Introduction

Easily manages a resizeable pool of context aware goroutines to bound concurrency, A Job is Enqueued to the pool and only N jobs can be processing concurrently at the same time.

  • A Job is simply a func(){}, when you Enqueue(..) a job, the enqueue call will return ONCE the job has started processing. Otherwise if the pool is full it will block until:

    1. pool has room for the job.
    2. job's context is canceled.
    3. the pool is stopped.
  • The Pool can be re-sized using Resize() that will resize the pool in a concurrent safe-way. Resize can enlarge the pool and any blocked enqueue will unblock after pool is resized, in case of shrinking the pool resize will not affect any already processing/waiting jobs.

  • Enqueuing a Job will return error nil once a job starts, ErrPoolClosed if the pool is closed, or the context's error if the job's context is canceled while blocking waiting for the pool.

  • Stopping the Pool using pool.Stop() will wait for all processing jobs to finish before returning, it will also unblock any blocked job enqueues (enqueues will return ErrPoolClosed).

  • Start, Stop, and Resize(N) are all concurrent safe and can be called from multiple goroutines, subsequent calls of Start or Stop has no effect unless called interchangeably.

Usage

  • Create new pool

    pool, err := gpool.NewPool(concurrency)
    
  • Enqueue a job

        job := func() {
            time.Sleep(2000 * time.Millisecond)
            fmt.Println("did some work")
        }
    
        // Enqueue Job
        err := pool.Enqueue(ctx, job)
    

    A call to pool.Enqueue() will return nil if job started processing, blocks if the pool is full, ctx.Err() if context was canceled while waiting/blocking, or finally ErrPoolClosed if the pool stopped or was never started.

  • Resize the pool

    err = pool.Resize(size)
    

    Will live change the size of the pool, If new size is larger, waiting job enqueues from another goroutines will be unblocked to fit the new size, and if new size is smaller, any new enqueues will block until the current size of the pool is less than the new one.

  • Stop the pool

    pool.Stop()
    
    • ALL Blocked/Waiting jobs will return immediately.

    • Stop() WILL Block until all running jobs is done.

  • Different types of "Enqueues"

    • Enqueue(ctx, job) returns ONCE the job has started executing (not after job finishes/return)

    • EnqueueAndWait(ctx, job) returns ONCE the job has started and finished executing.

    • TryEnqueue(job) will not block if the pool is full, returns true ONCE the job has started executing and false if pool is full.

    • TryEnqueueAndWait(job) will not block if the pool is full, returns true ONCE the job has started and finished executing. and false if pool is full.

Examples

Example 1 - Simple Job Enqueue

func main() {
    concurrency := 2

    // Create and start pool.
    pool, _ := gpool.NewPool(concurrency)
    defer pool.Stop()

    // Create JOB
    resultChan1 := make(chan int)
    ctx := context.Background()
    job := func() {
        time.Sleep(2000 * time.Millisecond)
        resultChan1 <- 1337
    }

    // Enqueue Job
    err1 := pool.Enqueue(ctx, job)
    if err1 != nil {
        log.Printf("Job was not enqueued. Error: [%s]", err1.Error())
        return
    }

    log.Printf("Job Enqueued and started processing")
    log.Printf("Job Done, Received: %v", <-resultChan1)
}

Example 2 - Enqueue A Job with Timeout


func main() {
  concurrency := 2

  // Create and start pool.
  pool, _ := gpool.NewPool(concurrency)
  defer pool.Stop()

  // Create JOB
  resultChan := make(chan int)
  ctx := context.Background()
  job := func() {
    resultChan <- 1337
  }

  // Enqueue 2 Jobs to fill pool (Will not finish unless we pull result from resultChan)
  _ = pool.Enqueue(ctx, job)
  _ = pool.Enqueue(ctx, job)


  ctxWithTimeout, _ := context.WithTimeout(ctx, 1000 * time.Millisecond)

  // Will block for 1 second only because of Timeout
  err1 := pool.Enqueue(ctxWithTimeout, job)

  if err1 != nil {
    log.Printf("Job was not enqueued. Error: [%s]", err1.Error())
  }

  log.Printf("Job 1 Done, Received: %v", <-resultChan)
  log.Printf("Job 2 Done, Received: %v", <-resultChan)
}

Example 3

// size Workers / Concurrent jobs of the Pool
const concurrency = 2

func main() {
  pool, _ := gpool.NewPool(concurrency)
  defer pool.Stop()

  ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
  defer cancel()

  go func() {
    for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {

      // Small Interval for more readable output
      time.Sleep(500 * time.Millisecond)

      go func(i int) {
        x := make(chan int, 1)

        log.Printf("Job [%v] Enqueueing", i)

        err := pool.Enqueue(ctx, func() {
          time.Sleep(2000 * time.Millisecond)
          x <- i
        })

        if err != nil {
          log.Printf("Job [%v] was not enqueued. [%s]", i, err.Error())
          return
        }

        log.Printf("Job [%v] Enqueue-ed ", i)

        log.Printf("Job [%v] Receieved, Result: [%v]", i, <-x)
      }(i)
    }
  }()

  // Uncomment to demonstrate ctx cancel of jobs.
  //time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond)
  //cancel()

  time.Sleep(5000 * time.Millisecond)

  fmt.Println("Stopping...")

  pool.Stop()

  fmt.Println("Stopped")

  fmt.Println("Sleeping for couple of seconds so canceled job have a chance to print out their status")

  time.Sleep(4000 * time.Millisecond)
}
