# NAME

Data::STUID - Yet Another Unique ID Generator

# SYNOPSIS

    # see Data::STUID::Server
    #     Data::STUID::Client
    #     Data::STUID::Generator

# DESCRIPTION

Minimalistic unique ID generator. Main logic ported from STF (http://github.com/stf-storage/stf).

The generated IDs are always in 64bit range, and can be ordered sequentially, so it's easy to use for sort operations.

# SAMPLE SERVER SETUP

For programmatic usage, see [Data::STUID::Server](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Data::STUID::Server)

- Install dependencies

    You can do the regular

        perl Build.PL
        ./Build
        ./Build install

    and then execute `stuid-server` directly, but you could also use `carton`.

    install carton >= 0.9.10, and cpanm >= 1.60002.

        cd /path/to/Data-STUID
        carton install
        # optionally, skip tests: 'PERL_CPANM_OPT=-n carton install'

- Execute It!

    Plain usage would be:

        stuid-server --host_id=1

    With carton:

        carton exec -I/path/to/Data-STUID/lib -- \
            /path/to/Data-STUID/script/stuid-server \
            --host_id=1

    It might be easier if you wrap the above in a shell script, say server.sh:

        #!/bin/sh
        STUID_HOME=/path/to/Data-STUID
        exec \
            carton exec -I$STUID_HOME/lib -- \
            $STUID_HOME/script/stuid-server $@

    Then execute it as:

        ./server.sh --host_id=1

    Note that you need pass a unique `host_id` parameter to each distinct STUID
    server instance

- Tweaks

    `Data::STUID::Server` is a subclass of [Net::Server::PreFork](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Net::Server::PreFork). You should be able to pass parameters that the parent class accepts. If the script doesn't, send me a pullreq!

# SAMPLE CLIENT SETUP

For programmatic usage, see [Data::STUID::Client](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Data::STUID::Client)

- Install dependencies

    See ["SAMPLE SERVER SETUP"](#SAMPLE SERVER SETUP)

- Execute it!

    Plain usage would be:

        stuid-client --server=127.0.0.1:9001 --server=127.0.0.1:9002 ...

        carton exec -I/path/to/Data-STUID/lib -- \
            /path/to/Data-STUID/script/stuid-client \
                 --server=127.0.0.1:9001 --server=127.0.0.1:9002 ...
