Nagi

Nagi is a Leaderboard system that helps you rank million user data.

Design

Introduction

In system, supporting two leaderboard ways, one is ranking by score DESC,the same score has the same rank; another is 'dense' that ranks by score DESC, entry id ASC, the same score has diffrent rank order by entry id ASC.

In leaderboard attribute 'adapter', has four values ('base', 'bucket', 'block', 'chunk'), they are four leaderboard algorithms, but the kernel algorithm is bucket sort algorithm.

Note

When you don't use base adapter to rank leaderboard, you shuld set cron to fresh the bucket table

Base MySQL SQL

When set leaderboard adapter to 'base', the system will use the MySQL SQL, realtime sort the entries. It suits for small data leaderboard that less 10k data.

Score Bucket

When set leaderboard adapter to 'bucket', it will summary user count by score to help rank your leaderboard.

Block Bucket

When set leaderboard adapter to 'block', it will summary user's conunt by a static scoce grap, like score block [0-100], [101-200]..., it can be used to rank the user score histgram is steady and smooth.

Chunk Bucket

When set leaderboard adapter to 'chunk', unlike block algorithm using a static score grap, but is dynamic score grap that makes sure user's count between a suitable range like (5000, 10000]

How to install

Firstly download or fetch it form github then run the command in shell:

cd nagi # the path to the project
python setup.py install

Note

Make sure you had installed MySQLdb before install the module

Compatibility

Built and tested under Python 2.7 (maybe supports Python 2.6)

Development

Fork or download it, then run:

cd nagi # the path to the project
python setup.py develop

Setup Database

create database in mysql:
then run the mysql schema.sql script in the project directoy schema:

mysql -u yourusername -p yourpassword yourdatabase < schema.sql

if your database has not been created yet, log into your mysql first using:

mysql -u yourusername -p yourpassword yourdatabase
mysql>CREATE DATABASE a_new_database_name
# = you can =
mysql> USE a_new_database_name
mysql> source schema.sql

then:

mysql -u yourusername -p yourpassword a_new_database_name < schema.sql

How to use

from nagi import db
from nagi.leaderboard import leaderboard
from nagi.thing import thing_setup

# setup db setting 
# pool_opt sets the db pool min connections and max connections
db.setup('host', 'usern', 'pass', 'database', pool_opt={'minconn': 3, 'maxconn': 10})

# setup thing_setup, initialize the thing_setup bind the data-mapper
thing_setup() 

# use the leaderboard api
lb = leaderboard(leaderboard_id=1) # find leaderboard by leaderboard_id
lb = leaderboard(name='name')  # load leaderboard by name
lb.rank_for_user(12) # rank a user by user id
lb.rank_for_users([12, 2]) # rank users by users

Ranking in the leaderboard

Ranking by limit and offset

lb.rank(limit=2, offset=10)
#=>[<Entry leaderboard_id:2, entry_id:11, score:29, data:{u'user': u'user_11'}, created:2014-08-17 12:49:01, ra
leaderboard_id:2, entry_id:12, score:29, data:{u'user': u'user_12'}, created:2014-08-17 12:49:01, rank:5]

When set the dense:

lb.rank(limit=2, offset=10, dense=True)
#=> [<Entry leaderboard_id:2, entry_id:11, score:29, data:{u'user': u'user_11'}, created:2014-08-17 12:49:01, rank:11>, <Entr
# y leaderboard_id:2, entry_id:12, score:29, data:{u'user': u'user_12'}, created:2014-08-17 12:49:01, rank:12>]

Ranking for user(s) -----------------

lb.rank_for_user(11)
#=> <Entry leaderboard_id:2, entry_id:11, score:29, data:{u'user': u'user_11'}, created:2014-08-17 12:49:01, rank:5>

lb.rank_for_user(11, True) # dense rank
#=><Entry leaderboard_id:2, entry_id:11, score:29, data:{u'user': u'user_11'}, created:2014-08-17 12:49:01, rank:11>

lb.rank_for_users([1,11])
#=> [<Entry leaderboard_id:2, entry_id:1, score:33, data:{u'user': u'user_1'}, created:2014-08-17 12:49:01, rank:1>, <Entry
# leaderboard_id:2, entry_id:11, score:29, data:{u'user': u'user_11'}, created:2014-08-17 12:49:01, rank:5>]

lb.rank_for_users([1,11], True) # dense rank
#=> [<Entry leaderboard_id:2, entry_id:1, score:33, data:{u'user': u'user_1'}, created:2014-08-17 12:49:01, rank:1>, <Entry
#leaderboard_id:2, entry_id:11, score:29, data:{u'user': u'user_11'}, created:2014-08-17 12:49:01, rank:11>]

Rank at position ---------------

lb.rank_at(3)
#=> [<Entry leaderboard_id:2, entry_id:2, score:32, data:{u'user': u'user_2'}, created:2014-08-17 12:49:01, rank:2>, <Entry
# leaderboard_id:2, entry_id:3, score:32, data:{u'user': u'user_3'}, created:2014-08-17 12:49:01, rank:2>, <Entry leaderbo
# ard_id:2, entry_id:4, score:32, data:{u'user': u'user_4'}, created:2014-08-17 12:49:01, rank:2>]

lb.rank_at(3, True) # dense rank
#=> [<Entry leaderboard_id:2, entry_id:3, score:32, data:{u'user': u'user_3'}, created:2014-08-17 12:49:01, rank:3>]

Around me

Retrieve ranks around a user:

lb.around_me(33)
#=> [<Entry leaderboard_id:2, entry_id:31, score:23, data:{u'user': u'user_31'}, created:2014-08-17 12:49:01, rank:11>, <Ent
# ry leaderboard_id:2, entry_id:32, score:22, data:{u'user': u'user_32'}, created:2014-08-17 12:49:01, rank:12>, <Entry le

# id:2, entry_id:35, score:21, data:{u'user': u'user_35'}, created:2014-08-17 12:49:01, rank:13>]

lb.around_me(33, dense=True)
#=> [<Entry leaderboard_id:2, entry_id:31, score:23, data:{u'user': u'user_31'}, created:2014-08-17 12:49:01, rank:31>, <Ent

# id:2, entry_id:35, score:21, data:{u'user': u'user_35'}, created:2014-08-17 12:49:01, rank:35>]

lb.around_me(33, bound=1)
#=> [<Entry leaderboard_id:2, entry_id:33, score:22, data:{u'user': u'user_33'}, created:2014-08-17 12:49:01, rank:12>, <Ent

Set Cron to fresh the leaderbaord

The cron is a distributed scheduler that freshs leaderboard:

# you shuoud setup database firstly, see setup database section
from nagi.cron import Cron
cron = Cron(limit=5) # set the threads count to work 
cron.add_job('cron_job', 'every 5')
cron.cancel_job('cron_job')
cron.run() # start the scheduler

Add job to cron

You just need to add a job once time, it will stroe in database for reuse, name is the name of leaderboard need fresh:

cron.add_job(name='cron_job', event='every 5')
cron.add_job(name='cron_job', event='at 201408310804')

Cancel a job

Delete a job from database by job name:

cron.cancel_job('cron_job')

Event

When you add job to scheduler, you see a event arugement. it is a specfic how to fresh leaderboard. Current event supports three types:

at

this event will only run once, in a future datetime, it should at least 1 minute speed from now: the pattern as below:

at %Y%m%d%H%M

every

this event will run in loop by minute(s), the pattern is a unsiged integer:

every minute(s)

cron

this event pattern is pattern of crontab, current supports:

field          allowed values
-----          --------------
minute         0-59
hour           0-23
day of month   1-31
month          1-12 
day of week    0-7

and the every sub pattern only support below regex expression format:

^(\d+-\d+/\d+)|(\d+-\d+)|(\d+)$

API

Model

Leaderboard

Leaderboard has three attributes:

name

an unique name for human beings

leaderboard_id

an identifier generate by mysql

adapter

the name of leaboarderd adapter, see the Desgin session

Entry

leaderboard_id

the leaboarderd id means what leaderboard the current entry beings

entry_id

An unique identifier in one leaderboard, you can set user id as entry id

score

the user's score

data

a custom json data, like '{"name": "Natume"}'

created

the entry creation datetime

rank

only set in LeaderBoard when rank

Thing

The Project Architecture is data mapper pattern. The most important parts are Thing and Model, Thing (Mapper) is Data Access Layer that performs bidirectional transfer of data between a persistent data store.

Thing is used to store the model to database, current supports "entry", "job", "leadebaord":

backed = Thing('entry')
backed.save(Entry(...))

Entry Thing

find

load by leaderboard_id and eid

find_by_score

find entry by score from leaderboard

find_by_entry_ids

find entries by user ids

save

save entry to database, if duplicete, will update the entry

delete

delete the entry from database

total

the leaderboard entries total count

Leaderboard Thing

find

load leaderboard from database by leaderboard id

find_by_name

load job from database by name

save

if leaderboard_id is None, create a new in database, else update

delete

delele leaderboard from database by Leaderboard(leaderboard_id)
