Talk to Siberite queue server from Ruby¶ ↑

Siberite-client is a library that allows you to talk to a Siberite queue server from ruby. As Siberite uses the memcache protocol, siberite-client is implemented as a wrapper around the memcached gem.

Installation¶ ↑

Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:

gem 'siberite-client'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install siberite-client

Basic Usage¶ ↑

Siberite::Client.new takes a list of servers and an options hash. See the rdoc for Memcached for an explanation of what the various options do.

require 'siberite'

queue = Siberite::Client.new('localhost:22133')
queue.set('a_queue', 'foo')
queue.set('a_queue', 'bar')
queue.set('a_queue', 'baz')

queue.get('a_queue') # => 'foo'

# opens a reliable read
queue.get_open('a_queue') # => 'bar'
queue.get_close('a_queue')

# acknowledges previously opened read and opens a new one)
queue.get_close_open('a_queue') # => 'baz'

# raw format, skip marshalling
queue.set('a_queue', [1,2,3].to_json, 0, raw: true)
queue.get('a_queue', raw: true) # => "[1,2,3]"

Client Proxies¶ ↑

siberite-client comes with a number of decorators that change the behavior of the raw client.

client = Siberite::Client.new('localhost:22133')
client.get('empty_queue') # => nil

# Blocking client
queue = Siberite::Client::Blocking.new(client)
queue.get('empty_queue') # does not return until it pulls something from the queue

# Namespaced client
queue = Siberite::Client::Namespace.new('foo', client)
queue.set('work', 1) # adds message to foo:work queue

# Partitioned client
client_1 = Siberite::Client.new('siberite01.example.com:22133')
client_2 = Siberite::Client.new('siberite02.example.com:22133')
default_client = Siberite::Client.new('siberite03.example.com:22133')

client = Siberite::Client::Partitioning.new(
    'queue1' => client_1,
    ['queue2', 'queue3'] => client_2,
    default: default_client
)

Configuration Management¶ ↑

Siberite::Config provides some tools for pulling queue config out of a YAML config file.

Siberite::Config.load 'path/to/siberite.yml'
Siberite::Config.environment = 'production' # defaults to development

queue = Siberite::Config.new_client

This tells siberite-client to look for path/to/siberite.yml, and pull the client configuration out of the ‘production’ key in that file. Sample config:

defaults: &defaults
  distribution: :random
  timeout: 2
  connect_timeout: 1

production:
  <<: *defaults
  servers:
    - siberite01.example.com:22133
    - siberite02.example.com:22133
    - siberite03.example.com:22133

development:
  <<: *defaults
  servers:
    - localhost:22133
  show_backtraces: true
