Tie::Array::QueueExpire - Introduction ^

  Tie::Array::QueueExpire - Tie an ARRAY over a TokyCabinet Btree DB ( see http://tokyocabinet.sourceforge.net )
  Revision: 1.01

SYNOPSIS ^

  use Tie::Array::QueueExpire;
  my $t = tie( my @myarray, "Tie::Array::QueueExpire", '/tmp/db_test.bdb' );
  push @myarray, int rand 1000;
  
  # normal ARRAY function
  my $data = shift @myarray;
  my $data = pop @myarray;
  print "this elem exists\n"  if (exists( $myarray[6]));
  print "size = ". scalar( @myarray )."\n";
  
  # using the PUSH with an extra parameter to put the new element in futur
  # also return the key of the inserted value
  for ( 1 .. 10 )
  {
    say  "t=".time.'  '.  int (($t->PUSH( $_ . ' ' . time, 10 ))/1000);
    sleep 1;
  }
  sleep 10;  
  # Get the expired elements ( 7 seconds before now )
  my $ex = $t->EXPIRE( 7 );
 
  # Get the expired elements
  my @EXP = @{$t->EXPIRE($exp)};
  # Get and delete the expired elements ( 20 seconds before now )
  $ex =  $t->EXPIRE(20,1);
  my @EXP = @{$t->EXPIRE($exp,1)};
  
  # fetch element
  # in scalar context return the value 
  # in array context return in first element the key and in second, the value
  my $a =$t->FETCH(6);
  my @b = $t->FETCH(6);
  # the normal array fetch is always in scalar mode
  my @c=$myarray[6];
  say Dumper( $a );
  say Dumper( \@b );
  say Dumper( \@c );

DESCRIPTION ^

  Tie an ARRAY over a TokyCabinet Btree DB and allow to get or deleted expired data;
  
  This module require Time::HiRes, TokyoCabinet (database and perl module.)
  The insertion is ms unique ( 0.001 seconds )
  
  The normal ARRAY function present are
  
  push
  pop
  shift
  exits
  scalar
  clear
  unshift  (but put data 1 second before the first entry)

  The following function is not completely iplemented.
  
  splice
  
  The following function are not implemented.
  
  extend
  store
  STORESIZE

  The following function are specific of this module.
  
  LAST
  FIRST
  EXPIRE
  OPTIMIZE
  PUSH
  FETCH

Basic ARRAY functions ^

tie

        Tie an array over a TokyoCabinet DB
        my $t = tie( my @myarray, "Tie::Array::QueueExpire", '/tmp/db_test.bdb' );
        The fist parameter if the TokyoCabinet file used (or created)
        Four optional parameter are allowed
        In place two, a flag to serialize the data in the DB
        In place three, an octal MASK allow to set the permission of the DB created
                The default permission is 0600 (-rw-------) 
        In place four a parameter to delete the DB file if present and corrupted
                The default value is 0 (don't delete the file)
        In place five a parameter to exit on error when opening the DB file
                The default value is 0 (don't exit, only report error)

FETCH

        Retrieve a specific key from the array
        my $data = $myarray[6];
        or
        my $data = $t->FETCH(6);
        or 
        my @data = $t->FETCH(6);
        where 
          $data[0] = insertion key
        and 
          $data[1] = value 

FETCHSIZE

        Get the size of the array
        my $data = scalar(@myarray);

PUSH

        Add an element at the end of the array
        push @myarray , 45646;
        or 
        $t->PUSH( 45646 );
        it is also possible to add an elemnt with a offset expiration 
        $t->PUSH( 45646 , 10 );
        add element in the array to be expired in 10 seconds
        if the offset is negative, add the expiration in past

EXISTS

        Test if en element in the array exist
        print "element exists\n" if (exits $myarray[5]);
        return the insertion key

POP

        Extract the latest element from the array (the youngest)
        my $data = pop @myarray;
        or
        my $data = $t->POP();
        or 
        my @data = $t->POP();
        where 
          $data[0] = insertion key
        and 
          $data[1] = value 

SHIFT

        Extract the first element from the array  (the oldest)
        my $data = shift @myarray;
        or
        my $data = $t->SHIFT();
        or 
        my @data = $t->SHIFT();
       where 
          $data[0] = insertion key
        and 
          $data[1] = value 

UNSHIFT

        Add an element in the front of the array
        unshift @myarray , 45646;
        UNSHIFT data 1 mili-second before the first item

CLEAR

        Delete all element in the array
        $t->CLEAR;

DESTROY

        Normal destructor call when untied the array
        Normaly never called by user

Specific functions from this module ^

SPLICE

        SPLICE don't allow a list replacement 
        because the insert order is made by time.
        my @tmp   = splice @myarray, 5 ,3;

LAST

        Get the latest element in the array (oldest)
        my $data = $t->LAST;
        or
        my @data = $t->LAST;
        where 
          $data[0] = insertion key
        and 
          $data[1] = value 

FIRST

        Get the first element in the array (youngest)
        my $data =$t->FIRST;
        or
        my @data = $t->FIRST;
        where 
          $data[0] = insertion key
        and 
          $data[1] = value 

EXPIRE

        Get the elements expired in the array.
        my @ALL = $t->EXPIRE( 1207840028) ;
        return a refernce to an array with all the expired value.
        
        If a second parameter is provided and not null, the data are also deleted from the array.
        my @ALL = $t->EXPIRE( 1207840028 , 1 ) ;
        return a refernce to an array with all the expired value.

OPTIMIZE

        Function to compact the DB (after a lot of delete )
        $t->OPTIMIZE;

Functions not Implemented ^

EXTEND

        Not implemented because not signifiant for a expiration queue

STORE

        Not implemented because not signifiant for a expiration queue

STORESIZE

        Not implemented because not signifiant for a expiration queue

TODO ^

        - make test
        - implementation of EXTEND to allow clear of array with @myarray = ();
        - implementation of STORESIZE to allow clear of array with $#myarray = -1;
