NAME

       KiokuDB::Set - Set::Object wrapper for KiokuDB with lazy loading.

VERSION

       version 0.57

SYNOPSIS

           use KiokuDB::Util qw(set);

           my $set = set(); # KiokuDB::Set::Transient

           $set->insert($object);

           warn $set->size;

           my $id = $dir->store( $set );

DESCRIPTION

       This role defines the API implemented by KiokuDB::Set::Transient, KiokuDB::Set::Deferred,
       and KiokuDB::Set::Loaded.

       These three classes are modeled after Set::Object, but have implementation details
       specific to KiokuDB.

   Transient Sets
       Transient sets are in memory, they are sets that have been constructed by the user for
       subsequent insertion into storage.

       When you create a new set, this is what you should use.

       KiokuDB::Util provides convenience functions ("set" in KiokuDB::Util and "weak_set" in
       KiokuDB::Util) to construct transient sets concisely.

   Deferred Sets
       When a set is loaded from the backend, it is deferred by default. This means that the
       objects inside the set are not yet loaded, and will be fetched only as needed.

       When set members are needed, the set is upgraded in place into a KiokuDB::Set::Loaded
       object.

   Loaded Sets
       This is the result of vivifying the members of a deferred set, and is similar to transient
       sets in implementation.
