Detailed Interface

Types

HashHRW::Pool

Type:

record

sites: HashHRW::SiteTable &default = {  } &optional

A collection of sites to distribute keys across.

HashHRW::Site

Type:

record

id: count

A unique identifier for the site, should not exceed what can be contained in a 32-bit integer.

user_data: any &optional

Other data to associate with the site.

A site/node is a unique location to which you want a subset of keys to be distributed.

HashHRW::SiteTable

Type:table [count] of HashHRW::Site

A table of sites, indexed by their id.

Functions

HashHRW::add_site

Type:function (pool: HashHRW::Pool, site: HashHRW::Site) : bool

Add a site to a pool.

Returns:F is the site is already in the pool, else T.

HashHRW::get_site

Type:function (pool: HashHRW::Pool, key: any) : HashHRW::Site Returns:the site to which the key maps.

HashHRW::rem_site

Type:function (pool: HashHRW::Pool, site: HashHRW::Site) : bool

Remove a site from a pool.

Returns:F if the site is not in the pool, else T.
