Legion

Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" And he said, "My name is Legion, for we are many." ── Gospel of Mark chapter 5, verse 9

Usage

Worker

(defparameter *worker*
  (make-worker
    (lambda (job)
      (format t "Processed: ~S~%" job))))

(start *worker*)

(add-job *worker* 10)
(add-job *worker* "Hi")

(stop *worker*)

Cluster

(defparameter *cluster*
  (make-cluster 4
    (lambda (job)
      (format t "Processed: ~S~%" job))))

(start *cluster*)

(add-job *cluster* 10)
(add-job *cluster* "Hi")

(stop *cluster*)

NOTE: Cluster doesn't guarantee the order of processing jobs.

Functions

[Class] worker

Base class of workers.

You can specify the value by specifying :queue.

[Function] (worker-status worker)

Return the worker's status which is specifically one of :running, :idle, :shutting and :shutdown.

[Function] (worker-queue-count worker)

Return the number of outstanding jobs of the worker.

[Method] (start worker-or-cluster)

Start the given worker or cluster to process jobs.

[Method] (stop worker-or-cluster)

Stop the given worker or cluster after processing its queued jobs.

[Method] (kill worker-or-cluster)

Stop the given worker or cluster immediately (outstanding jobs will be remained in its queue).

[Method] (add-job worker-or-cluster val)

Enqueue a new job val which will be passed to a function specified for make-worker.

[Method] (fetch-job worker) => val, existsp

Dequeue a job from worker's queue.

[Class] cluster

Base class of clusters.

[Function] (cluster-status cluster)

Return the cluster's status which is one of :running, :shutting and :shutdown.

[Function] (start-cluster cluster)

Start workers of cluster.

[Function] (cluster-workers cluster) => workers-array
