GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several
peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA
or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network file
system. GlusterFS is one of the most sophisticated file system in
terms of features and extensibility. It borrows a powerful concept
called Translators from GNU Hurd kernel. Much of the code in GlusterFS
is in userspace and easily manageable.

Danga MogileFS

You run a Gearman server (or more likely, many of them for both high-availability and load balancing), then have workers (using Gearman::Worker from the Gearman module, or libraries for other languages) register their ability to do certain functions to all of them, and then clients (using Gearman::Client, Gearman::Client::Async, etc) request work to be done from one of the Gearman servers.

The servers connect them, routing function call requests to the appropriate workers, multiplexing responses to duplicate requests as requested, etc.

More than likely, you want to use the provided gearmand wrapper script, and not use Gearman::Server directly.

MogileFS::Server - MogileFS (distributed filesystem) server

Please refer to the documentation for the tools included in this distribution.

This is an abstract base class for objects backed by a socket which provides the basic framework for event-driven asynchronous IO, designed to be fast. Danga::Socket is both a base class for objects, and an event loop.

Callers subclass Danga::Socket. Danga::Socket's constructor registers itself with the Danga::Socket event loop, and invokes callbacks on the object for readability, writability, errors, and other conditions.

Because Danga::Socket uses the "fields" module, your subclasses must too.

Gearman::Client is a client class for the Gearman distributed job system, providing a framework for sending jobs to one or more Gearman servers. These jobs are then distributed out to a farm of workers.

Callers instantiate a Gearman::Client object and from it dispatch single tasks, sets of tasks, or check on the status of tasks.

Asynchronous client module for Gearman for Danga::Socket applications

This module implements asynchronous I/O using whatever means your operating system supports.

Asynchronous means that operations that can normally block your program (e.g. reading from disk) will be done asynchronously: the operation will still block, but you can do something else in the meantime. This is extremely useful for programs that need to stay interactive even when doing heavy I/O (GUI programs, high performance network servers etc.), but can also be used to easily do operations in parallel that are normally done sequentially, e.g. stat'ing many files, which is much faster on a RAID volume or over NFS when you do a number of stat operations concurrently.

While most of this works on all types of file descriptors (for example sockets), using these functions on file descriptors that support nonblocking operation (again, sockets, pipes etc.) is very inefficient. Use an event loop for that (such as the Event module): IO::AIO will naturally fit into such an event loop itself.

In this version, a number of threads are started that execute your requests and signal their completion. You don't need thread support in perl, and the threads created by this module will not be visible to perl. In the future, this module might make use of the native aio functions available on many operating systems. However, they are often not well-supported or restricted (GNU/Linux doesn't allow them on normal files currently, for example), and they would only support aio_read and aio_write, so the remaining functionality would have to be implemented using threads anyway.

Although the module will work in the presence of other (Perl-) threads, it is currently not reentrant in any way, so use appropriate locking yourself, always call poll_cb from within the same thread, or never call poll_cb (or other aio_ functions) recursively.

This module is a client library for the MogileFS distributed file system. The class method 'new' creates a client object against a particular mogilefs tracker and domain. This object may then be used to store and retrieve content easily from MogileFS.
