// Package queue implements a specialized concurrent queue system for Gitea.
|
|
//
|
|
// Terminology:
|
|
//
|
|
// 1. Item:
|
|
// - An item can be a simple value, such as an integer, or a more complex structure that has multiple fields.
|
|
// Usually a item serves as a task or a message. Sets of items will be sent to a queue handler to be processed.
|
|
// - It's represented as a JSON-marshaled binary slice in the queue
|
|
//
|
|
// 2. Batch:
|
|
// - A collection of items that are grouped together for processing. Each worker receives a batch of items.
|
|
//
|
|
// 3. Worker:
|
|
// - Individual unit of execution designed to process items from the queue. It's a goroutine that calls the Handler.
|
|
// - Workers will get new items through a channel (WorkerPoolQueue is responsible for the distribution).
|
|
// - Workers operate in parallel. The default value of max workers is determined by the setting system.
|
|
//
|
|
// 4. Handler (represented by HandlerFuncT type):
|
|
// - It's the function responsible for processing items. Each active worker will call it.
|
|
// - If an item or some items are not psuccessfully rocessed, the handler could return them as "unhandled items".
|
|
// In such scenarios, the queue system ensures these unhandled items are returned to the base queue after a brief delay.
|
|
// This mechanism is particularly beneficial in cases where the processing entity (like a document indexer) is
|
|
// temporarily unavailable. It ensures that no item is skipped or lost due to transient failures in the processing
|
|
// mechanism.
|
|
//
|
|
// 5. Base queue:
|
|
// - Represents the underlying storage mechanism for the queue. There are several implementations:
|
|
// - Channel: Uses Go's native channel constructs to manage the queue, suitable for in-memory queuing.
|
|
// - LevelDB: Especially useful in persistent queues for single instances.
|
|
// - Redis: Suitable for clusters, where we may have multiple nodes.
|
|
// - Dummy: This is special, it's not a real queue, it's a immediate no-op queue, which is useful for tests.
|
|
// - They all have the same abstraction, the same interface, and they are tested by the same testing code.
|
|
//
|
|
// 6. WorkerPoolQueue:
|
|
// - It's responsible to glue all together, using the "base queue" to provide "worker pool" functionality. It creates
|
|
// new workers if needed and can flush the queue, running all the items synchronously till it finishes.
|
|
// - Its "Push" function doesn't block forever, it will return an error if the queue is full after the timeout.
|
|
//
|
|
// 7. Manager:
|
|
// - The purpose of it is to serve as a centralized manager for multiple WorkerPoolQueue instances. Whenever we want
|
|
// to create a new queue, flush, or get a specific queue, we could use it.
|
|
//
|
|
// A queue can be "simple" or "unique". A unique queue will try to avoid duplicate items.
|
|
// Unique queue's "Has" function can be used to check whether an item is already in the queue,
|
|
// although it's not 100% reliable due to the lack of proper transaction support.
|
|
// Simple queue's "Has" function always returns "has=false".
|
|
//
|
|
// A WorkerPoolQueue is a generic struct; this means it will work with any type but just for that type.
|
|
// If you want another kind of items to run, you would have to call the manager to create a new WorkerPoolQueue for you
|
|
// with a different handler that works with this new type of item. As an example of this:
|
|
//
|
|
// func Init() error {
|
|
// itemQueue = queue.CreateSimpleQueue(graceful.GetManager().ShutdownContext(), "queue-name", handler)
|
|
// ...
|
|
// }
|
|
// func handler(items ...*mypkg.QueueItem) []*mypkg.QueueItem { ... }
|
