libworld

libworld is a small toy library which provides an associative array with asynchronous replication to many clients.

Concepts

• Adopt a simple master-slave topology. (neither multi-master, nor peer-to-peer)
• Aim at making a master be capable of replicating data up to 1k slaves.
• Prefer stability and lowness of latency rather than throughput.
• Assume a reliable network. (intended to do with TCP)
• Never implement an encryption layer, a compression layer, and so on.
• Never support the memcached protocols.
• Suppose a compiler complying with the C11 language standard. (esp. Clang, GCC)
• Suppose a platform conforming to POSIX.1-2008. (esp. Linux, OS X)

API Overview

Refer to include/world.h.

In addition, an end-to-end test (test/e2e/world.c) may help you to see.

Note, however, that the API is unstable and the implementation is highly error-prone at the present.
