Add a new table in runtime execution to mnesia schema and replicate to other nodes. Return true or false.

If table already was created in runtime, keep the actual table and return true. If table has same name from a table created in initialization, the operation will fail and will return false. You should keep control about the already created tables.

Should be in a same format as when define tables for initialization:

%{
  table_name: :my_table_name, 
  table_attributes: [:attr_1, :attr_2, ...  :attr_N] 
}

Requires mnesia already be started.

Removes all object entries from "table_name". Return true or false.

Requires mnesia already be started.

If you wish you application be able to scalabity then should be used

init_cluster(cluster_name,cluster_ips,ips_separator,disc_copies,tables)

function on application startup.

Executes a "count" operation against a "table_name".

Requires mnesia already be started.

Delete a row identified by "id_row" in a table "table_name". Return true or false.

Requires mnesia already be started.

Almost the same that "init_cluster". The diference is that cluster_ips will be calculated to be all range of machine local network according the network mask range (/16 or /24).

Start the distributed mnesia cluster. To be used on application start.

Example

defmodule <Your_App_Main_Module_Name>.Application do

  @moduledoc false

  use Application

  alias Krug.DistributedMnesia


  def start(_type, _args) do
    Supervisor.start_link(children(), opts())
  end

  defp children() do
      [
        ...
        <Your_App_Main_Module_Name>.DistributedMnesiaTaskStarter, # calls Krug.DistributedMnesia.init_cluster(...)
        ...
      ]
  end

  defp opts() do 
      [strategy: :one_for_one, name: <Your_App_Main_Module_Name>.Supervisor]
  end 
  
end

defmodule <Your_App_Main_Module_Name>.DistributedMnesiaConfigTaskStarter do
  def child_spec(opts) do
    %{id: __MODULE__,start: {__MODULE__, :start_link, [opts]}}
  end

  def start_link(opts) do
    Supervisor.start_link([{<Your_App_Main_Module_Name>.DistributedMnesiaConfigTask,opts}], strategy: :one_for_one)
  end
end

defmodule <Your_App_Main_Module_Name>.DistributedMnesiaConfigTask do

  use Task
  alias Krug.DistributedMnesia

  def start_link(opts) do
    Task.start_link(__MODULE__, :run, [opts])
  end

  def run(_opts) do
    cluster_cookie = "echo"
    cluster_name = "echo"
    cluster_ips = "192.168.1.12X "
    ips_separator = "X" 
    tables = [
      %{
         table_name: :users, 
         table_attributes: [:id, :name, :email, :last_access] 
      },
      %{
         table_name: log, 
         table_attributes: [:id, :user_id, :action, :date_time] 
      },
    ]  
  
    cluster_name
      |> DistributedMnesia.init_cluster(cluster_cookie,cluster_ips,ips_separator,true,tables)
  end

end

disc_copies: true for ":disc_copies" (ram + disc), false for ":ram_copies" (only ram).

tables: list of map table configurations

%{
  table_name: :users, # atom
  table_attributes: [:id, :name, :email] # atom list | the first element is the "id_row" value/column
}

.

connected_nodes: list (of atom) nodes already connected in a erlang cluster.

Keep the "amount_to_keep" entries from "table_name" table. All other entries will be removed/deleted. Return true or false.

Usefull for caching control (limit memory usage and others). With this you could limit each table to keep only the X last recent used (stored/loaded) entries, optimizing the memory usage and getting better caching performance - keeping in cache only the entries that are more often requested.

Requires mnesia already be started.

Retrieves an object identified by "id_row" from "table_name". Return the registry entry or nil.

Requires mnesia already be started.

If you wish you application be able to scalabity then should be used

init_cluster(cluster_name,cluster_ips,ips_separator,disc_copies,tables)

function on application startup.

Get the first element in a table "table_name". Return the stored value or nil.

Requires mnesia already be started.

Get the last element in a table "table_name". Return the stored value or nil.

Requires mnesia already be started.

Executes a "select" operation against a "table_name" filtering by "array_params"

Requires mnesia already be started.

Set last updated time of an entry on "table_name". Stores this data on metadata control table. Return true or false.

Used by internal controls, and also exposes a way to other modules change this values (for example if you are caching something and needs to delete the oldest used objects - setting new value for updated_at each time that the object is used "loaded").

Stores an object "data_row" identified by "id_row" on "table_name". Return true or false.

Requires mnesia already be started.

If you wish you application be able to scalabity then should be used

init_cluster(cluster_name,cluster_ips,ips_separator,disc_copies,tables)

function on application startup.
