NAME
Net::Bullfinch - Perl wrapper for talking with Bullfinch
VERSION
version 0.03
SYNOPSIS
use Net::Bullfinch;
my $client = Net::Bullfinch->new(host => '172.16.49.130');
my $req = { statement => 'some-query' };
my $items = $client->send(
request_queue => 'test-net-kestrel',
request => $req,
response_queue_suffix => 'foobar'
);
foreach my $item (@{ $items }) {
# whatever
}DESCRIPTION
Net::Bullfinch is a thin wrapper around <Net::Kestrel> for communicating with a Bullfinch.
This module handles JSON encoding of the request, the addition of a response queue, waiting for a response, confirmation of the message, decoding of the response and deletion of the response queue.
TRACING
Bullfinch supports adding a tracing a request so that performance metrics and responses can be tracked.
my $items = $client->send(
request_queue => 'test-net-kestrel',
request => $req,
response_queue_suffix => 'foobar'
trace => 1
);A UUID will be added to the request. This UUID will be included in the performance code in bullfinch workers and included in the response you receive.
ATTRIBUTES
host
The IP address of the host that we'll be connecting to.
port
The port of the IP address of the host we'll be connecting to.
response_prefix
The prefix used for the name of the response queue.
timeout
Set the timeout (in milliseconds) that will be used when awaiting a response back from Bullfinch.
METHODS
send( request_queue => $queue, request => \%data, response_queue_suffix => $response_name, process_by => $procby);
Send the request to the specified queue and await a response. The data should be a hashref and the queuename (optional) will be appended to response_prefix. This allows you to create a unique response queue per request.
# Response queue will be "response-net-kestrel-foobar"
my $items = $client->send(\%data, "foobar");Any messages sent in response (save the EOF message) are returned as an arrayref to the caller.
The optional process_by must be an ISO 8601 date.
