is a distributed database for unstructured data
Functions
get
get
will retrive the data from all neighbors and check which update is the newest.
After finding the newest change, the data will be shared.
[!NOTE] This has no affect on the data on the current node. If you want the data to be merged, call the
sync
function
Database.Database.get_worker("worker1")
|> GenServer.call({:get, "topic", "key"})
get_local
get_local
will only retrive data from the current node.
Thus, this operation is significantly faster.
Database.Database.get_worker("worker1")
|> GenServer.call({:get_local, "topic", "key"})
put
put
will store the data on the current node.
Data with the same key in the same topic will be overwritten, but the old data will be kept in the history.
Database.Database.get_worker("worker1")
|> GenServer.call({:put, "topic", "key", "value"})
put (With optimistic locking)
put
with optimistic locking is similar to the normal put operation.
However, you can specify the expected current state and only if the expection matches with the data on the node, the new data will be stored.
[!NOTE] In some cases you want the data to be expected on all nodes, this can currently only be somewhat archived by calling the
sync
function before
Database.Database.get_worker("worker1")
|> GenServer.call({:put, "topic", "key", "currentValue", "newValue"})
sync
sync
will merge the data from all neighbors.
The data with the newest timestamp is considered the current state.
Database.Database.get_worker("worker1")
|> GenServer.call({:sync, "topic"})
