Package pool implements a limited consumer goroutine or unlimited goroutine pool for easier goroutine handling and cancellation.
Features:
- Dead simple to use and makes no assumptions about how you will use it.
- Automatic recovery from consumer goroutines which returns an error to the results
Pool v2 advantages over Pool v1:
- Up to 300% faster due to lower contention ( BenchmarkSmallRun used to take 3 seconds, now 1 second )
- Cancels are much faster
- Easier to use, no longer need to know the # of Work Units to be processed.
- Pool can now be used as a long running/globally defined pool if desired ( v1 Pool was only good for one run )
- Supports single units of work as well as batching
- Pool can easily be reset after a Close() or Cancel() for reuse.
- Multiple Batches can be run and even cancelled on the same Pool.
- Supports individual Work Unit cancellation.
Pool v3 advantages over Pool v2:
- Objects are not interfaces allowing for less breaking changes going forward.
- Now there are 2 Pool types, both completely interchangeable, a limited worker pool and unlimited pool.
- Simpler usage of Work Units, instead of
<-work.Donenow can dowork.Wait()
Use go get.
go get gopkg.in/go-playground/pool.v3
Then import the pool package into your own code.
import "gopkg.in/go-playground/pool.v3"
- It is recommended that you cancel a pool or batch from the calling function and not inside of the Unit of Work, it will work fine, however because of the goroutine scheduler and context switching it may not cancel as soon as if called from outside.
- When Batching DO NOT FORGET TO CALL batch.QueueComplete(), if you do the Batch WILL deadlock
- It is your responsibility to call WorkUnit.IsCancelled() to check if it's cancelled after a blocking operation like waiting for a connection from a pool. (optional)
Please see http://godoc.org/gopkg.in/go-playground/pool.v3 for detailed usage docs.
both Limited Pool and Unlimited Pool have the same signatures and are completely interchangeable.
Per Unit Work
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
"gopkg.in/go-playground/pool.v3"
)
func main() {
p := pool.NewLimited(10)
defer p.Close()
user := p.Queue(getUser(13))
other := p.Queue(getOtherInfo(13))
user.Wait()
if err := user.Error(); err != nil {
// handle error
}
// do stuff with user
username := user.Value().(string)
fmt.Println(username)
other.Wait()
if err := other.Error(); err != nil {
// handle error
}
// do stuff with other
otherInfo := other.Value().(string)
fmt.Println(otherInfo)
}
func getUser(id int) pool.WorkFunc {
return func(wu pool.WorkUnit) (interface{}, error) {
// simulate waiting for something, like TCP connection to be established
// or connection from pool grabbed
time.Sleep(time.Second * 1)
if wu.IsCancelled() {
// return values not used
return nil, nil
}
// ready for processing...
return "Joeybloggs", nil
}
}
func getOtherInfo(id int) pool.WorkFunc {
return func(wu pool.WorkUnit) (interface{}, error) {
// simulate waiting for something, like TCP connection to be established
// or connection from pool grabbed
time.Sleep(time.Second * 1)
if wu.IsCancelled() {
// return values not used
return nil, nil
}
// ready for processing...
return "Other Info", nil
}
}Batch Work
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
"gopkg.in/go-playground/pool.v3"
)
func main() {
p := pool.NewLimited(10)
defer p.Close()
batch := p.Batch()
// for max speed Queue in another goroutine
// but it is not required, just can't start reading results
// until all items are Queued.
go func() {
for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
batch.Queue(sendEmail("email content"))
}
// DO NOT FORGET THIS OR GOROUTINES WILL DEADLOCK
// if calling Cancel() it calles QueueComplete() internally
batch.QueueComplete()
}()
for email := range batch.Results() {
if err := email.Error(); err != nil {
// handle error
// maybe call batch.Cancel()
}
// use return value
fmt.Println(email.Value().(bool))
}
}
func sendEmail(email string) pool.WorkFunc {
return func(wu pool.WorkUnit) (interface{}, error) {
// simulate waiting for something, like TCP connection to be established
// or connection from pool grabbed
time.Sleep(time.Second * 1)
if wu.IsCancelled() {
// return values not used
return nil, nil
}
// ready for processing...
return true, nil // everything ok, send nil, error if not
}
}Run on MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 using Go 1.6.2
run with 1, 2, 4,8 and 16 cpu to show it scales well...16 is double the # of logical cores on this machine.
NOTE: Cancellation times CAN vary depending how busy your system is and how the goroutine scheduler is but worse case I've seen is 1s to cancel instead of 0ns
