resque_redis_composite

This gems allows Resque to handle queues located on seperate Redis servers.

Currently working with Resque 1.23.x and 1.24.x I haven't looked into Resque 2 yet, but it might be possible to natively handle multiple Redis instances with the new Resque::Backend class.

Configure Resque in your application:

Resque.after_fork do |job|
  Resque::RedisComposite.reconnect_all(job)
end

config = {
  "default" => "localhost:6379",
  "some_other_queue" => "otherbox:6379"
}

Resque.redis = Resque::RedisComposite.create(config)

Alternatively, config can be one of :

• a single connection string, it will become the default connection:

  config = "localhost:6379"

• a hash with any combination of server values supported by Resque:

  • a Redis connection url : redis://...
  • a Redis client : Redis.new(:host => ..., :port => ...)
  • a Redis namespace : Redis::Namespace(..., :redis => ...)

Resque Stats will always be stored on the default Redis server.

• Keep an eye out for Resque 2.0 and evalute if this gems is still going to be useful
• Review specs
