|
|
133 | the network link between the parts goes down, then using the same seed |

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 |
|

164 | Any node that loads the L<AnyEvent::MP::Global> module becomes a global |

|
|
166 | make sense to make every node "global" in small networks, it usually makes |
|

912 | =head1 DISTRIBUTED DATABASE |
|
|
913 | |
|
|
914 | AnyEvent::MP comes with a simple distributed database. The database will |
|
|
915 | be mirrored asynchronously on all global nodes. Other nodes bind to one |
|
|
916 | of the global nodes for their needs. Every node has a "local database" |
|
|
917 | which contains all the values that are set locally. All local databases |
|
|
918 | are merged together to form the global database, which can be queried. |
|
|
919 | |
|
|
920 | The database structure is that of a two-level hash - the database hash |
|
|
921 | contains hashes which contain values, similarly to a perl hash of hashes, |
|
|
922 | i.e.: |
|
|
923 | |
|
|
924 | $DATABASE{$family}{$subkey} = $value |
|
|
925 | |
|
|
926 | The top level hash key is called "family", and the second-level hash key |
|
|
927 | is called "subkey" or simply "key". |
|
|
928 | |
|
|
929 | The family must be alphanumeric, i.e. start with a letter and consist |
|
|
930 | of letters, digits, underscores and colons (C<[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_:]*>, |
|
|
931 | pretty much like Perl module names. |
|
|
932 | |
|
|
933 | As the family namespace is global, it is recommended to prefix family names |
|
|
934 | with the name of the application or module using it. |
|
|
935 | |
|
|
936 | The subkeys must be non-empty strings, with no further restrictions. |
|
|
937 | |
|
|
938 | The values should preferably be strings, but other perl scalars should |
|
|
939 | work as well (such as C<undef>, arrays and hashes). |
|
|
940 | |
|
|
941 | Every database entry is owned by one node - adding the same family/subkey |
|
|
942 | combination on multiple nodes will not cause discomfort for AnyEvent::MP, |
|
|
943 | but the result might be nondeterministic, i.e. the key might have |
|
|
944 | different values on different nodes. |
|
|
945 | |
|
|
946 | Different subkeys in the same family can be owned by different nodes |
|
|
947 | without problems, and in fact, this is the common method to create worker |
|
|
948 | pools. For example, a worker port for image scaling might do this: |
|
|
949 | |
|
|
950 | db_set my_image_scalers => $port; |
|
|
951 | |
|
|
952 | And clients looking for an image scaler will want to get the |
|
|
953 | C<my_image_scalers> keys from time to time: |
|
|
954 | |
|
|
955 | db_keys my_image_scalers => sub { |
|
|
956 | @ports = @{ $_[0] }; |
|
|
957 | }; |
|
|
958 | |
|
|
959 | Or better yet, they want to monitor the database family, so they always |
|
|
960 | have a reasonable up-to-date copy: |
|
|
961 | |
|
|
962 | db_mon my_image_scalers => sub { |
|
|
963 | @ports = keys %{ $_[0] }; |
|
|
964 | }; |
|
|
965 | |
|
|
966 | In general, you can set or delete single subkeys, but query and monitor |
|
|
967 | whole families only. |
|
|
968 | |
|
|
969 | If you feel the need to monitor or query a single subkey, try giving it |
|
|
970 | it's own family. |
|
|
971 | |
|
|
972 | =over |
|
|
973 | |
|
|
974 | =item db_set $family => $subkey [=> $value] |
|
|
975 | |
|
|
976 | Sets (or replaces) a key to the database - if C<$value> is omitted, |
|
|
977 | C<undef> is used instead. |
|
|
978 | |
|
|
979 | =item db_del $family => $subkey... |
|
|
980 | |
|
|
981 | Deletes one or more subkeys from the database family. |
|
|
982 | |
|
|
983 | =item $guard = db_reg $family => $subkey [=> $value] |
|
|
984 | |
|
|
985 | Sets the key on the database and returns a guard. When the guard is |
|
|
986 | destroyed, the key is deleted from the database. If C<$value> is missing, |
|
|
987 | then C<undef> is used. |
|
|
988 | |
|
|
989 | =item db_family $family => $cb->(\%familyhash) |
|
|
990 | |
|
|
991 | Queries the named database C<$family> and call the callback with the |
|
|
992 | family represented as a hash. You can keep and freely modify the hash. |
|
|
993 | |
|
|
994 | =item db_keys $family => $cb->(\@keys) |
|
|
995 | |
|
|
996 | Same as C<db_family>, except it only queries the family I<subkeys> and passes |
|
|
997 | them as array reference to the callback. |
|
|
998 | |
|
|
999 | =item db_values $family => $cb->(\@values) |
|
|
1000 | |
|
|
1001 | Same as C<db_family>, except it only queries the family I<values> and passes them |
|
|
1002 | as array reference to the callback. |
|
|
1003 | |
|
|
1004 | =item $guard = db_mon $family => $cb->($familyhash, \@added, \@changed, \@deleted) |
|
|
1005 | |
|
|
1006 | Creates a monitor on the given database family. Each time a key is set |
|
|
1007 | or or is deleted the callback is called with a hash containing the |
|
|
1008 | database family and three lists of added, changed and deleted subkeys, |
|
|
1009 | respectively. If no keys have changed then the array reference might be |
|
|
1010 | C<undef> or even missing. |
|
|
1011 | |
|
|
1012 | If not called in void context, a guard object is returned that, when |
|
|
1013 | destroyed, stops the monitor. |
|
|
1014 | |
|
|
1015 | The family hash reference and the key arrays belong to AnyEvent::MP and |
|
|
1016 | B<must not be modified or stored> by the callback. When in doubt, make a |
|
|
1017 | copy. |
|
|
1018 | |
|
|
1019 | As soon as possible after the monitoring starts, the callback will be |
|
|
1020 | called with the intiial contents of the family, even if it is empty, |
|
|
1021 | i.e. there will always be a timely call to the callback with the current |
|
|
1022 | contents. |
|
|
1023 | |
|
|
1024 | It is possible that the callback is called with a change event even though |
|
|
1025 | the subkey is already present and the value has not changed. |
|
|
1026 | |
|
|
1027 | The monitoring stops when the guard object is destroyed. |
|
|
1028 | |
|
|
1029 | Example: on every change to the family "mygroup", print out all keys. |
|
|
1030 | |
|
|
1031 | my $guard = db_mon mygroup => sub { |
|
|
1032 | my ($family, $a, $c, $d) = @_; |
|
|
1033 | print "mygroup members: ", (join " ", keys %$family), "\n"; |
|
|
1034 | }; |
|
|
1035 | |
|
|
1036 | Exmaple: wait until the family "My::Module::workers" is non-empty. |
|
|
1037 | |
|
|
1038 | my $guard; $guard = db_mon My::Module::workers => sub { |

|
|
1040 | return unless %$family; |
|
|
1041 | undef $guard; |
|
|
1042 | print "My::Module::workers now nonempty\n"; |
|
|
1043 | }; |
|
|
1044 | |
|
|
1045 | Example: print all changes to the family "AnyRvent::Fantasy::Module". |
