=head1 NAME
DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated::Balancer::Random - A 'random' Balancer
=head1 SYNOPSIS
This class is used internally by L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated>. You
shouldn't need to create instances of this class.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Given a pool (L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated::Pool>) of replicated
database's (L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated::Replicant>), defines a
method by which query load can be spread out across each replicant in the pool.
This Balancer uses L<List::Util> keyword 'shuffle' to randomly pick an active
replicant from the associated pool. This may or may not be random enough for
you, patches welcome.
=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</master_read_weight> 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.

=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.
