=head1 NAME

DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated - BETA Replicated database support

=head1 SYNOPSIS

The Following example shows how to change an existing $schema to a replicated
storage type, add some replicated (readonly) databases, and perform reporting
tasks.

  ## Change storage_type in your schema class
  $schema->storage_type( ['::DBI::Replicated', {balancer=>'::Random'}] );
  
  ## Add some slaves.  Basically this is an array of arrayrefs, where each
  ## arrayref is database connect information
  
  $schema->storage->connect_replicants(
    [$dsn1, $user, $pass, \%opts],
    [$dsn2, $user, $pass, \%opts],
    [$dsn3, $user, $pass, \%opts],
  );
  
  ## Now, just use the $schema as normal
  $schema->resultset('Source')->search({name=>'etc'});
  
  ## You can force a given query to use a particular storage using the search
  ### attribute 'force_pool'.  For example:
  
  my $RS = $schema->resultset('Source')->search(undef, {force_pool=>'master'});
  
  ## Now $RS will force everything (both reads and writes) to use whatever was
  ## setup as the master storage.  'master' is hardcoded to always point to the
  ## Master, but you can also use any Replicant name.  Please see:
  ## L<DBIx::Class::Storage::Replicated::Pool> and the replicants attribute for
  ## More. Also see transactions and L</execute_reliably> for alternative ways
  ## to force read traffic to the master.
  
=head1 DESCRIPTION

Warning: This class is marked BETA.  This has been running a production
website using MySQL native replication as its backend and we have some decent
test coverage but the code hasn't yet been stressed by a variety of databases.
Individual DB's may have quirks we are not aware of.  Please use this in first
development and pass along your experiences/bug fixes.

This class implements replicated data store for DBI. Currently you can define
one master and numerous slave database connections. All write-type queries
(INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE and even LAST_INSERT_ID) are routed to master
database, all read-type queries (SELECTs) go to the slave database.

Basically, any method request that L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI> would normally
handle gets delegated to one of the two attributes: L</read_handler> or to
L</write_handler>.  Additionally, some methods need to be distributed
to all existing storages.  This way our storage class is a drop in replacement
for L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI>.

Read traffic is spread across the replicants (slaves) occuring to a user
selected algorithm.  The default algorithm is random weighted.

=head1 NOTES

The consistancy betweeen master and replicants is database specific.  The Pool
gives you a method to validate it's replicants, removing and replacing them
when they fail/pass predefined criteria.  Please make careful use of the ways
to force a query to run against Master when needed.

=head1 REQUIREMENTS

Replicated Storage has additional requirements not currently part of L<DBIx::Class>

  Moose => 1.54
  MooseX::AttributeHelpers => 0.12 
  Moose::Util::TypeConstraints => 0.54
  Class::MOP => 0.63
  
You will need to install these modules manually via CPAN or make them part of the
Makefile for your distribution.

=head2 balancer_type

The replication pool requires a balance class to provider the methods for
choose how to spread the query load across each replicant in the pool.

=cut

subtype 'DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated::BalancerClassNamePart',
  as 'ClassName';
    
coerce 'DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated::BalancerClassNamePart',
  from 'Str',

See L<DBIx::Class::Storage::Replicated::Balancer> for available arguments.

=cut

has 'balancer_args' => (
  is=>'ro',
  isa=>'HashRef',
  lazy=>1,
  required=>1,
  default=>sub { {} },
);

=head2 pool

Is a <DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated::Pool> or derived class.  This is a
container class for one or more replicated databases.

=cut

has 'pool' => (
  is=>'ro',
  isa=>'DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated::Pool',
  lazy_build=>1,
  handles=>[qw/

    replicants
    has_replicants
  /],

  is=>'ro',
  isa=>'DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated::Balancer',
  lazy_build=>1,
  handles=>[qw/auto_validate_every/],
);

=head2 master

The master defines the canonical state for a pool of connected databases.  All
the replicants are expected to match this databases state.  Thus, in a classic
Master / Slaves distributed system, all the slaves are expected to replicate
the Master's state as quick as possible.  This is the only database in the
pool of databases that is allowed to handle write traffic.

=head1 METHODS

This class defines the following methods.

=head2 BUILDARGS

L<DBIx::Class::Schema> when instantiating it's storage passed itself as the
first argument.  So we need to massage the arguments a bit so that all the
bits get put into the correct places.

=cut

sub BUILDARGS {
  my ($class, $schema, $storage_type_args, @args) = @_;	
  
  return {
  	schema=>$schema, 
  	%$storage_type_args,
  	@args
  }
}

=head2 _build_master

Lazy builder for the L</master> attribute.

=cut

sub _build_master {
  my $self = shift @_;
  DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI->new($self->schema);
}

=head2 _build_pool

Lazy builder for the L</pool> attribute.

=cut

sub _build_pool {
  my $self = shift @_;
  $self->create_pool(%{$self->pool_args});
}

=head2 _build_balancer

Lazy builder for the L</balancer> attribute.  This takes a Pool object so that
the balancer knows which pool it's balancing.

=cut

sub _build_balancer {
  my $self = shift @_;
  $self->create_balancer(
    pool=>$self->pool, 
    master=>$self->master,
    %{$self->balancer_args},
  );
}

=head2 _build_write_handler

Lazy builder for the L</write_handler> attribute.  The default is to set this to
the L</master>.

=cut

sub _build_write_handler {
  return shift->master;
}

=head2 _build_read_handler

Lazy builder for the L</read_handler> attribute.  The default is to set this to
the L</balancer>.

=cut

sub _build_read_handler {
  return shift->balancer;
}

=head2 around: connect_replicants

All calls to connect_replicants needs to have an existing $schema tacked onto
top of the args, since L<DBIx::Storage::DBI> needs it.

=cut

around 'connect_replicants' => sub {
  my ($method, $self, @args) = @_;
  $self->$method($self->schema, @args);
};

=head2 all_storages

Returns an array of of all the connected storage backends.  The first element
in the returned array is the master, and the remainings are each of the
replicants.

=cut

sub all_storages {
  my $self = shift @_;
  return grep {defined $_ && blessed $_} (
     $self->master,
     $self->replicants,
  );
}

=head2 execute_reliably ($coderef, ?@args)

Given a coderef, saves the current state of the L</read_handler>, forces it to
use reliable storage (ie sets it to the master), executes a coderef and then
restores the original state.

Example:

  my $reliably = sub {
    my $name = shift @_;
    $schema->resultset('User')->create({name=>$name});
    my $user_rs = $schema->resultset('User')->find({name=>$name}); 
    return $user_rs;
  };

  my $user_rs = $schema->storage->execute_reliably($reliably, 'John');

Use this when you must be certain of your database state, such as when you just
inserted something and need to get a resultset including it, etc.

=cut

sub execute_reliably {
  my ($self, $coderef, @args) = @_;
  
  unless( ref $coderef eq 'CODE') {
    $self->throw_exception('Second argument must be a coderef');
  }
  
  ##Get copy of master storage
  my $master = $self->master;
  
  ##Get whatever the current read hander is
  my $current = $self->read_handler;
  
  ##Set the read handler to master
  $self->read_handler($master);
  
  ## do whatever the caller needs
  my @result;
  my $want_array = wantarray;
  
  eval {
    if($want_array) {
      @result = $coderef->(@args);
    } elsif(defined $want_array) {
      ($result[0]) = ($coderef->(@args));
    } else {
      $coderef->(@args);
    }       
  };
  
  ##Reset to the original state
  $self->read_handler($current); 
  
  ##Exception testing has to come last, otherwise you might leave the 
  ##read_handler set to master.
  
  if($@) {
    $self->throw_exception("coderef returned an error: $@");
  } else {
    return $want_array ? @result : $result[0];
  }
}

=head2 set_reliable_storage

Sets the current $schema to be 'reliable', that is all queries, both read and
write are sent to the master
  
=cut

sub set_reliable_storage {
  my $self = shift @_;
  my $schema = $self->schema;
  my $write_handler = $self->schema->storage->write_handler;
  
  $schema->storage->read_handler($write_handler);
}

=head2 set_balanced_storage

Sets the current $schema to be use the </balancer> for all reads, while all
writea are sent to the master only
  
=cut

sub set_balanced_storage {
  my $self = shift @_;
  my $schema = $self->schema;
  my $write_handler = $self->schema->storage->balancer;
  
  $schema->storage->read_handler($write_handler);
}

=head2 around: txn_do ($coderef)

Overload to the txn_do method, which is delegated to whatever the
L<write_handler> is set to.  We overload this in order to wrap in inside a
L</execute_reliably> method.

=cut

around 'txn_do' => sub {
  my($txn_do, $self, $coderef, @args) = @_;
  $self->execute_reliably(sub {$self->$txn_do($coderef, @args)}); 
};

=head2 connected

=head1 GOTCHAS

Due to the fact that replicants can lag behind a master, you must take care to
make sure you use one of the methods to force read queries to a master should
you need realtime data integrity.  For example, if you insert a row, and then
immediately re-read it from the database (say, by doing $row->discard_changes)
or you insert a row and then immediately build a query that expects that row
to be an item, you should force the master to handle reads.  Otherwise, due to
the lag, there is no certainty your data will be in the expected state.

For data integrity, all transactions automatically use the master storage for
all read and write queries.  Using a transaction is the preferred and recommended
method to force the master to handle all read queries.

Otherwise, you can force a single query to use the master with the 'force_pool'
attribute:

  my $row = $resultset->search(undef, {force_pool=>'master'})->find($pk);

This attribute will safely be ignore by non replicated storages, so you can use
the same code for both types of systems.

Lastly, you can use the L</execute_reliably> method, which works very much like
a transaction.

For debugging, you can turn replication on/off with the methods L</set_reliable_storage>
and L</set_balanced_storage>, however this operates at a global level and is not
suitable if you have a shared Schema object being used by multiple processes,
such as on a web application server.  You can get around this limitation by
using the Schema clone method.

  my $new_schema = $schema->clone;
  $new_schema->set_reliable_storage;
  
  ## $new_schema will use only the Master storage for all reads/writes while
  ## the $schema object will use replicated storage.
