47 |
|
|
|
48 |
root |
1.10 |
See the BerkeleyDB documentation (L<http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/index.html>). |
49 |
root |
1.12 |
The BDB API is very similar to the C API (the translation has been very faithful). |
50 |
root |
1.10 |
|
51 |
|
|
See also the example sections in the document below and possibly the eg/ |
52 |
|
|
subdirectory of the BDB distribution. Last not least see the IO::AIO |
53 |
|
|
documentation, as that module uses almost the same asynchronous request |
54 |
|
|
model as this module. |
55 |
|
|
|
56 |
|
|
I know this is woefully inadequate documentation. Send a patch! |

=head1 REQUEST ANATOMY AND LIFETIME |
60 |
|
|
|
61 |
|
|
Every request method creates a request. which is a C data structure not |
62 |
|
|
directly visible to Perl. |
63 |
|
|
|
64 |
|
|
During their existance, bdb requests travel through the following states, |
65 |
|
|
in order: |
66 |
|
|
|
67 |
|
|
=over 4 |
68 |
|
|
|
69 |
|
|
=item ready |
70 |
|
|
|
71 |
|
|
Immediately after a request is created it is put into the ready state, |
72 |
|
|
waiting for a thread to execute it. |
73 |
|
|
|
74 |
|
|
=item execute |
75 |
|
|
|
76 |
|
|
A thread has accepted the request for processing and is currently |
77 |
|
|
executing it (e.g. blocking in read). |
78 |
|
|
|
79 |
|
|
=item pending |
80 |
|
|
|
81 |
|
|
The request has been executed and is waiting for result processing. |
82 |
|
|
|
83 |
|
|
While request submission and execution is fully asynchronous, result |
84 |
|
|
processing is not and relies on the perl interpreter calling C<poll_cb> |
85 |
|
|
(or another function with the same effect). |
86 |
|
|
|
87 |
|
|
=item result |
88 |
|
|
|
89 |
|
|
The request results are processed synchronously by C<poll_cb>. |
90 |
|
|
|
91 |
|
|
The C<poll_cb> function will process all outstanding aio requests by |
92 |
|
|
calling their callbacks, freeing memory associated with them and managing |
93 |
|
|
any groups they are contained in. |
94 |
|
|
|
95 |
|
|
=item done |
96 |
|
|
|
97 |
|
|
Request has reached the end of its lifetime and holds no resources anymore |
98 |
|
|
(except possibly for the Perl object, but its connection to the actual |
99 |
|
|
aio request is severed and calling its methods will either do nothing or |
100 |
|
|
result in a runtime error). |

141 |
root |
1.34 |
|
142 |
root |
1.35 |
Perl on Win32 supports only ASCII filenames (the reason is that it abuses |
143 |
|
|
an internal flag to store wether a filename is Unicode or ANSI, but that |
144 |
|
|
flag is used for somethign else in the perl core, so there is no way to |
145 |
|
|
detect wether a filename is ANSI or Unicode-encoded). The BDB module |
146 |
|
|
tries to work around this issue by assuming that the filename is an ANSI |
147 |
|
|
filename and BDB was built for unicode support. |

=head2 BERKELEYDB FUNCTIONS |
150 |
|
|
|
151 |
|
|
All of these are functions. The create functions simply return a new |
152 |
root |
1.34 |
object and never block. All the remaining functions take an optional |
153 |
root |
1.24 |
callback as last argument. If it is missing, then the function will be |
154 |
|
|
executed synchronously. In both cases, C<$!> will reflect the return value |
155 |
|
|
of the function. |
156 |
root |
1.10 |
|
157 |
|
|
BDB functions that cannot block (mostly functions that manipulate |
158 |
|
|
settings) are method calls on the relevant objects, so the rule of thumb |
159 |
root |
1.34 |
is: if it's a method, it's not blocking, if it's a function, it takes a |
160 |
root |
1.10 |
callback as last argument. |
161 |
|
|
|
162 |
|
|
In the following, C<$int> signifies an integer return value, |
163 |
root |
1.38 |
C<bdb_filename> is a "filename" (octets on unix, madness on windows), |
164 |
|
|
C<U32> is an unsigned 32 bit integer, C<int> is some integer, C<NV> is a |
165 |
|
|
floating point value. |
166 |
root |
1.10 |
|
167 |
root |
1.41 |
Most C<SV *> types are generic perl scalars (for input and output of data |
168 |
|
|
values). |
169 |
root |
1.10 |
|
170 |
root |
1.11 |
The various C<DB_ENV> etc. arguments are handles return by |
171 |
|
|
C<db_env_create>, C<db_create>, C<txn_begin> and so on. If they have an |
172 |
|
|
appended C<_ornull> this means they are optional and you can pass C<undef> |
173 |
|
|
for them, resulting a NULL pointer on the C level. |
174 |
root |
1.10 |
|
175 |
root |
1.41 |
The C<SV *callback> is the optional callback function to call when the |
176 |
|
|
request is completed. This last callback argument is special: the callback |
177 |
|
|
is simply the last argument passed. If there are "optional" arguments |
178 |
|
|
before the callback they can be left out. The callback itself can be left |
179 |
|
|
out or specified as C<undef>, in which case the function will be executed |
180 |
|
|
synchronously. |
181 |
|
|
|
182 |
|
|
For example, C<db_env_txn_checkpoint> usually is called with all integer |
183 |
|
|
arguments zero. These can be left out, so all of these specify a call |
184 |
|
|
to C<< DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint >>, to be executed asynchronously with a |
185 |
|
|
callback to be called: |
186 |
|
|
|
187 |
|
|
db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, 0, sub { }; |
188 |
|
|
db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, sub { }; |
189 |
|
|
db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, sub { }; |
190 |
|
|
|
191 |
|
|
While these all specify a call to C<< DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint >> to be |
192 |
|
|
executed synchronously: |
193 |
|
|
|
194 |
|
|
db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, 0, undef; |
195 |
|
|
db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, 0; |
196 |

This is not actually a Berkeley DB function but a BDB module |
261 |
|
|
extension. The background for this exytension is: It is very annoying to |
262 |
|
|
have to check every single BDB function for error returns and provide a |
263 |
|
|
codepath out of your transaction. While the BDB module still makes this |

possible, it contains the following extensions: |

transaction. This flag is also set by Berkeley DB functions themselves |
269 |
root |
1.15 |
when an operation fails with LOCK_DEADLOCK, and it causes all further |
270 |
|
|
operations on that transaction (including C<db_txn_commit>) to fail. |
271 |
|
|
|
272 |
|
|
The C<db_txn_finish> request will look at this flag, and, if it is set, |
273 |
|
|
will automatically call C<db_txn_abort> (setting errno to C<LOCK_DEADLOCK> |
274 |
root |
1.16 |
if it isn't set to something else yet). If it isn't set, it will call |
275 |
|
|
C<db_txn_commit> and return the error normally. |
276 |
root |
1.15 |
|
277 |
|
|
How to use this? Easy: just write your transaction normally: |
278 |
|
|
|
279 |
|
|
my $txn = $db_env->txn_begin; |
280 |
|
|
db_get $db, $txn, "key", my $data; |
281 |
|
|
db_put $db, $txn, "key", $data + 1 unless $! == BDB::NOTFOUND; |
282 |
|
|
db_txn_finish $txn; |
283 |
|
|
die "transaction failed" if $!; |
284 |
|
|
|
285 |
|
|
That is, handle only the expected errors. If something unexpected happens |
286 |
|
|
(EIO, LOCK_NOTGRANTED or a deadlock in either db_get or db_put), then the remaining |
287 |
|
|
requests (db_put in this case) will simply be skipped (they will fail with |
288 |
|
|
LOCK_DEADLOCK) and the transaction will be aborted. |
289 |
|
|
|

You can use the C<< $txn->failed >> method to check wether a transaction |
291 |
root |
1.15 |
has failed in this way and abort further processing (excluding |
292 |
|
|
C<db_txn_finish>). |

Return the I<request result pipe file descriptor>. This filehandle must be |
489 |
|
|
polled for reading by some mechanism outside this module (e.g. Event or |
490 |
|
|
select, see below or the SYNOPSIS). If the pipe becomes readable you have |
491 |
|
|
to call C<poll_cb> to check the results. |
492 |

|

See C<poll_cb> for an example. |

=item BDB::poll_cb |
496 |
root |
1.1 |
|
497 |
|
|
Process some outstanding events on the result pipe. You have to call this |
498 |
|
|
regularly. Returns the number of events processed. Returns immediately |
499 |
|
|
when no events are outstanding. The amount of events processed depends on |
500 |
root |
1.2 |
the settings of C<BDB::max_poll_req> and C<BDB::max_poll_time>. |
501 |
root |
1.1 |
|
502 |
|
|
If not all requests were processed for whatever reason, the filehandle |
503 |
|
|
will still be ready when C<poll_cb> returns. |
504 |
|
|
|
505 |
|
|
Example: Install an Event watcher that automatically calls |
506 |
root |
1.2 |
BDB::poll_cb with high priority: |
507 |
root |
1.1 |
|
508 |
root |
1.2 |
Event->io (fd => BDB::poll_fileno, |
509 |
root |
1.1 |
poll => 'r', async => 1, |
510 |
root |

cb => \&BDB::poll_cb); |

514 |
root |
1.2 |
=item BDB::max_poll_time $seconds |
515 |
root |
1.1 |
|
516 |
|
|
These set the maximum number of requests (default C<0>, meaning infinity) |
517 |
root |
1.2 |
that are being processed by C<BDB::poll_cb> in one call, respectively |
518 |
root |
1.1 |
the maximum amount of time (default C<0>, meaning infinity) spent in |
519 |
root |
1.2 |
C<BDB::poll_cb> to process requests (more correctly the mininum amount |
520 |
root |
1.1 |
of time C<poll_cb> is allowed to use). |
521 |
|
|
|
522 |
|
|
Setting C<max_poll_time> to a non-zero value creates an overhead of one |
523 |
|
|
syscall per request processed, which is not normally a problem unless your |
524 |
|
|
callbacks are really really fast or your OS is really really slow (I am |
525 |
|
|
not mentioning Solaris here). Using C<max_poll_reqs> incurs no overhead. |
526 |
|
|
|
527 |
|
|
Setting these is useful if you want to ensure some level of |
528 |
|
|
interactiveness when perl is not fast enough to process all requests in |
529 |
|
|
time. |
530 |
|
|
|
531 |
|
|
For interactive programs, values such as C<0.01> to C<0.1> should be fine. |

|
533 |
root |

Example: Install an EV watcher that automatically calls |
534 |
root |

BDB::poll_cb with low priority, to ensure that other parts of the |

572 |
|
|
|
573 |
|
|
BerkeleyDB comes in various versions, many of them have minor |
574 |
|
|
incompatibilities. This means that traditional "at least version x.x" |
575 |
|
|
checks are often not sufficient. |
576 |
|
|
|
577 |
root |
1.47 |
Example: set the log_autoremove option in a way compatible with <v4.7 and |
578 |
root |
1.40 |
v4.7. Note the use of & on the constants to avoid triggering a compiletime |
579 |
|
|
bug when the symbol isn't available. |

=item BDB::VERSION |
587 |
|
|
|
588 |
|
|
The C<BDB::VERSION> function, when called without arguments, returns the |
589 |
|
|
Berkeley DB version as a v-string (usually with 3 components). You should |
590 |
|
|
use C<lt> and C<ge> operators exclusively to make comparisons. |
591 |
|
|
|
592 |
|
|
Example: check for at least version 4.7. |
593 |
|
|
|
594 |
|
|
BDB::VERSION ge v4.7 or die; |
595 |
|
|
|
596 |
|
|
=item BDB::VERSION min-version |
597 |
|
|
|
598 |
|
|
Returns true if the BDB version is at least the given version (specified |
599 |
|
|
as a v-string), false otherwise. |
600 |
|
|
|
601 |
|
|
Example: check for at least version 4.5. |
602 |
|
|
|
603 |
|
|
BDB::VERSION v4.7 or die; |
604 |
|
|
|
605 |
|
|
=item BDB::VERSION min-version, max-version |
606 |
|
|
|
607 |
|
|
Returns true of the BDB version is at least version C<min-version> (specify C<undef> or C<v0> for any minimum version) |
608 |
|
|
and less then C<max-version>. |
609 |
|
|
|
610 |

|
Example: check wether version is strictly less then v4.7. |

root |
1.18 |
Set the minimum number of BDB threads to C<$nthreads>. The current |
644 |
root |
1.1 |
default is C<8>, which means eight asynchronous operations can execute |
645 |
|
|
concurrently at any one time (the number of outstanding requests, |
646 |
|
|
however, is unlimited). |
647 |
|
|
|
648 |
root |
1.18 |
BDB starts threads only on demand, when an BDB request is queued and |
649 |
root |
1.1 |
no free thread exists. Please note that queueing up a hundred requests can |
650 |
|
|
create demand for a hundred threads, even if it turns out that everything |
651 |
|
|
is in the cache and could have been processed faster by a single thread. |
652 |
|
|
|
653 |
|
|
It is recommended to keep the number of threads relatively low, as some |
654 |
|
|
Linux kernel versions will scale negatively with the number of threads |
655 |
|
|
(higher parallelity => MUCH higher latency). With current Linux 2.6 |
656 |
|
|
versions, 4-32 threads should be fine. |
657 |
|
|
|
658 |
|
|
Under most circumstances you don't need to call this function, as the |
659 |
|
|
module selects a default that is suitable for low to moderate load. |

root |
1.2 |
=item BDB::max_parallel $nthreads |
662 |
root |
1.1 |
|
663 |
root |
1.18 |
Sets the maximum number of BDB threads to C<$nthreads>. If more than the |
664 |
root |
1.1 |
specified number of threads are currently running, this function kills |
665 |
|
|
them. This function blocks until the limit is reached. |
666 |
|
|
|
667 |
|
|
While C<$nthreads> are zero, aio requests get queued but not executed |
668 |
|
|
until the number of threads has been increased again. |
669 |
|
|
|
670 |
|
|
This module automatically runs C<max_parallel 0> at program end, to ensure |
671 |
|
|
that all threads are killed and that there are no outstanding requests. |
672 |
|
|
|
673 |
|
|
Under normal circumstances you don't need to call this function. |
674 |
|
|

675 |
root |
1.2 |
=item BDB::max_idle $nthreads |
676 |
root |
1.1 |
|
677 |
|
|
Limit the number of threads (default: 4) that are allowed to idle (i.e., |
678 |
|
|
threads that did not get a request to process within 10 seconds). That |
679 |
|
|
means if a thread becomes idle while C<$nthreads> other threads are also |
680 |
|
|
idle, it will free its resources and exit. |
681 |
|
|
|
682 |
|
|
This is useful when you allow a large number of threads (e.g. 100 or 1000) |
683 |
|
|
to allow for extremely high load situations, but want to free resources |
684 |
|
|
under normal circumstances (1000 threads can easily consume 30MB of RAM). |
685 |
|
|
|
686 |
|
|
The default is probably ok in most situations, especially if thread |
687 |
|
|
creation is fast. If thread creation is very slow on your system you might |
688 |
|
|
want to use larger values. |

root |
1.2 |
=item $oldmaxreqs = BDB::max_outstanding $maxreqs |
691 |
root |
1.1 |
|
692 |
|
|
This is a very bad function to use in interactive programs because it |
693 |
|
|
blocks, and a bad way to reduce concurrency because it is inexact: Better |
694 |
|
|
use an C<aio_group> together with a feed callback. |
695 |
|
|
|
696 |
|
|
Sets the maximum number of outstanding requests to C<$nreqs>. If you |
697 |
|
|
to queue up more than this number of requests, the next call to the |
698 |
|
|
C<poll_cb> (and C<poll_some> and other functions calling C<poll_cb>) |
699 |
|
|
function will block until the limit is no longer exceeded. |
700 |
|
|
|
701 |
|
|
The default value is very large, so there is no practical limit on the |
702 |
|
|
number of outstanding requests. |
703 |
|
|
|
704 |
|
|
You can still queue as many requests as you want. Therefore, |
705 |
|
|
C<max_oustsanding> is mainly useful in simple scripts (with low values) or |
706 |
|
|
as a stop gap to shield against fatal memory overflow (with large values). |
707 |

|
708 |
root |
1.3 |
=item BDB::set_sync_prepare $cb |
709 |
|
|
|
710 |
|
|
Sets a callback that is called whenever a request is created without an |
711 |
|
|
explicit callback. It has to return two code references. The first is used |
712 |
root |
1.37 |
as the request callback (it should save the return status), and the second |
713 |
|
|
is called to wait until the first callback has been called (it must set |
714 |
|
|
C<$!> to the return status). |
715 |
|
|
|
716 |
|
|
This mechanism can be used to include BDB into other event mechanisms, |
717 |
|
|
such as L<AnyEvent::BDB> or L<Coro::BDB>. |
718 |
|
|
|
719 |
|
|
The default implementation works like this: |
720 |
root |
1.3 |
|
721 |
|
|
sub { |
722 |
|
|
my $status; |
723 |
|
|
( |
724 |
|
|
sub { $status = $! }, |
725 |
|
|
sub { BDB::poll while !defined $status; $! = $status }, |
726 |
|
|
) |
727 |
|
|
} |
728 |
|
|
|
729 |
root |
1.37 |
It simply blocks the process till the request has finished and then sets |
730 |
|
|
C<$!> to the return value. This means that if you don't use a callback, |
731 |
|
|
BDB will simply fall back to synchronous operations. |

=head2 FORK BEHAVIOUR |
783 |
|
|
|
784 |
|
|
This module should do "the right thing" when the process using it forks: |
785 |
|
|
|
786 |
root |
1.18 |
Before the fork, BDB enters a quiescent state where no requests |
787 |
root |
1.1 |
can be added in other threads and no results will be processed. After |
788 |
|
|
the fork the parent simply leaves the quiescent state and continues |
789 |
|
|
request/result processing, while the child frees the request/result queue |
790 |
|
|
(so that the requests started before the fork will only be handled in the |
791 |
|
|
parent). Threads will be started on demand until the limit set in the |
792 |
|
|
parent process has been reached again. |
793 |
|
|
|
794 |
|
|
In short: the parent will, after a short pause, continue as if fork had |
795 |
root |
1.18 |
not been called, while the child will act as if BDB has not been used |
796 |
root |
1.1 |
yet. |
797 |
|
|
|
798 |
root |
1.26 |
Win32 note: there is no fork on win32, and perls emulation of it is too |
799 |
|
|
broken to be supported, so do not use BDB in a windows pseudo-fork, better |
800 |
|
|
yet, switch to a more capable platform. |

=head2 MEMORY USAGE |
803 |
|
|
|
804 |
|
|
Per-request usage: |
805 |
|
|
|
806 |
|
|
Each aio request uses - depending on your architecture - around 100-200 |
807 |
|
|
bytes of memory. In addition, stat requests need a stat buffer (possibly |
808 |
|
|
a few hundred bytes), readdir requires a result buffer and so on. Perl |
809 |
|
|
scalars and other data passed into aio requests will also be locked and |
810 |
|
|
will consume memory till the request has entered the done state. |
811 |
|
|
|
812 |
root |
1.13 |
This is not awfully much, so queuing lots of requests is not usually a |
813 |
root |
1.1 |
problem. |
814 |
|
|
|
815 |
|
|
Per-thread usage: |
816 |
|
|
|
817 |
|
|
In the execution phase, some aio requests require more memory for |
818 |
|
|
temporary buffers, and each thread requires a stack and other data |
819 |
|
|
structures (usually around 16k-128k, depending on the OS). |

|

825 |
|
|
If you use a transaction in any request, and the request returns |
826 |
|
|
with an operating system error or DB_LOCK_NOTGRANTED, the internal |
827 |
|
|
TXN_DEADLOCK flag will be set on the transaction. See C<db_txn_finish>, |
