Lithium Queue Plugin

by Christopher Garvis & Olivier Louvignes, _(*1)

Description

This plugin provides a simple way to handle work queues, it currently supports:, _(*2)

• AMQP
• Beanstalk
• Gearman in the gearman branch

Installation

1. To enable the library add the following line at the end of app/config/bootstrap/libraries.php:, _(*3)

   Libraries::add('li3_queue');
   

2. Then configure your queues in app/config/bootstrap/queues.php:, _(*4)

   use li3_queue\storage\Queue;
   
   Queue::config(array('default' => array(
       'adapter' => 'Beanstalk',
       'host' => '127.0.0.1',
       'port' => 11300
   )));
   

3. Update app/config/bootstrap.php to include this new configuration file:, _(*5)

   /**
    * Include this file if your application uses one or more queues.
    */
   require __DIR__ . '/bootstrap/queues.php';
   

4. You can now use your configured queues in your application:, _(*6)

   use li3_queue\storage\Queue;
   

5. There is some known bugs with several PHP versions regarding the stream_get_line function that can incorrectly fail to return on \r\n EOL packets. Unfortunately this bug affects the 12.04 shipped PHP version (php5.3.10-1)., _(*7)

Settings

1. If autoConfirm is true messages will be automatically confirmed on the server and whenever you use Queue::read() or Queue::consume(). This means you will not need to use $message->confirm() and will be unable to requeue using $message->requeue().

AMQP interface

Configuration

Configuration for your queue will go in app/config/bootstrap/queues.php and can contain any of the following options:, _(*8)

1. Basic

Queue::config(array(
    'default' => array(
        'adapter' => 'AMQP',
        'host' => '127.0.0.1',
        'login' => 'guest',
        'password' => 'guest',
        'port' => 5672,
        'vhost' => '/',
        'exchange' => 'li3.default',
        'queue' => 'li3.default',
        'routingKey' => null,
        'autoConfirm' => false,
        'cacert' => null,
        'cert' => null,
        'key' => null,
        'verify' => true
    )
));

2. Publish/Subscribe

To configure the AMQP adapter to function as publish/subscribe, you can create multiple queue configs in the following way:, _(*9)

Queue::config(array(
    'publish' => array(
        'adapter' => 'AMQP',
        'exchangeType' => AMQP_EX_TYPE_FANOUT,
        'exchange' => 'li3.publish',
        'queue' => false,
    ),
    'subscribe.1' => array(
        'adapter' => 'AMQP',
        'exchangeType' => AMQP_EX_TYPE_FANOUT,
        'exchange' => 'li3.publish',
        'queue' => 'li3.subscribe.1'
    ),
    'subscribe.2' => array(
        'adapter' => 'AMQP',
        'exchangeType' => AMQP_EX_TYPE_FANOUT,
        'exchange' => 'li3.publish',
        'queue' => 'li3.subscribe.2'
    )
));

Additional notes:, _(*10)

1. routingKey when null will be set by default to the same value as queue, setting the routing key will only be needed in advanced configurations

Beanstalk interface

Configuration

Configuration for your queue will go in app/config/bootstrap/queues.php and can contain any of the following options:, _(*11)

Queue::config(array(
    'default' => array(
        'adapter' => 'Beanstalk',
        'host' => '127.0.0.1',
        'port' => 11300,
        'tube' => 'default',
        'autoConfirm' => false
    )
));

• Check source for additional configuration.

Usage

1. Write a message, _(*12)

   Queue::write('default', 'message');
   

2. Read a message, _(*13)

   $message = Queue::read('default');
   

3. Confirm or requeue a message, _(*14)

   Once you've read a message from the queue you will either need to confirm it's success using:, _(*15)

   $message->confirm();
   

   Or requeue your message using:, _(*16)

   $message->requeue();
   

4. Consume messages, _(*17)

   Queue::consume('default', function($message) {
       // Do something with message
       if($success) {
           // Confirm message
           $message->confirm();
       }
       // Requeue message
       $message->requeue();
   });
   

   Consuming messages is a blocking action which will retrieve the next available message and pass it off to the callback. Returning false in the callback will break out of the consume., _(*18)
