NAME

MangoX::Queue - A MongoDB queue implementation using Mango

DESCRIPTION

MangoX::Queue is a MongoDB backed queue implementation using Mango to support blocking and non-blocking queues.

MangoX::Queue makes no attempt to handle the Mango connection, database or collection - pass in a collection to the constructor and MangoX::Queue will use it. The collection can be plain, capped or sharded.

For an introduction to MangoX::Queue, see MangoX::Queue::Tutorial.

SYNOPSIS

Non-blocking

Non-blocking mode requires a running Mojo::IOLoop.

my $queue = MangoX::Queue->new(collection => $mango_collection);

# To add a job
enqueue $queue 'test' => sub { my $id = shift; };

# To set options
enqueue $queue priority => 1, created => DateTime::Tiny->now, 'test' => sub { my $id = shift; };

# To watch for a specific job status
watch $queue $id, 'Complete' => sub {
    # Job status is 'Complete'
};

# To fetch a job
fetch $queue sub {
    my ($job) = @_;
    # ...
};

# To get a job by id
get $queue $id => sub { my $job = shift; };

# To requeue a job
requeue $queue $job => sub { my $id = shift; };

# To dequeue a job
dequeue $queue $id => sub { };

# To consume a queue
my $consumer = consume $queue sub {
    my ($job) = @_;
    # ...
};

# To stop consuming a queue
release $queue $consumer;

# To listen for errors
on $queue error => sub { my ($queue, $error) = @_; };

Blocking

my $queue = MangoX::Queue->new(collection => $mango_collection);

# To add a job
my $id = enqueue $queue 'test';

# To set options
my $id = enqueue $queue priority => 1, created => DateTime::Tiny->now, 'test';

# To watch for a specific job status
watch $queue $id;

# To fetch a job
my $job = fetch $queue;

# To get a job by id
my $job = get $queue $id;

# To requeue a job
my $id = requeue $queue $job;

# To dequeue a job
dequeue $queue $id;

# To consume a queue
while(my $job = consume $queue) {
    # ...
}

Other

my $queue = MangoX::Queue->new(collection => $mango_collection);

# To listen for events
on $queue enqueued => sub ( my ($queue, $job) = @_; };
on $queue dequeued => sub ( my ($queue, $job) = @_; };
on $queue consumed => sub { my ($queue, $job) = @_; };

# To register a plugin
plugin $queue 'MangoX::Queue::Plugin::Statsd';

ATTRIBUTES

MangoX::Queue implements the following attributes.

collection

my $collection = $queue->collection;
$queue->collection($mango->db('foo')->collection('bar'));

my $queue = MangoX::Queue->new(collection => $collection);

The Mango::Collection representing the MongoDB queue collection.

delay

my $delay = $queue->delay;
$queue->delay(MangoX::Queue::Delay->new);

The MangoX::Queue::Delay responsible for dynamically controlling the delay between queue queries.

concurrent_job_limit

my $concurrent_job_limit = $queue->concurrent_job_limit;
$queue->concurrent_job_limit(20);

The maximum number of concurrent jobs (jobs consumed from the queue and unfinished). Defaults to 10.

This only applies to jobs on the queue in non-blocking mode. MangoX::Queue has an internal counter that is incremented when a job has been consumed from the queue (in non-blocking mode). The job returned is a MangoX::Queue::Job instance and has a descructor method that is called to decrement the internal counter. See MangoX::Queue::Job for more details.

Set to -1 to disable queue concurrency limits. Use with caution, this could result in out of memory errors or an extremely slow event loop.

plugins

my $plugins = $queue->plugins;

Returns a hash containing the plugins registered with this queue.

retries

my $retries = $queue->retries;
$queue->retries(5);

The number of times a job will be picked up from the queue before it is marked as failed.

timeout

my $timeout = $queue->timeout;
$queue->timeout(10);

The time (in seconds) a job is allowed to stay in Retrieved state before it is released back into Pending state. Defaults to 60 seconds.

EVENTS

MangoX::Queue inherits from Mojo::EventEmitter and emits the following events.

Events are emitted only for actions on the current queue object, not the entire queue.

consumed

on $queue consumed => sub {
    my ($queue, $job) = @_;
    # ...
};

Emitted when an item is consumed (either via consume or fetch)

dequeued

on $queue dequeued => sub {
    my ($queue, $job) = @_;
    # ...
};

Emitted when an item is dequeued

enqueued

on $queue enqueued => sub {
    my ($queue, $job) = @_;
    # ...
};

Emitted when an item is enqueued

concurrent_job_limit_reached

on $queue enqueued => sub {
    my ($queue, $concurrent_job_limit) = @_;
    # ...
};

Emitted when a job is found but the </concurrent_job_limit> limit has been reached.

METHODS

MangoX::Queue implements the following methods.

consume

# In blocking mode
while(my $job = consume $queue) {
    # ...
}

# In non-blocking mode
consume $queue sub {
    my ($job) = @_;
    # ...
};

Waits for jobs to arrive on the queue, sleeping between queue checks using MangoX::Queue::Delay or Mojo::IOLoop.

Currently sets the status to 'Retrieved' before returning the job.

dequeue

my $job = fetch $queue;
dequeue $queue $job;

Dequeues a job. Currently removes it from the collection.

enqueue

my $id = enqueue $queue 'job name';
my $id = enqueue $queue [ 'some', 'data' ];
my $id = enqueue $queue +{ foo => 'bar' };

Add an item to the queue in blocking mode. The default priority is 1 and status is 'Pending'.

You can set queue options including priority, created and status.

my $id = enqueue $queue,  
    priority => 1,
    created => time,
    status => 'Pending',
    +{
        foo => 'bar'
    };

For non-blocking mode, pass in a coderef as the final argument.

my $id = enqueue $queue 'job_name' => sub {
    # ...
};

my $id = enqueue $queue priority => 1, +{
    foo => 'bar',
} => sub {
    # ...
};

Sets the status to 'Pending' by default.

fetch

# In blocking mode
my $job = fetch $queue;

# In non-blocking mode
fetch $queue sub {
    my ($job) = @_;
    # ...
};

Fetch a single job from the queue, returning undef if no jobs are available.

Currently sets job status to 'Retrieved'.

get

# In non-blocking mode
get $queue $id => sub {
    my ($job) = @_;
    # ...
};

# In blocking mode
my $job = get $queue $id;

Gets a job from the queue by ID. Doesn't change the job status.

You can also pass in a job instead of an ID.

$job = get $queue $job;

get_options

my $options = $queue->get_options;

Returns the Mango::Collection options hash used by find_and_modify to identify and update available queue items.

release

my $consumer = consume $queue sub {
    # ...
};
release $queue $consumer;

Releases a non-blocking consumer from watching a queue.

requeue

my $job = fetch $queue;
requeue $queue $job;

Requeues a job. Sets the job status to 'Pending'.

update

my $job = fetch $queue;
$job->{status} = 'Failed';
update $queue $job;

Updates a job in the queue.

watch

Wait for a job to enter a certain status.

# In blocking mode
my $id = enqueue $queue 'test';
watch $queue $id, 'Complete'; # blocks until job is complete

# In non-blocking mode
my $id = enqueue $queue 'test';
watch $queue $id, 'Complete' => sub {
    # ...
};

FUTURE JOBS

Jobs can be queued in advance by setting a delay_until attribute:

enqueue $queue delay_until => (time + 20), "job name";

ERRORS

Errors are reported by MangoX::Queue using callbacks and Mojo::EventEmitter

To listen for all errors on a queue, subscribe to the 'error' event:

$queue->on(error => sub {
    my ($queue, $job, $error) = @_;
    # ...
});

To check for errors against an individual update, enqueue or dequeue call, you can check for an error argument to the callback sub:

enqueue $queue +$job => sub {
    my ($job, $error) = @_;

    if($error) {
        # ...
    }
}
