A pod is a collection of asynchronous connections that +are run simultaneously to achieve broadcast searching and retrieval. +When a pod is created, a set of connections (or target-strings to +connect to) are specified. Thereafter, they are treated as a unit, +and methods for searching, option-setting, etc. that are invoked on +the pod are delegated to each of its members. + +The key method on a pod is C, which enters a loop accepting +and dispatching events occurring on any of the connections in the pod. +Unless interrupted,the loop runs until there are no more events left, +i.e. no searches are outstanding and no requested records have still +to be received. + +Event dispatching is done by means of callback functions, which can be +registered for each event. A registered callback is invoked whenever +a corresponding event occurs. A special callback can be nominated to +handle errors. =head1 METHODS +=head2 new() + + $pod = new ZOOM::Pod($conn1, $conn2, $conn3); + $pod = new ZOOM::Pod("bagel.indexdata.com/gils", + "bagel.indexdata.com/marc"); + + +Creates a new pod containing one or more connections.

It is +acceptable to nominate the same function as the callback for multiple +events, by multiple invocations of C. + +When an event occurs during the execution of C, the relevant +callback function is passed four arguments: the connection that the +event happened on; a state hash-reference associated with the +connection; the result-set associated with the connection; and the +event-type (so that a single function that handles events of multiple +types can switch on the code where necessary). The callback function +can handle the event as it wishes, finishing up by returning an +integer. If this is zero, then C continues as normal; if it +is anything else, then that value is immediately returned from +C. + +So a typical, simple, event-handler might look like this: + + sub got_event { + ($conn, $state, $rs, $event) = @_; + print "event $event on connection ", $conn->option("host"), "\n"; + print "Found ", $rs->size(), " records\n" + if $event == ZOOM::Event::RECV_SEARCH; + return 0; + } + +In addition to the event-type callbacks discussed above, there is a +special callback, C<"exception">, which is invoked if an exception +occurs. This will nearly always be a ZOOM error, but this can be +tested using C. This callback is +invoked with the same arguments as described above, except that +instead of the event-type, the fourth argument is a copy of the +exception, C<$@>. Exception-handling callbacks may of course re-throw +the exception using C. + +So a simple error-handler might look like this: + + sub got_error { + ($conn, $state, $rs, $exception) = @_; + if ($exception->isa("ZOOM::Exception")) { + print "Caught error $exception -- continuing"; + return 0; + } + die $exception; + } + +I<### state> + +=cut + sub callback { my $this = shift(); my($event, $sub) = @_; @@ -95,6 +200,17 @@ sub callback { return $old; } +=head2 search_pqf() + +I<###> + +B +An important simplifying assumption is that each connection can only +have one search active on it at a time - this allows the pod to +maintain a one-to-one mapping between connections and result-sets. + +=cut + sub search_pqf { my $this = shift(); my($pqf) = @_; @@ -104,6 +220,12 @@ sub search_pqf { } } +=head2 wait() + +I<###> + +=cut + sub wait { my $this = shift(); my $res = 0;
