EventMachine::Bucketer

This is a generic EventMachine library for putting arbitrary objects into buckets and setting callbacks to be called when any bucket exceeds a specific threshold size. Although the Bucketer::InMemory is synchronous (it's just using a ruby hash) the interface is still what would be expected for an asynchronous API for consistency with other Bucketers that are actually asynchronous.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'em-bucketer'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install em-bucketer

Ordered Bucketer

The ordered bucketer adds items to buckets and gives them back in the same order in which they were put in.

Usage

require 'em-bucketer'
EM.run do
  bucketer = EM::Bucketer::Ordered::InMemory.new(:bucket_threshold_size => 5)

  bucketer.on_bucket_full do |bucket_id|
    p "yay bucket #{bucket_id} filled up!"

    bucketer.pop_all(bucket_id) do |items|
      EM.stop
      items.each do |item|
        p "got back #{item}"
      end
    end
  end

  bucketer.add_item("1", {:foo => :bar})
  bucketer.add_item("1", {:foo => :bar})
  bucketer.add_item("1", {:foo => :bar})
  bucketer.add_item("1", {:bar => :foo})
  bucketer.add_item("1", {:bar => :foo})
end

Unordered Bucketer

The unordered bucketer requires you to pass in an 'id' which is used to ensure that no duplicates occur. This bucketer type should be used if you want to not have two of the same item in a bucket at one time. This type of bucketer does not guarantee that you get back items in the same order that they went in.

Usage

require 'em-bucketer'
EM.run do
  bucketer = EM::Bucketer::InMemory.new(:bucket_threshold_size => 5)

  bucketer.on_bucket_full do |bucket_id|
    p "yay bucket #{bucket_id} filled up!"

    bucketer.get_and_empty_bucket(bucket_id) do |items|
      EM.stop
      items.each do |item|
        p "got back #{item}"
      end
    end
  end

  bucketer.add_item("1", "1", {:foo => :bar})
  bucketer.add_item("1", "2", {:foo => :bar})
  bucketer.add_item("1", "3", {:foo => :bar})
  bucketer.add_item("1", "4", {:bar => :foo})
  bucketer.add_item("1", "5", {:bar => :foo})
end

Redis Bucketer

This gem also supports a redis backed bucketer which uses the em-hiredis gem. This bucketer uses Marshal.dump to store objects in redis and thus there are limitations on what can be placed in a bucket. Specifically you cannot store procs in buckets using the redis bucketer.
