41 DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated - BETA Replicated database support
45 The Following example shows how to change an existing $schema to a replicated
46 storage type, add some replicated (readonly) databases, and perform reporting
49 You should set the 'storage_type attribute to a replicated type. You should
50 also define your arguments, such as which balancer you want and any arguments
51 that the Pool object should get.
53 my $schema = Schema::Class->clone;
54 $schema->storage_type( ['::DBI::Replicated', {balancer=>'::Random'}] );
55 $schema->connection(...);
57 Next, you need to add in the Replicants. Basically this is an array of
58 arrayrefs, where each arrayref is database connect information. Think of these
59 arguments as what you'd pass to the 'normal' $schema->connect method.
61 $schema->storage->connect_replicants(
62 [$dsn1, $user, $pass, \%opts],
63 [$dsn2, $user, $pass, \%opts],
64 [$dsn3, $user, $pass, \%opts],
67 Now, just use the $schema as you normally would. Automatically all reads will
68 be delegated to the replicants, while writes to the master.
70 $schema->resultset('Source')->search({name=>'etc'});
72 You can force a given query to use a particular storage using the search
73 attribute 'force_pool'. For example:
75 my $RS = $schema->resultset('Source')->search(undef, {force_pool=>'master'});
77 Now $RS will force everything (both reads and writes) to use whatever was setup
78 as the master storage. 'master' is hardcoded to always point to the Master,
79 but you can also use any Replicant name. Please see:
80 L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated::Pool> and the replicants attribute for more.
82 Also see transactions and L</execute_reliably> for alternative ways to
83 force read traffic to the master. In general, you should wrap your statements
84 in a transaction when you are reading and writing to the same tables at the
85 same time, since your replicants will often lag a bit behind the master.
87 See L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated::Instructions> for more help and
92 Warning: This class is marked BETA. This has been running a production
93 website using MySQL native replication as its backend and we have some decent
94 test coverage but the code hasn't yet been stressed by a variety of databases.
95 Individual DB's may have quirks we are not aware of. Please use this in first
96 development and pass along your experiences/bug fixes.
98 This class implements replicated data store for DBI. Currently you can define
99 one master and numerous slave database connections. All write-type queries
100 (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE and even LAST_INSERT_ID) are routed to master
101 database, all read-type queries (SELECTs) go to the slave database.
103 Basically, any method request that L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI> would normally
104 handle gets delegated to one of the two attributes: L</read_handler> or to
105 L</write_handler>. Additionally, some methods need to be distributed
106 to all existing storages. This way our storage class is a drop in replacement
107 for L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI>.
109 Read traffic is spread across the replicants (slaves) occuring to a user
110 selected algorithm. The default algorithm is random weighted.
114 The consistancy betweeen master and replicants is database specific. The Pool
115 gives you a method to validate its replicants, removing and replacing them
116 when they fail/pass predefined criteria. Please make careful use of the ways
117 to force a query to run against Master when needed.
121 Replicated Storage has additional requirements not currently part of L<DBIx::Class>
124 MooseX::Types => '0.21',
125 namespace::clean => '0.11',
126 Hash::Merge => '0.11'
128 You will need to install these modules manually via CPAN or make them part of the
129 Makefile for your distribution.
133 This class defines the following attributes.
137 The underlying L<DBIx::Class::Schema> object this storage is attaching
150 Contains the classname which will instantiate the L</pool> object. Defaults
151 to: L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated::Pool>.
158 default=>'DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated::Pool',
160 'create_pool' => 'new',
166 Contains a hashref of initialized information to pass to the Balancer object.
167 See L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated::Pool> for available arguments.
181 The replication pool requires a balance class to provider the methods for

239 isa=>'DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated::Balancer',
241 handles=>[qw/auto_validate_every/],
246 The master defines the canonical state for a pool of connected databases. All
247 the replicants are expected to match this databases state. Thus, in a classic
248 Master / Slaves distributed system, all the slaves are expected to replicate
249 the Master's state as quick as possible. This is the only database in the
250 pool of databases that is allowed to handle write traffic.

817 Due to the fact that replicants can lag behind a master, you must take care to
818 make sure you use one of the methods to force read queries to a master should
819 you need realtime data integrity. For example, if you insert a row, and then
820 immediately re-read it from the database (say, by doing $row->discard_changes)
821 or you insert a row and then immediately build a query that expects that row
822 to be an item, you should force the master to handle reads. Otherwise, due to
823 the lag, there is no certainty your data will be in the expected state.
825 For data integrity, all transactions automatically use the master storage for
826 all read and write queries. Using a transaction is the preferred and recommended
827 method to force the master to handle all read queries.
829 Otherwise, you can force a single query to use the master with the 'force_pool'
832 my $row = $resultset->search(undef, {force_pool=>'master'})->find($pk);
834 This attribute will safely be ignore by non replicated storages, so you can use
835 the same code for both types of systems.
837 Lastly, you can use the L</execute_reliably> method, which works very much like
840 For debugging, you can turn replication on/off with the methods L</set_reliable_storage>
841 and L</set_balanced_storage>, however this operates at a global level and is not
842 suitable if you have a shared Schema object being used by multiple processes,
843 such as on a web application server. You can get around this limitation by
844 using the Schema clone method.
846 my $new_schema = $schema->clone;
847 $new_schema->set_reliable_storage;
849 ## $new_schema will use only the Master storage for all reads/writes while
850 ## the $schema object will use replicated storage.
