VERSION

version 0.001

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

From Wikipedia

    Learners act as the replication factor for the protocol. Once a Client
    request has been agreed on by the Acceptors, the Learner may take action
    (i.e.: execute the request and send a response to the client). To improve
    availability of processing, additional Learners can be added.

METHODS

learn ( $id, $value )

This is the main interface between Acceptors and Leaners. When a value is choosen by the cluster, learn is passed the id and value and is recorded in stable storage. The default implementation stores everything in an in-memory HashRef.

proposal_ids ( ) : @ids

Returns a list of proposal ids.

proposal_count ( ) : $count

Returns the number of proposals to date.

latest_proposal ( ) : $value

Returns the value of the proposal with the greatest id.

Returns the value stored for $id.
