PHP hash strategy library including random, sorted, consistent

Usage

Strategies

Values are added to an index with a specific weighting. They are fetched according to the strategy and the hashing $key passed to get().

• Consistent
  • The same value(s) will always be returned for the given $key.
  • Weighting is used to increase the likelihood of a value being returned.
• Ordered
  • Values are returned in order of decreasing weight.
  • Values with the same weight are returned in the order added.
• Rand
  • Values are picked randomly.
  • Weighting is used to increase the likelihood of a value being returned.

$pool = new \Phlib\HashStrategy\Consistent();
$pool->add('one');
$pool->add('two');
$pool->add('three');
var_dump($pool->get('hello', 2));

ConfigPool

Combines available hash strategies with a set of configs to provide a direct way to choose a config to use, for example choosing between a set of replicas.

$config = [
     'server1' => ['hostname' => 'localhost', 'port' => 11211],
     'server2' => ['hostname' => 'localhost', 'port' => 11212],
     'server3' => ['hostname' => 'localhost', 'port' => 11213],
];
$hashStrategy = new \Phlib\HashStrategy\Consistent();
$pool = new \Phlib\HashStrategy\ConfigPool($config, $hashStrategy);
var_dump($pool->getManyConfigs('some key', 2));
