e-threadpool

Threadpool

Threadpool is the "threadpool pattern" implemented in ruby. It's a compact but robust component.

Features

• Timeout jobs, it means the stuck threads will be recycled.
• Job based tasks, job is an object not a block, could be more flexible.
• MRI and JRuby are supported.

Example

require 'threadpool'

class TestJob < Job
  def run

  end
end

threadpool = Threadpool.new
100.times.each do
  # threadpool auto-executes the job after loaded
  threadpool.load(TestJob.new)
  # Sleep 10ms, prevent ouput too fast on console.
  sleep(0.01)
end

# shutdown will wait until all jobs are finished
