View Source wpool_pool (worker_pool v6.2.0)

Top supervisor for a worker_pool.

This supervisor supervises wpool_process_sup (which is the worker's supervisor) together with auxiliary servers that help keep the whole pool running and in order.

The strategy of this supervisor must be one_for_all but the intensity and period may be changed from their defaults by the wpool:pool_sup_intensity() and wpool:pool_sup_intensity() options respectively.

Functions

Adds a callback module. The module must implement the wpool_process_callbacks behaviour.
Picks the worker with the smaller queue of messages.

Calls all workers in the pool in parallel

Casts a message to all the workers within the given pool.
Picks the first available worker and sends the call to it. The timeout provided includes the time it takes to get a worker and for it to process the call.
Casts a message to the first available worker. Since we can wait forever for a wpool:cast to be delivered but we don't want the caller to be blocked, this function just forwards the cast when it gets the worker
Use this function to get the Worker pool record in a custom worker.
Retrieves the list of worker registered names. This can be useful to manually inspect the workers or do custom work on them.
Picks a worker base on a hash result.
phash2(Term, Range)
returns hash = integer, 0 <= hash < Range so
1
must be added
Set next within the worker pool record. Useful when using a custom strategy function.
Picks the first available worker, if any
Picks the next worker in a round robin fashion
Picks a random worker
Removes a callback module.
Picks the first available worker and sends the request to it. The timeout provided considers only the time it takes to get a worker
Starts a supervisor with several wpool_processes as its children
Retrieves the pool stats for all pools
Retrieves a snapshot of the pool stats
Get values from the worker pool record. Useful when using a custom strategy function.

add_callback_module(Pool, Module)

View Source
-spec add_callback_module(wpool:name(), module()) -> ok | {error, term()}.
Adds a callback module. The module must implement the wpool_process_callbacks behaviour.
-spec best_worker(wpool:name()) -> atom().
Picks the worker with the smaller queue of messages.

broadcall(Name, Call, Timeout)

View Source
-spec broadcall(wpool:name(), term(), timeout()) -> {[Replies :: term()], [Errors :: term()]}.

Calls all workers in the pool in parallel

Waits for responses in parallel too, and it assumes that if any response times out, all of them did too and therefore exits with reason timeout like a regular gen_server does.
-spec broadcast(wpool:name(), term()) -> ok.
Casts a message to all the workers within the given pool.

View Source
-spec call_available_worker(wpool:name(), any(), timeout()) -> atom().
Picks the first available worker and sends the call to it. The timeout provided includes the time it takes to get a worker and for it to process the call.

Use this function to get the Worker pool record in a custom worker.
