SYNOPSIS

        # new() in the inheriting sub class.

        sub new {
                my ($class, $params) = @_;
                my $self = IO::Iron::ClientBase->new();
                # Add more keys to the self hash.
                my @self_keys = ( ## no critic (CodeLayout::ProhibitQuotedWordLists)
                                'caches',        # References to all objects created of class IO::Iron::IronCache::Cache.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Cool idea, "message queue in the cloud": http://www.iron.io/. And well implemented.

TODO

  • The IronMQ client needs to control the queues, perhaps using semafores.

  • A buffer mechanism to keep the messages while the IronMQ REST service is unavailable. IO::Iron::IronMQ::ASyncPush?

  • Push queues.

  • Mock IronMQ for testing.

  • Rethink the using of REST:Client. Since message queues often involve a lot of traffic but always to the same address, REST:Client might not be the best solution.

  • Handle message size issues: max 64KB; Includes the entire request (delay, timeout, expiration).

  • Handle message delay, timeout and expiration min-max values.

    Message Var Default Maximum Notes Message Size -- 64KB Includes the entire request (delay, timeout, expiration). Delay 0sec 604,800sec Message is made available on queue after the delay expires. Timeout 60sec 86,400sec Message goes back on queue after timeout unless deleted. Expiration 604,800sec 2,592,000sec Equates to 7 days and 30 days, respectively. Messages per Get 1 100 One or more messages can be handled at a time.

  • Better logging, consistent log and error messages.

  • Option to delete queue when IO::Iron::IronMQ::Queue object goes to garbage collection.

  • Implement IO::Iron::IronWorker.

  • Verify the client is connected when created by calling queues!

  • Start using =encoding utf8 and move compatibility from 5.8 to 5.10.
