|
|
143 | |
|
|
144 | Before a node can talk to other nodes on the network it has to initialise |
|
|
145 | itself - the minimum a node needs to know is it's own name, and optionally |
|
|
146 | it should know the noderefs of some other nodes in the network. |
|
|
147 | |
|
|
148 | This function initialises a node - it must be called exactly once (or |
|
|
149 | never) before calling other AnyEvent::MP functions. |
|
|
150 | |
|
|
151 | All arguments are noderefs, which can be either resolved or unresolved. |
|
|
152 | |
|
|
153 | There are two types of networked nodes, public nodes and slave nodes: |
|
|
154 | |
|
|
155 | =over 4 |
|
|
156 | |
|
|
157 | =item public nodes |
|
|
158 | |
|
|
159 | For public nodes, C<$noderef> must either be a (possibly unresolved) |
|
|
160 | noderef, in which case it will be resolved, or C<undef> (or missing), in |
|
|
161 | which case the noderef will be guessed. |
|
|
162 | |
|
|
163 | Afterwards, the node will bind itself on all endpoints and try to connect |
|
|
164 | to all additional C<$seednodes> that are specified. Seednodes are optional |
|
|
165 | and can be used to quickly bootstrap the node into an existing network. |
|
|
166 | |
|
|
167 | =item slave nodes |
|
|
168 | |
|
|
169 | When the C<$noderef> is the special string C<slave/>, then the node will |
|
|
170 | become a slave node. Slave nodes cannot be contacted from outside and will |
|
|
171 | route most of their traffic to the master node that they attach to. |
|
|
172 | |
|
|
173 | At least one additional noderef is required: The node will try to connect |
|
|
174 | to all of them and will become a slave attached to the first node it can |
|
|
175 | successfully connect to. |
|
|
176 | |
|
|
177 | =back |
|
|
178 | |
|
|
179 | This function will block until all nodes have been resolved and, for slave |
|
|
180 | nodes, until it has successfully established a connection to a master |
|
|
181 | server. |
|
|
182 | |

207 | abbreviated IDs, resolves all of them and returns a resolved node |
|

208 | reference. |

210 | In addition to C<address:port> pairs allowed in resolved noderefs, the |
|

213 | =over 4 |

214 | |

215 | =item the empty string |
|
|
216 | |
|
|
217 | An empty-string component gets resolved as if the default port (4040) was |
|
|
218 | specified. |
|

219 | |
|
|
220 | =item naked port numbers (e.g. C<1234>) |
|

|
225 | =item hostnames (e.g. C<localhost:1234>, C<localhost>) |
|
|
226 | |

227 | These are resolved by using AnyEvent::DNS to resolve them, optionally |
|

176 | |
|

177 | In the first form, the callback is simply called with any number |

455 | |
501 | |
456 | If no arguments are given, or the first argument is C<undef>, then |
502 | In the first form (callback), the callback is simply called with any |
457 | AnyEvent::MP tries to bind on port C<4040> on all IP addresses that the |
503 | number of C<@reason> elements (no @reason means that the port was deleted |
458 | local nodename resolves to. |
504 | "normally"). Note also that I<< the callback B<must> never die >>, so use |
|
|
505 | C<eval> if unsure. |
459 | |
506 | |
460 | Otherwise the first argument must be an array-reference with transport |
507 | In the second form (another port given), the other port (C<$rcvport) |
461 | endpoints ("ip:port", "hostname:port") or port numbers (in which case the |
508 | will be C<kil>'ed with C<@reason>, iff a @reason was specified, i.e. on |
462 | local nodename is used as hostname). The endpoints are all resolved and |
509 | "normal" kils nothing happens, while under all other conditions, the other |
463 | will become the node reference. |
510 | port is killed with the same reason. |
464 | |
511 | |
|
|
512 | The third form (kill self) is the same as the second form, except that |

513 | C<$rvport> defaults to C<$SELF>. |
|

671 | =head1 AnyEvent::MP vs. Distributed Erlang |
|
|
672 | |
|
|
673 | AnyEvent::MP got lots of its ideas from distributed Erlang (Erlang node |
|
|
674 | == aemp node, Erlang process == aemp port), so many of the documents and |
|
|
675 | programming techniques employed by Erlang apply to AnyEvent::MP. Here is a |
|
|
676 | sample: |

682 | |
|
|
683 | Despite the similarities, there are also some important differences: |
|
|
684 | |
|
|
685 | =over 4 |
|
|
686 | |
|
|
687 | =item * Node references contain the recipe on how to contact them. |
|
|
688 | |
|
|
689 | Erlang relies on special naming and DNS to work everywhere in the |
|
|
690 | same way. AEMP relies on each node knowing it's own address(es), with |
|
|
691 | convenience functionality. |
|
|
692 | |
|
|
693 | This means that AEMP requires a less tightly controlled environment at the |
|
|
694 | cost of longer node references and a slightly higher management overhead. |
|
|
695 | |
|
|
696 | =item * Erlang uses processes and a mailbox, AEMP does not queue. |
|
|
697 | |
|
|
698 | Erlang uses processes that selctively receive messages, and therefore |
|
|
699 | needs a queue. AEMP is event based, queuing messages would serve no useful |
|
|
700 | purpose. |
|
|
701 | |
|
|
702 | (But see L<Coro::MP> for a more Erlang-like process model on top of AEMP). |
|
|
703 | |
|
|
704 | =item * Erlang sends are synchronous, AEMP sends are asynchronous. |
|
|
705 | |
|
|
706 | Sending messages in Erlang is synchronous and blocks the process. AEMP |
|
|
707 | sends are immediate, connection establishment is handled in the |
|
|
708 | background. |
|
|
709 | |
|
|
710 | =item * Erlang can silently lose messages, AEMP cannot. |
|
|
711 | |
|
|
712 | Erlang makes few guarantees on messages delivery - messages can get lost |
|
|
713 | without any of the processes realising it (i.e. you send messages a, b, |
|
|
714 | and c, and the other side only receives messages a and c). |
|
|
715 | |
|
|
716 | AEMP guarantees correct ordering, and the guarantee that there are no |
|
|
717 | holes in the message sequence. |
|
|
718 | |
|
|
719 | =item * In Erlang, processes can be declared dead and later be found to be |
|
|
720 | alive. |
|
|
721 | |
|
|
722 | In Erlang it can happen that a monitored process is declared dead and |
|
|
723 | linked processes get killed, but later it turns out that the process is |
|
|
724 | still alive - and can receive messages. |
|
|
725 | |
|
|
726 | In AEMP, when port monitoring detects a port as dead, then that port will |
|
|
727 | eventually be killed - it cannot happen that a node detects a port as dead |
|
|
728 | and then later sends messages to it, finding it is still alive. |
|
|
729 | |
|
|
730 | =item * Erlang can send messages to the wrong port, AEMP does not. |
|
|
731 | |
|
|
732 | In Erlang it is quite possible that a node that restarts reuses a process |
|
|
733 | ID known to other nodes for a completely different process, causing |
|
|
734 | messages destined for that process to end up in an unrelated process. |
|
|
735 | |
|
|
736 | AEMP never reuses port IDs, so old messages or old port IDs floating |
|
|
737 | around in the network will not be sent to an unrelated port. |
|
|
738 | |
|
|
739 | =item * Erlang uses unprotected connections, AEMP uses secure |
|
|
740 | authentication and can use TLS. |
|
|
741 | |
|
|
742 | AEMP can use a proven protocol - SSL/TLS - to protect connections and |
|
|
743 | securely authenticate nodes. |
|
|
744 | |
|
|
745 | =item * The AEMP protocol is optimised for both text-based and binary |
|
|
746 | communications. |
|
|
747 | |
|
|
748 | The AEMP protocol, unlike the Erlang protocol, supports both |
|
|
749 | language-independent text-only protocols (good for debugging) and binary, |
|
|
750 | language-specific serialisers (e.g. Storable). |
|
|
751 | |
|
|
752 | It has also been carefully designed to be implementable in other languages |
|
|
753 | with a minimum of work while gracefully degrading fucntionality to make the |
|
|
754 | protocol simple. |
|
|
755 | |
|
|
756 | =item * AEMP has more flexible monitoring options than Erlang. |
|
|
757 | |
|
|
758 | In Erlang, you can chose to receive I<all> exit signals as messages |
|
|
759 | or I<none>, there is no in-between, so monitoring single processes is |
|
|
760 | difficult to implement. Monitoring in AEMP is more flexible than in |
|
|
761 | Erlang, as one can choose between automatic kill, exit message or callback |
|
|
762 | on a per-process basis. |
|
|
763 | |
|
|
764 | =item * Erlang has different semantics for monitoring and linking, AEMP has the same. |
|
|
765 | |
|
|
766 | Monitoring in Erlang is not an indicator of process death/crashes, |
|
|
767 | as linking is (except linking is unreliable in Erlang). In AEMP, the |
|
|
768 | semantics of monitoring and linking are identical, linking is simply |
|
|
769 | two-way monitoring with automatic kill. |
