gearman-ruby

What is this?

This is a pure-Ruby library for the gearman distributed job system.

What needs to be done?

More testing, some code cleanup.

What's in this?

Right now, this library has both client and worker support for Ruby apps.

Getting Started

Client

A very simple client that submits a "sleep" job and waits for 100 seconds for results:

require 'rubygems'
require 'gearman'

servers = ['localhost:4730', 'localhost:4731']

client = Gearman::Client.new(servers)
taskset = Gearman::TaskSet.new(client)

task = Gearman::Task.new('sleep', 20)
task.on_complete {|d| puts d }

taskset.add_task(task)
taskset.wait(100)

Worker

A worker that will process jobs in the 'sleep' queue:

require 'rubygems'
require 'logger'
require 'gearman'

servers = ['localhost:4730']

w = Gearman::Worker.new(servers)
logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)

# Add a handler for a "sleep" function that takes a single argument, the
# number of seconds to sleep before reporting success.
w.add_ability("sleep") do |data,job|
 seconds = 10
 logger.info "Sleeping for #{seconds} seconds"
 (1..seconds.to_i).each do |i|
   sleep 1
   # Report our progress to the job server every second.
   job.report_status(i, seconds)
 end
 # Report success.
 true
end

loop { w.work }
