💖 AnyEve...ithNext(3pm) — like, the whole vibe 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair 🫶 this is the manpage for AnyEvent::Memcached::Hash::WithNext, living its best life in section 3pm (that's Perl module docs, iykyk). It's a hashing algorythm for AE::Memcached — and yes, that's literally how it's spelled up top, we don't gatekeep spelling around here ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

AnyEvent::Memcached::Hash::WithNext — a hashing algorythm for AE::Memcached. no cap, that's the whole name, that's the whole job 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the tea, copy-paste ready:

    my $memd = AnyEvent::Memcached->new(
        servers => [ "10.0.0.15:10001", "10.0.0.15:10002", "10.0.0.15:10003" ],
        # ...
        hasher  => 'AnyEvent::Memcached::Hash::WithNext',
    );
    $memd->set(key => "val", ...) # will put key on 2 servers

see that last line? 👀 one set, two servers. that's the whole personality of this module right there.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the way that this works is: it uses the same hashing, as default — like, the exact same one you'd get if you didn't pass a hasher at all — but then it always put key to server, next after chosen.

translation for the group chat: it picks your server like normal, then it also drops the key on the next one in line. the result? twice-replicated data. two copies, no extra effort, main character energy 🎀

and the point of all that doubling up? it's useful for usage with memcachdb. that's it, that's the reason, go forth and replicate 🔥
