You shouldn't need to create instances of this class. =head1 DESCRIPTION Given a pool (L) of replicated database's (L), defines a method by which query load can be spread out across each replicant in the pool. =head1 ATTRIBUTES This class defines the following attributes. =head2 master_read_weight A number greater than 0 that specifies what weight to give the master when choosing which backend to execute a read query on. A value of 0, which is the default, does no reads from master, while a value of 1 gives it the same priority as any single replicant. For example: if you have 2 replicants, and a L of C<0.5>, the chance of reading from master will be C<20%>. You can set it to a value higher than 1, making master have higher weight than any single replicant, if for example you have a very powerful master. =cut has master_read_weight => (is => 'rw', isa => Weight, default => sub { 0 }); =head1 METHODS This class defines the following methods. =head2 next_storage Returns an active replicant at random. Please note that due to the nature of the word 'random' this means it's possible for a particular active replicant to be requested several times in a row. =cut sub next_storage { my $self = shift @_; my @replicants = $self->pool->active_replicants; if (not @replicants) { # will fall back to master anyway return; } my $master = $self->master; my $rnd = $self->_random_number(@replicants + $self->master_read_weight); return $rnd >= @replicants ? $master : $replicants[int $rnd]; } sub _random_number { rand($_[1]) } =head1 FURTHER QUESTIONS?
