Asynchronous job processing

Ruby JRuby

Hello,

I’m currently looking for a way to spawn a long-running process in the
background with some hooks to get the progress for instance. In MRI this
can be done using backgrounDRb. How can I achievo such a thing in Jruby?

Regards,
Andres

I tried, but as with some older versions of backgrounDRb it uses ‘fork’
to
spawn another thread. I know this can be enabled in Jruby but this is
not
recommened. Any alternatives?

I’m pretty sure you can use backgrounDRb with jruby too. If I recall,
‘packet’ which is the reactor engine at the core of backgroundrb is
pure ruby. I am not aware of any C components in that lib so it may
“just work” with jruby. Give it a try and let us know.

Activemessaging with some JMS or Stomp enabled server, e.g. Apache
Active MQ

Haven’t tried it with jruby, but works great for long running
processes on MRI + Rails.

You may also try ruffus-scheduler if you want a pure thread-based
(native
threads in jruby!) alternative.

With rufus-scheduler I could start a job with schedule_in(1s), but is it
possible to use any hooks that will read the progress of the job?

As for JMS, I found the activemessaging plugin on code.google.com and
understand how I could start a job. But also here the question, is there
a way to read variables from a running job (eg. the progress)?

I’m quite happily using activemessaging and JMS (ActiveMQ)

It’s true, active messaging will work with JRuby - specific code added
to it
for that.
It even got some bit written about using it with JRuby, I think in Ola’s
book.

Anyway, if you give it a try and have problems figuring it out, mail the
list; the authors of the JRuby support for it will be listening.
