103		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.

108	network. This node is called a seed.
109		153
110	Seeds are transport endpoint(s) of as many nodes as one wants. Those nodes	154	=item global nodes
111	are expected to be long-running, and at least one of those should always
112	be available. When nodes run out of connections (e.g. due to a network
113	error), they try to re-establish connections to some seednodes again to
114	join the network.
115		155
116	Apart from being sued for seeding, seednodes are not special in any way -	156	An AEMP network needs a discovery service - nodes need to know how to
117	every public node can be a seednode.	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).

		895
		896	AnyEvent::MP comes with a simple distributed database. The database will
		897	be mirrored asynchronously at all global nodes. Other nodes bind to one of
		898	the global nodes for their needs.
		899
		900	The database consists of a two-level hash - a hash contains a hash which
		901	contains values.
		902
		903	The top level hash key is called "family", and the second-level hash key
		904	is called "subkey" or simply "key".
		905
		906	The family must be alphanumeric, i.e. start with a letter and consist
		907	of letters, digits, underscores and colons (C<[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_:]*>,
		908	pretty much like Perl module names.
		909
		910	As the family namespace is global, it is recommended to prefix family names
		911	with the name of the application or module using it.
		912
		913	The subkeys must be non-empty strings, with no further restrictions.
		914
		915	The values should preferably be strings, but other perl scalars should
		916	work as well (such as undef, arrays and hashes).
		917
		918	Every database entry is owned by one node - adding the same family/subkey
		919	combination on multiple nodes will not cause discomfort for AnyEvent::MP,
		920	but the result might be nondeterministic, i.e. the key might have
		921	different values on different nodes.
		922
		923	Different subkeys in the same family can be owned by different nodes
		924	without problems, and in fact, this is the common method to create worker
		925	pools. For example, a worker port for image scaling might do this:
		926
		927	db_set my_image_scalers => $port;
		928
		929	And clients looking for an image scaler will want to get the
		930	C<my_image_scalers> keys:
		931
		932	db_keys "my_image_scalers" => 60 => sub {
		933	#d##TODO#
		934
		935	=over
		936
		937	=item db_set $family => $subkey [=> $value]
		938
		939	Sets (or replaces) a key to the database - if C<$value> is omitted,
		940	C<undef> is used instead.
		941
		942	=item db_del $family => $subkey
		943
		944	Deletes a key from the database.
		945
		946	=item $guard = db_reg $family => $subkey [=> $value]
		947
		948	Sets the key on the database and returns a guard. When the guard is
		949	destroyed, the key is deleted from the database. If C<$value> is missing,
		950	then C<undef> is used.
		951
		952	=item $guard = db_mon $family => $cb->($familyhash, \@subkeys...)
		953
		954	Creates a monitor on the given database family. Each time a key is set or
		955	or is deleted the callback is called with a hash containing the database
		956	family and an arrayref with subkeys that have changed.
		957
		958	Specifically, if one of the passed subkeys exists in the $familyhash, then
		959	it is currently set to the value in the $familyhash. Otherwise, it has
		960	been deleted.
		961
		962	The first call will be with the current contents of the family and all
		963	keys, as if they were just added.
		964
		965	It is possible that the callback is called with a change event even though
		966	the subkey is already present and the value has not changed.
		967
		968	The monitoring stops when the guard object is destroyed.
		969
		970	Example: on every change to the family "mygroup", print out all keys.
		971
		972	my $guard = db_mon mygroup => sub {
		973	my ($family, $keys) = @_;
		974	print "mygroup members: ", (join " ", keys %$family), "\n";
		975	};
		976
		977	Exmaple: wait until the family "My::Module::workers" is non-empty.
		978
		979	my $guard; $guard = db_mon My::Module::workers => sub {
		980	my ($family, $keys) = @_;
		981	return unless %$family;
		982	undef $guard;
		983	print "My::Module::workers now nonempty\n";
		984	};
		985
		986	Example: print all changes to the family "AnyRvent::Fantasy::Module".
		987
