qb-relyq

relyq queue and push components for qb. It uses a simple and reliable work queue implemented with redis using simpleq.

Only works with qb v2.0+

Usage

npm install qb qb-relyq --save

var QB = require('qb').backend(require('qb-relyq'))
  , qb = new QB(qbOptions)
 
// To use relyq as a work queue:
qb.component(require('qb-relyq').queue, relyqOptions)
// OR to just push onto other service's relyqs:
qb.component(require('qb-relyq').push, relyqOptions)

Configuration

The relyqOptions above take the following options:

Push and Queue Component options

• createRedis A function () { return redisClient } that is REQUIRED.
• prefix The relyq redis keys will be prefixed by this (default: 'qb')
• delimeter The delimeter to connect the prefix, the string 'service' and the service type (default: ':')
• Q The relyq Queue Type. See relyq docs for details. (default: 'RedisJsonQ')
• allow_defer Allow deferred tasks (default: false)
• defer_field Field where the timestamp signifying a deferred task (default: 'when')
• allow_recur Allow recurring tasks (default: false)
• recur_field Field where the millisecond recurring interval is signifying a recurring task (default: 'every')

Queue Component options

• specific An optional object of service type to options. When instantiating a queue with qb-relyq, specific options for each queue can be detailed in here. For example: specific: { myservice: { prefix: 'myservice' } }, which will be used when qb.can('myservice', myserviceCallback)
• clean_finish Don't keep jobs around in the finished sub-queue. (default: true)
• max_concurrent_callbacks Limit on concurrent callbacks from this queue (default: 100)
• blocking_timeout Seconds of long-polling redis when waiting for new tasks. This will affect how long shutdown takes. (default: 5)
• defer_polling_interval Millisecond interval between deferred task checking (default: 1000)
• recur_polling_interval Millisecond interval between recurring task checking (default: 60000)

Notes

• Recurring tasks must include an ID so that they are not duplicated. The ID field defaults is 'id'.
