NAME

Data::STUID - Yet Another Unique ID Generator

SYNOPSIS

# see Data::STUID::Server
#     Data::STUID::Client
#     Data::STUID::Generator

DESCRIPTION

Minimalistic unique ID generator. Main logic ported from STF (http://github.com/stf-storage/stf).

The generated IDs are always in 64bit range, and can be ordered sequentially, so it's easy to use for sort operations.

SAMPLE SERVER SETUP

For programmatic usage, see Data::STUID::Server

• Install dependencies

  You can do the regular

  perl Build.PL
  ./Build
  ./Build install
  

  and then execute stuid-server directly, but you could also use carton.

  install carton >= 0.9.10, and cpanm >= 1.60002.

  cd /path/to/Data-STUID
  carton install
  # optionally, skip tests: 'PERL_CPANM_OPT=-n carton install'
  

• Execute It!

  Plain usage would be:

  stuid-server --host_id=1
  

  With carton:

  carton exec -I/path/to/Data-STUID/lib -- \
      /path/to/Data-STUID/script/stuid-server \
      --host_id=1
  

  It might be easier if you wrap the above in a shell script, say server.sh:

  #!/bin/sh
  STUID_HOME=/path/to/Data-STUID
  exec \
      carton exec -I$STUID_HOME/lib -- \
      $STUID_HOME/script/stuid-server $@
  

  Then execute it as:

  ./server.sh --host_id=1
  

  Note that you need pass a unique host_id parameter to each distinct STUID server instance

• Tweaks

  Data::STUID::Server is a subclass of Net::Server::PreFork. You should be able to pass parameters that the parent class accepts. If the script doesn't, send me a pullreq!

SAMPLE CLIENT SETUP

For programmatic usage, see Data::STUID::Client

• Install dependencies

  See "SAMPLE SERVER SETUP"(#SAMPLE SERVER SETUP)

• Execute it!

  Plain usage would be:

  stuid-client --server=127.0.0.1:9001 --server=127.0.0.1:9002 ...
  
  
  carton exec -I/path/to/Data-STUID/lib -- \
      /path/to/Data-STUID/script/stuid-client \
           --server=127.0.0.1:9001 --server=127.0.0.1:9002 ...
