Async::Runner
Provides containers which implement parallelism for clients and servers.
Features
This gem is based on Async::Container and inherits all its features.
- Supports multi-process, multi-thread and hybrid containers.
- Automatic scalability based on physical hardware.
- Direct integration with systemd using $NOTIFY_SOCKET.
- Internal process readiness protocol for handling state changes.
- Automatic restart of failed processes.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'async-runner'
And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install async-runner
Usage
bundle exec async-runner --help
# async-runner [-h/--help] [-v/--version] <command>
# Scalable multi-thread multi-process container
#
# [-h/--help] Print out help information.
# [-v/--version] Print out the application version.
# <command> Only ["run", Async::Runner::Commands::Run].
#
# run [--verbose | --quiet] [-h/--help] [-v/--version] [--restart] [--forked | --threaded | --hybrid] [-n/--count <count>] [--forks <count>] [--threads <count>] [-j/--jobs <count>] [-f/--file <file>]
# [--verbose | --quiet] Verbosity of output for debugging.
# [-h/--help] Print out help information.
# [-v/--version] Print out the application version.
# [--restart] Restart containers if they fail
# [--forked | --threaded | --hybrid] Select a specific parallelism model. (default: forked)
# [-n/--count <count>] Number of instances to start. (default: 10)
# [--forks <count>] Number of forks (hybrid only).
# [--threads <count>] Number of threads (hybrid only).
# [-j/--jobs <count>] Maximum number of async, parallel jobs. (default: 1000)
# [-f/--file <file>] File to run in containers
Let's suppose you have the following script:
setup do
logger.info "Setup phase. Executed once..."
end
run do |job|
logger.info "Run"
10.times do |i|
job.async do
sleep 1
logger.info job, "Done #{i}"
end
end
logger.info "Done"
end
Run this script with the following command:
bundle exec async-runner --count 1 --jobs 2 -f script.rb
This command makes sure there are only 2 async jobs at a time. In other words it runs 2 jobs, waits 2 seconds and runs 2 more jobs.
You can limit the number of jobs with -j/--jobs
option.
