Installation

Dependencies

• Release 1.x.x requires PHP 5.4+ and allegro/protobuf PHP extension (instructions below)

Composer Install

Run the following composer command:

$ composer require "basho/riak-pb": "1.0.*"

Alternately, manually add the following to your composer.json, in the require section:

"require": {
    "basho/riak-pb": "1.0.*"
}

And then run composer update to ensure the module is installed and all dependencies retrieved.

Next, you need to run the following commands to install the needed extension for PB support.

cd vendor/allegro/protobuf
phpize
./configure
make
make install

Finally, you need to make sure the newly installed extension is being included with your PHP environment via the php.ini or a php configuration file (*.conf).

extension=protobuf.so

You can confirm that it is enabled for the command line environment with the following command.

php -m | grep protobuf
-- outputs: protobuf

Example Usage

Below is a short example of using the client. More substantial sample code is available in examples.

// lib classes are included via the Composer autoloader files
use Basho\Riak;
use Basho\Riak\Api\Pb;
use Basho\Riak\Node;
use Basho\Riak\Command;

// define the connection info to our Riak nodes
$nodes = (new Node\Builder)
    ->onPort(10018)
    ->buildCluster(['riak1.company.com', 'riak2.company.com', 'riak3.company.com',]);

// instantiate the Riak client
$riak = new Riak($nodes, [], new Pb());

// build a command to be executed against Riak
$command = (new Command\Builder\StoreObject($riak))
    ->buildObject('some_data')
    ->buildBucket('users')
    ->build();

// Receive a response object
$response = $command->execute($command);

// Retrieve the Location of our newly stored object from the Response object
$object_location = $response->getLocation();
