Name

lua-resty-bloomd - Is a client library based on ngx_lua to interface with bloomd servers(https://github.com/armon/bloomd)<br/>

Bloomd is a high-performance C server which is used to expose bloom filters and operations over them to networked clients.

Methods

Back to TOC new

syntax: filter_obj = bloomd:new(host, port, timeout)

Create a new bloom filter object.

• IN: the host is the bloomd's host, default is '127.0.0.1'.
• IN: the port is the bloomd's port, default is 8673.
• IN: the timeout is the timeout time in ms, default is 5000ms.

create

syntax: ok, err = filter_obj:create(filter_name, capacity, prob, in_memory)

Create a new filter

• IN: the filter_name is the name of the filter, and can contain the characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, ., _.
• IN: the capacity is provided the filter will be created to store at least that many items in the initial filter. default is 0.001.
• IN: the prob is maximum false positive probability provided.
• IN: the 'in_memory' is to force the filter not to be persisted to disk.

list

syntax: ok, filters = filter_obj:list(filter_prefix)

List all filters or those matching a prefix.<br/>

• OUT: the ok is list status.
• OUT: the filters is a Lua table holding all the matched filter.

for _,filter in ipairs(filters) do 
	ngx.say(filter.name, ",", filter.probability, ",", 
	        filter.storage, ",", filter.capacity, ",",filter.size)
end

drop

syntax: ok, err = filter_obj:drop(filter_name)

Drop a filter (Deletes from disk). On Success Returns ok:true, err:'Done'

close

syntax: ok, err = filter_obj:close(filter_name)

Close a filter (Unmaps from memory, but still accessible). On Success Returns ok:true, err:'Done'

clear

syntax: ok, err = filter_obj:clear(filter_name)

Clear a filter from the lists (Removes memory, left on disk)

check

syntax: ok, status = filter_obj:check(filter_name, key)

Check if a key is in a filter.

• IN: the status is 'Yes'(key exists in filter) or 'No'(if key does not exists in filter).

checks

syntax: ok, status = filter_obj:checks(filter_name, keys)

Check if a list of keys are in a filter

• IN: the keys is a table that contains some keys.
• OUT: the status is a table that contains each key's status('Yes' or 'No').

set

syntax: ok, status = filter_obj:set(filter_name, key)

Set an item in a filter

• OUT: the status is 'Yes'(key is successfully set to the filter) or 'No'(key exists in the filter).

sets

syntax: ok, status = filter_obj:sets(filter_name, keys)

Set many items in a filter at once

• IN: the keys is a table that contains some keys.
• OUT: the status is a table that contains each key's set status('Yes' or 'No').

info

syntax: ok, info = filter_obj:info(filter_name)

Get info about a filter

• OUT: the info is a table like {in_memory:1,set_misses:3,checks:8,capacity:100001, probability:0.001,page_outs:1,size:5,check_hits:5, storage:240141,page_ins:1,set_hits:5,check_misses:3,sets:8}.

flush

syntax: ok, err = filter_obj:flush(filter_name)

Flush a specified filter.

Installation

You need to compile ngx_lua with your Nginx.

You need to configure the lua_package_path directive to add the path of your lua-resty-bloomd source tree to ngx_lua's Lua module search path, as in

# nginx.conf
http {
    lua_package_path "/path/to/lua-resty-bloomd/lib/?.lua;;";
    ...
}

and then load the library in Lua:

bloomd = require "resty.bloomd"
