
		1074	on the remote node. The init function monitors you, and you monitor the
		1075	remote port. Since both monitors are local to the node, they are much more
		1076	reliable (no need for C<spawn_link>).
		1077
		1078	This also saves round-trips and avoids sending messages to the wrong port
		1079	(hard to do in Erlang).

313	=head1 NODE MESSAGES	1083	=head1 RATIONALE
314
315	Nodes understand the following messages sent to them. Many of them take
316	arguments called C<@reply>, which will simply be used to compose a reply
317	message - C<$reply[0]> is the port to reply to, C<$reply[1]> the type and
318	the remaining arguments are simply the message data.

322	=cut	1087	=item Why strings for port and node IDs, why not objects?
323		1088
324	=item wkp => $name, @reply	1089	We considered "objects", but found that the actual number of methods
		1090	that can be called are quite low. Since port and node IDs travel over
		1091	the network frequently, the serialising/deserialising would add lots of
		1092	overhead, as well as having to keep a proxy object everywhere.
325		1093
326	Replies with the port ID of the specified well-known port, or C<undef>.	1094	Strings can easily be printed, easily serialised etc. and need no special
		1095	procedures to be "valid".
327		1096
328	=item devnull => ...	1097	And as a result, a port with just a default receiver consists of a single
		1098	code reference stored in a global hash - it can't become much cheaper.
329		1099
330	Generic data sink/CPU heat conversion.	1100	=item Why favour JSON, why not a real serialising format such as Storable?
331		1101
332	=item relay => $port, @msg	1102	In fact, any AnyEvent::MP node will happily accept Storable as framing
		1103	format, but currently there is no way to make a node use Storable by
		1104	default (although all nodes will accept it).
333		1105
334	Simply forwards the message to the given port.	1106	The default framing protocol is JSON because a) JSON::XS is many times
		1107	faster for small messages and b) most importantly, after years of
		1108	experience we found that object serialisation is causing more problems
		1109	than it solves: Just like function calls, objects simply do not travel
		1110	easily over the network, mostly because they will always be a copy, so you
		1111	always have to re-think your design.
335		1112
336	=item eval => $string[ @reply]	1113	Keeping your messages simple, concentrating on data structures rather than
337		1114	objects, will keep your messages clean, tidy and efficient.
338	Evaluates the given string. If C<@reply> is given, then a message of the
339	form C<@reply, $@, @evalres> is sent.
340
341	Example: crash another node.
342
343	snd $othernode, eval => "exit";
344
345	=item time => @reply
346
347	Replies the the current node time to C<@reply>.
348
349	Example: tell the current node to send the current time to C<$myport> in a
350	C<timereply> message.
351
352	snd $NODE, time => $myport, timereply => 1, 2;
