		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).

		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 two 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	=back
		252
		253	=over 4
		254
		255	=item step 1, gathering configuration from profiles
		256
		257	The function first looks up a profile in the aemp configuration (see the
		258	L<aemp> commandline utility). The profile name can be specified via the
		259	named C<profile> parameter or can simply be the first parameter). If it is
		260	missing, then the nodename (F<uname -n>) will be used as profile name.
		261
		262	The profile data is then gathered as follows:
		263
		264	First, all remaining key => value pairs (all of which are conveniently
		265	undocumented at the moment) will be interpreted as configuration
		266	data. Then they will be overwritten by any values specified in the global
		267	default configuration (see the F<aemp> utility), then the chain of
		268	profiles chosen by the profile name (and any C<parent> attributes).
		269
		270	That means that the values specified in the profile have highest priority
		271	and the values specified directly via C<configure> have lowest priority,
		272	and can only be used to specify defaults.
		273
		274	If the profile specifies a node ID, then this will become the node ID of
		275	this process. If not, then the profile name will be used as node ID, with
		276	a unique randoms tring (C</%u>) appended.
		277
		278	The node ID can contain some C<%> sequences that are expanded: C<%n>
		279	is expanded to the local nodename, C<%u> is replaced by a random
		280	strign to make the node unique. For example, the F<aemp> commandline
		281	utility uses C<aemp/%n/%u> as nodename, which might expand to
		282	C<aemp/cerebro/ZQDGSIkRhEZQDGSIkRhE>.
		283
		284	=item step 2, bind listener sockets
		285
		286	The next step is to look up the binds in the profile, followed by binding
		287	aemp protocol listeners on all binds specified (it is possible and valid
		288	to have no binds, meaning that the node cannot be contacted form the
		289	outside. This means the node cannot talk to other nodes that also have no
		290	binds, but it can still talk to all "normal" nodes).
		291
		292	If the profile does not specify a binds list, then a default of C<*> is
		293	used, meaning the node will bind on a dynamically-assigned port on every
		294	local IP address it finds.
		295
		296	=item step 3, connect to seed nodes
		297
		298	As the last step, the seed ID list from the profile is passed to the
		299	L<AnyEvent::MP::Global> module, which will then use it to keep
		300	connectivity with at least one node at any point in time.
		301
		302	=back
		303
		304	Example: become a distributed node using the local node name as profile.
		305	This should be the most common form of invocation for "daemon"-type nodes.
		306
		307	configure
		308
		309	Example: become a semi-anonymous node. This form is often used for
		310	commandline clients.
		311
		312	configure nodeid => "myscript/%n/%u";
		313
		314	Example: configure a node using a profile called seed, which is suitable
		315	for a seed node as it binds on all local addresses on a fixed port (4040,
		316	customary for aemp).
		317
		318	# use the aemp commandline utility
		319	# aemp profile seed binds '*:4040'
		320
		321	# then use it
		322	configure profile => "seed";
		323
		324	# or simply use aemp from the shell again:
		325	# aemp run profile seed
		326

224	If the match is an array reference, then it will be matched against the

228	Any element in the match that is specified as C<_any_> (a function

230

		610	"normal" kils nothing happens, while under all other conditions, the other
		611	port is killed with the same reason.
		612
		613	The third form (kill self) is the same as the second form, except that
		614	C<$rvport> defaults to C<$SELF>.
		615
		616	In the last form (message), a message of the form C<@msg, @reason> will be
		617	C<snd>.
		618
		619	Monitoring-actions are one-shot: once messages are lost (and a monitoring
		620	alert was raised), they are removed and will not trigger again.
		621
		622	As a rule of thumb, monitoring requests should always monitor a port from
		623	a local port (or callback). The reason is that kill messages might get
		624	lost, just like any other message. Another less obvious reason is that
		625	even monitoring requests can get lost (for example, when the connection
		626	to the other node goes down permanently). When monitoring a port locally
		627	these problems do not exist.
		628
		629	C<mon> effectively guarantees that, in the absence of hardware failures,
		630	after starting the monitor, either all messages sent to the port will
		631	arrive, or the monitoring action will be invoked after possible message
		632	loss has been detected. No messages will be lost "in between" (after
		633	the first lost message no further messages will be received by the
		634	port). After the monitoring action was invoked, further messages might get
		635	delivered again.
		636
		637	Inter-host-connection timeouts and monitoring depend on the transport
		638	used. The only transport currently implemented is TCP, and AnyEvent::MP
		639	relies on TCP to detect node-downs (this can take 10-15 minutes on a
		640	non-idle connection, and usually around two hours for idle connections).
		641
		642	This means that monitoring is good for program errors and cleaning up
		643	stuff eventually, but they are no replacement for a timeout when you need
		644	to ensure some maximum latency.
		645

		731
		732	Creates a port on the node C<$node> (which can also be a port ID, in which

		734
		735	The port ID of the newly created port is returned immediately, and it is
		736	possible to immediately start sending messages or to monitor the port.
		737
		738	After the port has been created, the init function is called on the remote
		739	node, in the same context as a C<rcv> callback. This function must be a
		740	fully-qualified function name (e.g. C<MyApp::Chat::Server::init>). To
		741	specify a function in the main program, use C<::name>.
		742
		743	If the function doesn't exist, then the node tries to C<require>
		744	the package, then the package above the package and so on (e.g.
		745	C<MyApp::Chat::Server>, C<MyApp::Chat>, C<MyApp>) until the function
		746	exists or it runs out of package names.
		747
		748	The init function is then called with the newly-created port as context
		749	object (C<$SELF>) and the C<@initdata> values as arguments. It I<must>
		750	call one of the C<rcv> functions to set callbacks on C<$SELF>, otherwise
		751	the port might not get created.
		752
		753	A common idiom is to pass a local port, immediately monitor the spawned
		754	port, and in the remote init function, immediately monitor the passed
		755	local port. This two-way monitoring ensures that both ports get cleaned up
		756	when there is a problem.
		757
		758	C<spawn> guarantees that the C<$initfunc> has no visible effects on the

		832
		833	A simple form of RPC - sends a message to the given C<$port> with the

		835
		836	The reply port is created temporarily just for the purpose of receiving

		838
		839	A reply message sent to the port is passed to the C<$callback> as-is.

288	=head1 FUNCTIONS FOR NODES	885	=head1 DISTRIBUTED DATABASE
		886
		887	AnyEvent::MP comes with a simple distributed database. The database will
		888	be mirrored asynchronously at all global nodes. Other nodes bind to one of
		889	the global nodes for their needs.
		890
		891	The database consists of a two-level hash - a hash contains a hash which
		892	contains values.
		893
		894	The top level hash key is called "family", and the second-level hash key
		895	is called "subkey" or simply "key".
		896
		897	The family must be alphanumeric, i.e. start with a letter and consist
		898	of letters, digits, underscores and colons (C<[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_:]*>,
		899	pretty much like Perl module names.
		900
		901	As the family namespace is global, it is recommended to prefix family names
		902	with the name of the application or module using it.
		903
		904	The subkeys must be non-empty strings, with no further restrictions.
		905
		906	The values should preferably be strings, but other perl scalars should
		907	work as well (such as undef, arrays and hashes).
		908
		909	Every database entry is owned by one node - adding the same family/subkey
		910	combination on multiple nodes will not cause discomfort for AnyEvent::MP,
		911	but the result might be nondeterministic, i.e. the key might have
		912	different values on different nodes.
		913
		914	Different subkeys in the same family can be owned by different nodes
		915	without problems, and in fact, this is the common method to create worker
		916	pools. For example, a worker port for image scaling might do this:
		917
		918	db_set my_image_scalers => $port;
		919
		920	And clients looking for an image scaler will want to get the
		921	C<my_image_scalers> keys:
		922
		923	db_keys "my_image_scalers" => 60 => sub {
		924	#d##TODO#
		925
		926	=over
		927
		928	=item db_set $family => $subkey [=> $value]
		929
		930	Sets (or replaces) a key to the database - if C<$value> is omitted,
		931	C<undef> is used instead.
		932
		933	=item db_del $family => $subkey
		934
		935	Deletes a key from the database.
		936
		937	=item $guard = db_reg $family => $subkey [=> $value]
		938
		939	Sets the key on the database and returns a guard. When the guard is
		940	destroyed, the key is deleted from the database. If C<$value> is missing,
		941	then C<undef> is used.

		946
		947	=head1 AnyEvent::MP vs. Distributed Erlang
		948
		949	AnyEvent::MP got lots of its ideas from distributed Erlang (Erlang node
		950	== aemp node, Erlang process == aemp port), so many of the documents and
		951	programming techniques employed by Erlang apply to AnyEvent::MP. Here is a
		952	sample:
		953
		954	http://www.erlang.se/doc/programming_rules.shtml
		955	http://erlang.org/doc/getting_started/part_frame.html # chapters 3 and 4
		956	http://erlang.org/download/erlang-book-part1.pdf # chapters 5 and 6
		957	http://erlang.org/download/armstrong_thesis_2003.pdf # chapters 4 and 5
		958
		959	Despite the similarities, there are also some important differences:
289		960
290	=over 4	961	=over 4
291		962
292	=item mon $noderef, $callback->($noderef, $status, $)	963	=item * Node IDs are arbitrary strings in AEMP.
293		964
294	Monitors the given noderef.	965	Erlang relies on special naming and DNS to work everywhere in the same
		966	way. AEMP relies on each node somehow knowing its own address(es) (e.g. by
		967	configuration or DNS), and possibly the addresses of some seed nodes, but
		968	will otherwise discover other nodes (and their IDs) itself.
295		969
296	=item become_public endpoint...	970	=item * Erlang has a "remote ports are like local ports" philosophy, AEMP
		971	uses "local ports are like remote ports".
297		972
298	Tells the node to become a public node, i.e. reachable from other nodes.	973	The failure modes for local ports are quite different (runtime errors
		974	only) then for remote ports - when a local port dies, you I<know> it dies,
		975	when a connection to another node dies, you know nothing about the other
		976	port.
299		977
300	If no arguments are given, or the first argument is C<undef>, then	978	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	979	they are not.
302	local nodename resolves to.
303		980
304	Otherwise the first argument must be an array-reference with transport	981	AEMP encourages a "treat remote ports differently" philosophy, with local
305	endpoints ("ip:port", "hostname:port") or port numbers (in which case the	982	ports being the special case/exception, where transport errors cannot
306	local nodename is used as hostname). The endpoints are all resolved and	983	occur.
307	will become the node reference.
308		984
309	=cut	985	=item * Erlang uses processes and a mailbox, AEMP does not queue.
		986
		987	Erlang uses processes that selectively receive messages out of order, and
		988	therefore needs a queue. AEMP is event based, queuing messages would serve
		989	no useful purpose. For the same reason the pattern-matching abilities
		990	of AnyEvent::MP are more limited, as there is little need to be able to
		991	filter messages without dequeuing them.
		992
		993	This is not a philosophical difference, but simply stems from AnyEvent::MP
		994	being event-based, while Erlang is process-based.
		995
		996	You cna have a look at L<Coro::MP> for a more Erlang-like process model on
		997	top of AEMP and Coro threads.
		998
		999	=item * Erlang sends are synchronous, AEMP sends are asynchronous.
		1000
		1001	Sending messages in Erlang is synchronous and blocks the process until
		1002	a conenction has been established and the message sent (and so does not
		1003	need a queue that can overflow). AEMP sends return immediately, connection
		1004	establishment is handled in the background.
		1005
		1006	=item * Erlang suffers from silent message loss, AEMP does not.
		1007
		1008	Erlang implements few guarantees on messages delivery - messages can get
		1009	lost without any of the processes realising it (i.e. you send messages a,
		1010	b, and c, and the other side only receives messages a and c).
		1011
		1012	AEMP guarantees (modulo hardware errors) correct ordering, and the
		1013	guarantee that after one message is lost, all following ones sent to the
		1014	same port are lost as well, until monitoring raises an error, so there are
		1015	no silent "holes" in the message sequence.
		1016
		1017	If you want your software to be very reliable, you have to cope with
		1018	corrupted and even out-of-order messages in both Erlang and AEMP. AEMP
		1019	simply tries to work better in common error cases, such as when a network
		1020	link goes down.
		1021
		1022	=item * Erlang can send messages to the wrong port, AEMP does not.
		1023
		1024	In Erlang it is quite likely that a node that restarts reuses an Erlang
		1025	process ID known to other nodes for a completely different process,
		1026	causing messages destined for that process to end up in an unrelated
		1027	process.
		1028
		1029	AEMP does not reuse port IDs, so old messages or old port IDs floating
		1030	around in the network will not be sent to an unrelated port.
		1031
		1032	=item * Erlang uses unprotected connections, AEMP uses secure
		1033	authentication and can use TLS.
		1034
		1035	AEMP can use a proven protocol - TLS - to protect connections and
		1036	securely authenticate nodes.
		1037
		1038	=item * The AEMP protocol is optimised for both text-based and binary
		1039	communications.
		1040
		1041	The AEMP protocol, unlike the Erlang protocol, supports both programming
		1042	language independent text-only protocols (good for debugging), and binary,
		1043	language-specific serialisers (e.g. Storable). By default, unless TLS is
		1044	used, the protocol is actually completely text-based.
		1045
		1046	It has also been carefully designed to be implementable in other languages
		1047	with a minimum of work while gracefully degrading functionality to make the
		1048	protocol simple.
		1049
		1050	=item * AEMP has more flexible monitoring options than Erlang.
		1051
		1052	In Erlang, you can chose to receive I<all> exit signals as messages or
		1053	I<none>, there is no in-between, so monitoring single Erlang processes is
		1054	difficult to implement.
		1055
		1056	Monitoring in AEMP is more flexible than in Erlang, as one can choose
		1057	between automatic kill, exit message or callback on a per-port basis.
		1058
		1059	=item * Erlang tries to hide remote/local connections, AEMP does not.
		1060
		1061	Monitoring in Erlang is not an indicator of process death/crashes, in the
		1062	same way as linking is (except linking is unreliable in Erlang).
		1063
		1064	In AEMP, you don't "look up" registered port names or send to named ports
		1065	that might or might not be persistent. Instead, you normally spawn a port
		1066	on the remote node. The init function monitors you, and you monitor the
		1067	remote port. Since both monitors are local to the node, they are much more
		1068	reliable (no need for C<spawn_link>).
		1069
		1070	This also saves round-trips and avoids sending messages to the wrong port
		1071	(hard to do in Erlang).

312		1074
313	=head1 NODE MESSAGES	1075	=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	1079	=item Why strings for port and node IDs, why not objects?
323		1080
324	=item wkp => $name, @reply	1081	We considered "objects", but found that the actual number of methods
		1082	that can be called are quite low. Since port and node IDs travel over
		1083	the network frequently, the serialising/deserialising would add lots of
		1084	overhead, as well as having to keep a proxy object everywhere.
325		1085
326	Replies with the port ID of the specified well-known port, or C<undef>.	1086	Strings can easily be printed, easily serialised etc. and need no special
		1087	procedures to be "valid".
327		1088
328	=item devnull => ...	1089	And as a result, a port with just a default receiver consists of a single
		1090	code reference stored in a global hash - it can't become much cheaper.
329		1091
330	Generic data sink/CPU heat conversion.	1092	=item Why favour JSON, why not a real serialising format such as Storable?
331		1093
332	=item relay => $port, @msg	1094	In fact, any AnyEvent::MP node will happily accept Storable as framing
		1095	format, but currently there is no way to make a node use Storable by
		1096	default (although all nodes will accept it).
333		1097
334	Simply forwards the message to the given port.	1098	The default framing protocol is JSON because a) JSON::XS is many times
		1099	faster for small messages and b) most importantly, after years of
		1100	experience we found that object serialisation is causing more problems
		1101	than it solves: Just like function calls, objects simply do not travel
		1102	easily over the network, mostly because they will always be a copy, so you
		1103	always have to re-think your design.
335		1104
336	=item eval => $string[ @reply]	1105	Keeping your messages simple, concentrating on data structures rather than
337		1106	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;
