GlorpenQueueBundle

Bundle for offloading work to server side. Can add service tasks/jobs to queue for later execution.

Queue runs can safely overlap since tasks are locked upon acquiring by runner.

For forking and other funnies:

• https://bitbucket.org/glorpen/glorpenqueuebundle
• https://github.com/glorpen/GlorpenQueueBundle

Installation

• add requirements to composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "glorpen/queue-bundle": "*"
    }
}

• enable the bundle in your AppKernel class

app/AppKernel.php

<?php

class AppKernel extends AppKernel
{
   public function registerBundles()
   {
       $bundles = array(
           ...
           new Glorpen\QueueBundle\GlorpenQueueBundle(),
           ...
       );
   }
}

• choose backend in config.yml

Backends

Propel

Bundle configuration:

glorpen_queue:
    backend: propel

Usage

To add new task:

<?php
$queue = $container->get("glorpen.queue");
$queue->create('my.tasks_container', 'myMethod', array("arg1", 2));

Then to execute use app/console queue:run:

Starting task test:method
Task 1:test:method ended after 0 seconds with status "failed"

Remember that:

• dataset is fetched on task execution, so it can change after you create task.
• task arguments are serialized and stored in choosen backend

Other useful commands:

• queue:restart-failed simply marks failed tasks as pending
• queue:update marks crashed (eg. on OOM) tasks as failed and removes succesfull tasks

Named tasks

To add new named task:

<?php
$queue = $container->get("glorpen.queue");
$queue->create('my.tasks_container', 'myMethod', array("arg1", 2), 'now', 'my_named_task');

Then you can retrieve it with:

<?php
$queue = $container->get("glorpen.queue");
$task = $queue->getTask('my_named_task');
echo $task->getStatus();
echo $task->getProgress();

When creating named task:

• completed or not started task with same name will be removed
• if old task is currently running an exception will be thrown

Metadata

Inside executing task you can set its current progress:

<?php
$queue = $container->get("glorpen.queue");
$queue->setCurrentTaskProgress(50);
