This is a Perl client for the bloomd server.

Travis status:

Basic installation

This distribution is on CPAN, so you might want to use your preferred CPAN client to install it:

# using cpanminus
cpanm Bloomd::Client

# using regular cpan
cpan Bloom::Client

If you'd like to install it from the source, see the last section of this file

All the commands from bloomd protocol are wrapped in a method with the same name. Return values are converted to Perl types (e.g. 1/<empty string> instead of Yes/No)

use feature ':5.12';
use Bloomd::Client;
my $b = Bloomd::Client->new;
my $filter = 'test_filter';
$b->create($filter);
my $array_ref = $b->list();
my $hash_ref = $b->info($filter);
$b->set($filter, 'u1');
if ($b->check($filter, 'u1')) { say "it exists!" }
my $hashref = $b->multi( $filter, qw(u1 u2 u3) );

You can set the timeout option to the constructor. The timeout will be on reading and on writing to the socket. It can be a float, up to microseconds.

Check out the documentation on metacpan.

The master branch uses DistZilla. If you'd like to simply build this distribution from source, use the build/master branch, and issue:

perl Build.PL
./Build test
./Build install

If you want to run the tests against a running bloomd server, you'll need to set BLOOMD_HOST and BLOOMD_PORT:

BLOOMD_HOST=127.0.0.1 BLOOMD_PORT=8673 ./Build test

It's OK to submit Pull Requests against the build/master branch, but it's easier for me to merge the patch if you use the master branch. For that you need to install Dist::Zilla ( with cpan Dist::Zilla or using cpanm). Then:

dzil authordeps --missing | cpan
dzil listdeps --missing | cpan
dzil build

If you want to run the tests against a running bloomd server, you'll need to set BLOOMD_HOST and BLOOMD_PORT:

BLOOMD_HOST=127.0.0.1 BLOOMD_PORT=8673 dzil test
