# haraka-nosql

[![Build Status][ci-img]][ci-url]
[![Coverage Status][cov-img]][cov-url]

Store stuff in memory-backed objects, smartly.

## Usage

var NoSQL = require('haraka-nosql');
var nosql = new NoSQL('myindex', {
storage: 'redis', // or 'ram' or 'ssc'
expire: 10, // minutes
});

Exports the following functions:

## set

nosql.set('foo', 'bar', function (err, result) {
if (err) {
// error handling code
return;
}
// do fun stuff with result
});

You're confident it'll work out? Skip the callback, it's optional. For all of these methods.

nosql.set('foo', 'bar'); // going commando

## get

nosql.get('foo', function (err, result) {
if (err) { return; }
// result == 'bar' (because that's what we set it to)
});

## del

nosql.del('foo', function (err, result) {
if (err) { return; }
// result == 1 (# of objects keys deleted)
});

## incrby

nosql.incrby('my_counter', 1, function (err, result) {
if (err) { return; }
// result == 1 (it was undef, now it's initialized to 1)
});

nosql.incrby('my_counter', 2); // breezy!
// now my_counter == 3 (increment 1 with 2 and math!)

## reset

nosql.reset();

// all your keys are belong to /dev/null

# RAM? That ain't workin'

## Pros

* simple
* no dependencies

## Cons

* Data disappears when Haraka is restarted.
* Not shared across hosts
* With [cluster](https://nodejs.org/api/cluster.html), worker processes share no data. Therefore, each worker process has a partial (incomplete) view of the state data.

# Cluster RAM

* When running with cluster, `nosql` attempts to load [strong-store-cluster](http://apidocs.strongloop.com/strong-store-cluster/), which stores data in the master worker.

## Pros

* All Haraka processes share a single RAM backed data store.

## Cons

* There's no "reset" operation. Instead, keys expire after 10 minutes (edit
`config/nosql.ini [cluster]expire` to alter. This is great for features such
as concurrency or brute-force auth tracking.

# Redis

## Pros

* disk backed RAM storage
* same view across Harka master & worker processes
* persistence across Haraka & server reboots
* network service, can be shared by many hosts

## Enable Redis

sed -i.bak -e 's/; backend=redis/backend=redis/' /my/haraka/config/nosql.ini

### Redis isn't running on localhost!

$EDITOR config/nosql.ini

Edit the settings in the [redis] section.

### I need more Redis features

When Redis is configured, the redis connection is exported as `nosql.redis`. Use it like so:

var nosql = require('haraka-nosql');
var redis = nosql.redis;

redis.multi()
.hget('something')
.get('else')
.exec(function (err, res) {
});

Refer to the excellent [Redis command docs](http://redis.io/commands)

# Other

## What about key collisions?

Collisions are only possible within your namespace. Each caller of `nosql` automatically gets its own namespace. In RAM, each namespace is a JS object, rather like this:

{
karma: {
key: val,
key2: val2,
},
limit: {
key: val,
key2: val2,
}
}

In Strong Store Cluster, each caller gets its own collection.

In Redis, get|del|incrby operations are mapped to their hash equivalents (hget, hdel, hincrby).
