NAME

Mojo::Redis::Processor - Encapsulates the process for a Mojo app to send an expensive job to a daemon using Redis underneath and Redis SET NX and Redis Pub/Sub.

DESCRIPTION

This module is specialized to help a Mojo app to send an expensive job request to be processed in parallel in a separete daemon. Communication is handled through Redis.

This is specialized for processing tasks that can be common between different running Mojo children. Race condition between children to add a new tasks is handle by Redis SET NX capability.

Example

Mojo app which wants to send data and get stream of processed results will look like:

    use Mojo::Redis::Processor;
    use Mojolicious::Lite;

    my $rp = Mojo::Redis::Processor->new({
        data       => 'Data',
        trigger    => 'R_25',
    });

    $rp->send();
    my $redis_channel = $rp->on_processed(
        sub {
            my ($message, $channel) = @_;
            print "Got a new result [$message]\n";
        });

    app->start;

Try it like:

    $ perl -Ilib ws.pl daemon

Processor daemon code will look like:

    use Mojo::Redis::Processor;
    use Parallel::ForkManager;

    use constant MAX_WORKERS  => 1;

    $pm = new Parallel::ForkManager(MAX_WORKERS);

    while (1) {
        my $pid = $pm->start and next;

        my $rp = Mojo::Redis::Processor->new;

        $next = $rp->next();
        if ($next) {
            print "next job started [$next].\n";

            $redis_channel = $rp->on_trigger(
                sub {
                    my $payload = shift;
                    print "processing payload\n";
                    return rand(100);
                });
            print "Job done, exiting the child!\n";
        } else {
            print "no job found\n";
            sleep 1;
        }
        $pm->finish;
    }

Try it like:

    $ perl -Ilib daemon.pl

Daemon needs to pick a forking method and also handle ide processes and timeouts.

METHODS

new(%Options)

This will instantiate the object for both reqeust sender and processor. Type depends on options which are passed.

data

Data for processing that we pass to the $pricer code.

trigger

Trigger will be a redis channel that will trigger call of pricer code.

data

Data for processing that we pass to the $pricer code.

redis_read, redis_write

Redis URL for read and write. Write means there is a central and replicated redis. redis_write will default to redis_read if it is not passed.

read_conn, write_conn, daemon_conn

Setting redis connections directly. daemon_conn is used to wait for trigger.

prefix

Key prefix that is used in redis. If it is not set it will default to "Redis::Processor::".

expire

Expire time that client will set after receiving new price from price processor. Price process will continue to price as long as someone is extending this expiry.

usleep

Sleep time if there was no job available.

retry

Retry time to wait for new job become available. If no job become available next() will return empty.

This will new the thing.

send()

Will send the Mojo app data processing request. This is mainly a queueing job. Job will expire if no worker take it in time. If more than one app try to register the same job Redis SET NX will only assign one of them to proceed.

on_processed($code)

Mojo app will call this to register a code reference that will be triggered everytime there is a result. Results will be triggered and published based on trigger option.

next()

Daemon will call this to start the next job. If it return empty it meam there was no job found after "retry".

on_trigger()

Daemon will call this to register a processor code reference that will be called everytime trigger happens. The return value will be passed to Mojo apps which requested it using Redis Pub/Sub system. on_trigger will exit the loop when there is no more subscriber to the channel.
