=head1 NAME
Tie::Hash::MinPerfHashTwoLevel::OnDisk - construct or tie a "two level" minimal perfect hash based on disk
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Tie::Hash::MinPerfHashTwoLevel::OnDisk;
Tie::Hash::MinPerfHashTwoLevel::OnDisk->make_file(
file => $some_file,
source_hash => $some_hash,
comment => "this is a comment",
debug => 0,
);
my %hash;
tie %hash, "Tie::Hash::MinPerfHashTwoLevel::OnDisk", $some_file;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module allows one to either construct, or use a precomputed minimal
perfect hash on disk via tied interface. The disk image of the hash is
loaded by using mmap, which means that multiple processes may use the
same disk image at the same time without memory duplication. The hash
is readonly, and may only contain string values.
=head2 METHODS
=over 4
=item make_file
Construct a new file from a given 'source_hash' argument. Takes the following arguments:
=over 4
=item file
The file name to produce, mandatory.
=item comment
An arbitrary piece of text of your choosing. Can be extracted from
the file later if needed. Only practical restriction on the value is
that it cannot contain a null.
=item seed
A 16 byte string (or a reference to one) to use as the seed for
the hashing and generation process. If this is omitted a standard default
is chosen.
If it should prove impossible to construct a solution using the seed chosen
then a new one will be constructed deterministically from the old until a
solution is found (see L<max_tries>) (prior to version v0.10 this used rand()).
Should you wish to access the seed actually used for the final solution
then you can pass in a reference to a scalar containing your chosen seed.
The reference scalar will be updated after successful construction.
Thus both of the following are valid:
Tie::Hash::MinPerfHashTwoLevel::OnDisk->make_file(seed => "1234567812345678", ...);
Tie::Hash::MinPerfHashTwoLevel::OnDisk->make_file(seed => \my $seed= "1234567812345678", ...);
=item compute_flags
This is an integer which contains various flags which control construction.
They are as follows:
MPH_F_FILTER_UNDEF => 1 - filter keys with undef values
MPH_F_DETERMINISTIC => 2 - repeatable results (sort keys during processing)
MPH_F_NO_DEDUPE => 4 - do not dedupe strings in final buffer
These constants can be imported via the ":flags" tag, but there are also options that
have the equivalent result, see C<no_dedupe>, C<deterministic> and C<filter_undef>.
=item no_dedupe
Speed up construction at the cost of a larger string buffer by disabling
deduplication of values and keys. Same as setting the MPH_F_NO_DEDUPE bit
in compute_flags.
=item deterministic
=item canonical
Produce a canonical result from the source data set, albeit somewhat less quickly
than normal. Note this is independent of supplying a seed, the same seed may produce
a different result for the same set of keys without this option. Same
as setting the MPH_F_DETERMINISTIC bit in compute_flags.
=item filter_undef
Ignore keys with undef values during construction. This means that exists() checks
may differ between source and the constructed hash table, but avoids the need to
store such keys in the resulting file, saving space. Same as setting the
MPH_F_FILTER_UNDEF bit in compute_flags.
=item max_tries
The maximum number of attempts to make to find a solution for this keyset.
Defaults to 3.
=item debug
Enable debug during generation.
=item variant
Select which variant of construction algorithm and file format to produce.
When omitted the variant is determined by the global var
$Tie::Hash::MinPerfHashTwoLevel::DEFAULT_VARIANT
which itself defaults to the latest version. This is mostly for testing,
Older variants will be deprecated and removed eventually.
The list of supported variants is as follows:
5 - Xor, siphash, with inthash, 8 byte alignment, one checksum.
In version 0.15 we switched hash functions to use SipHash(1-3), which
unfortunately made supporting variants prior to 5 impossible.
=back
=item validate_file
Validate the file specified by the 'file' argument. Returns a list of
two values, 'variant' and 'message'. If the file fails validation the 'variant'
will be undef and the 'message' will contain an error message. If the file
passes validation the 'variant' will specify the variant of the file
(currently only 0 is valid), and 'message' will contain some basic information
about the file, such as how many keys it contains, the comment it was
created with, etc.
=back
=head2 SUBS
=over 4
=item mph2l_tied_hashref
Simple wrapper to replace the cumbersome
tie my %hash, "Tie::Hash::MinPerfHashTwoLevel::OnDisk", $file;
with a simple sub that can be imported
my $hashref= mph2l_tied_hashref($file,$validate);
The validate flag causes MPH_F_VALIDATE validations to occur on load.
=item mph2l_make_file
Sub form of L<make_file>. Eg:
use Tie::Hash::MinPerfHashTwoLevel::OnDisk;
Tie::Hash::MinPerfHashTwoLevel::OnDisk->make_file(@args);
is identical to
use Tie::Hash::MinPerfHashTwoLevel::OnDisk qw(mph2l_make_file);
mph2l_make_file(@args);
Sub form of C<make_file()>.
=item mph2l_validate_file
Sub form of C<validate_file()>. Eg:
use Tie::Hash::MinPerfHashTwoLevel::OnDisk;
Tie::Hash::MinPerfHashTwoLevel::OnDisk->validate_file(@args);
is identical to
use Tie::Hash::MinPerfHashTwoLevel::OnDisk qw(mph2l_validate_file);
mph2l_validate_file(@args);
=back
=head2 TIED INTERFACE
my %hash;
tie %hash, "Tie::Hash::MinPerfHashTwoLevel::OnDisk", $some_file, $flags;
will setup %hash to read from the mmapped image on disk as created by make_file().
The underlying image is never altered, and copies of the keys and values are made
when necessary. The flags field is an integer which contains bit-flags to control
the reading process, currently only one flag is supported MPH_F_VALIDATE which enables
a full file checksum before returning (forcing the data to be loaded and then read).
By default this validation is disabled, however basic checks of that the header is
sane will be performed on loading (or "mounting") the image. The tie operation may
die if the file is not found or any of these checks fail.
As this is somewhat cumbersome to type you may want to look at the mph2l_tied_hashref()
function which is wrapper around this function.
=head2 FILE FORMAT
Currently there is only one support file format variant, 5.
The file structure consists of a header, followed by a byte vector of seed/state
data for the hash function, followed by a bucket table with records of a fixed size,
optionally followed by a bitvector of the flags for the keys with two bits per key,
optionally followed by a bitvector of flags for values with one bit per value,
followed by a string table containing the comment for the file and the strings it
contains, and lastly a checksum; the last 8 bytes of the file contain a hash of the
rest of the file. The key flags may be 0 for "latin-1/not-utf8", 1 for "is-utf8",
and 2 for "was-utf8" which is used for keys which can be represented as latin-1,
but should be restored as unicode/utf8. The val flags are similar but do not (need to)
support "was-utf8".
Structure:
Header
Hash-state
Bucket-table
Key flags (optional)
Val flags (optional)
Strings
Checksum
Header:
U32 magic_num -> 1278363728 -> "PH2L"
U32 variant -> 5
U32 num_buckets -> number of buckets/keys in hash
U32 state_ofs -> offset in file where hash preseeded state is found
U32 table_ofs -> offset in file where bucket table starts
U32 key_flags_ofs -> offset in file where key flags are located
U32 val_flags ofs -> offset in file where val flags are located
U32 str_buf_ofs -> offset in file where strings are located
U64 general_flags -> flags used for this header
U64 reserved -> reserved field.
All "_ofs" values in the header are a multiple of 8, and the relevant sections
maybe be null padded to ensure this is so.
The string buffer contains the comment at str_buf_ofs+1, its length can be found
with strlen(), the comment may NOT contain nulls, and will be null terminated. All
other strings in the table are NOT null padded, the length data stored in the
bucket records should be used to determine the length of the keys and values.
The last 8 bytes of the file contains a hash checksum of the rest of the entire
file. This value is itself 8 byte aligned.
Buckets:
U32 xor_val -> the xor_val for this bucket's h1 lookups (0 means none)
for variant 1 and later this may also be treated as a signed
integer, with negative values representing the index of
the bucket which contains the correct key (-index-1).
U32 key_ofs -> offset from str_buf_ofs to find this key (nonzero always)
U32 val_ofs -> offset from str_buf_ofs to find this value (0 means undef)
U16 key_len -> length of key
U16 val_len -> length of value
The hash function used is Siphash 1-3, which uses a 16 byte seed to produce
a 32 byte state vector used for hashing. The file contains the state vector
required for hashing and does not include the original seed.
