Minion::Worker - Minion worker

  use Minion::Worker;
  my $worker = Minion::Worker->new(minion => $minion);

Minion::Worker performs jobs for Minion.

The Minion::Worker process can be controlled at runtime with the following signals.

INT, TERM

Stop gracefully after finishing the current jobs.

QUIT

Stop immediately without finishing the current jobs.

The job processes spawned by the Minion::Worker process can be controlled at runtime with the following signals.

INT, TERM

This signal starts out with the operating system default and allows for jobs to install a custom signal handler to stop gracefully.

USR1, USR2

These signals start out being ignored and allow for jobs to install custom signal handlers.

Minion::Worker inherits all events from Mojo::EventEmitter and can emit the following new ones.

  $worker->on(busy => sub ($worker) {
    ...
  });

Emitted in the worker process when it is performing the maximum number of jobs in parallel.

  $worker->on(busy => sub ($worker) {
    my $max = $worker->status->{jobs};
    say "Performing $max jobs.";
  });

  $worker->on(dequeue => sub ($worker, $job) {
    ...
  });

Emitted in the worker process after a job has been dequeued.

  $worker->on(dequeue => sub ($worker, $job) {
    my $id = $job->id;
    say "Job $id has been dequeued.";
  });

  $worker->on(wait => sub ($worker) {
    ...
  });

Emitted in the worker process before it tries to dequeue a job.

  $worker->on(wait => sub ($worker) {
    my $max = $worker->status->{dequeue_timeout};
    say "Waiting up to $max seconds for a new job.";
  });

Minion::Worker implements the following attributes.

  my $commands = $worker->commands;
  $worker      = $worker->commands({jobs => sub {...}});

Registered worker remote control commands.

  my $id  = $worker->id;
  $worker = $worker->id($id);

Worker id.

  my $minion = $worker->minion;
  $worker    = $worker->minion(Minion->new);

Minion object this worker belongs to.

  my $status = $worker->status;
  $worker    = $worker->status({queues => ['default', 'important']);

Status information to configure workers started with "run" and to share every time "register" is called.

Minion::Worker inherits all methods from Mojo::EventEmitter and implements the following new ones.

  $worker = $worker->add_command(jobs => sub {...});

Register a worker remote control command.

  $worker->add_command(foo => sub ($worker, @args) {
    ...
  });

  my $job = $worker->dequeue(0.5);
  my $job = $worker->dequeue(0.5 => {queues => ['important']});

Wait a given amount of time in seconds for a job, dequeue Minion::Job object and transition from "inactive" to "active" state, or return "undef" if queues were empty.

These options are currently available:

  id => '10023'
    

Dequeue a specific job.

  min_priority => 3
    

Do not dequeue jobs with a lower priority.

  queues => ['important']
    

One or more queues to dequeue jobs from, defaults to "default".

  my $info = $worker->info;

Get worker information.

  # Check worker host
  my $host = $worker->info->{host};

These fields are currently available:

  host => 'localhost'
    

Worker host.

  jobs => ['10023', '10024', '10025', '10029']
    

Ids of jobs the worker is currently processing.

  notified => 784111777
    

Epoch time worker sent the last heartbeat.

  pid => 12345
    

Process id of worker.

  started => 784111777
    

Epoch time worker was started.

  status => {queues => ['default', 'important']}
    

Hash reference with whatever status information the worker would like to share.

  my $worker = Minion::Worker->new;
  my $worker = Minion::Worker->new(status => {foo => 'bar'});
  my $worker = Minion::Worker->new({status => {foo => 'bar'}});

Construct a new Minion::Worker object and subscribe to "busy" event with default handler that sleeps for one second.

  $worker = $worker->process_commands;

Process worker remote control commands.

  $worker = $worker->register;

Register worker or send heartbeat to show that this worker is still alive.

  $worker->run;

Run worker and wait for "WORKER SIGNALS".

These "status" options are currently available:

  command_interval => 20
    

Worker remote control command interval, defaults to 10.

  dequeue_timeout => 5
    

Maximum amount time in seconds to wait for a job, defaults to 5.

  heartbeat_interval => 60
    

Heartbeat interval, defaults to 300.

  jobs => 12
    

Maximum number of jobs to perform parallel in forked worker processes (not including spare processes), defaults to 4.

  queues => ['test']
    

One or more queues to get jobs from, defaults to "default".

  repair_interval => 3600
    

Repair interval, up to half of this value can be subtracted randomly to make sure not all workers repair at the same time, defaults to 21600 (6 hours).

  spare => 2
    

Number of spare worker processes to reserve for high priority jobs, defaults to 1.

  spare_min_priority => 7
    

Minimum priority of jobs to use spare worker processes for, defaults to 1.

These remote control "commands" are currently available:

  $minion->broadcast('jobs', [10]);
  $minion->broadcast('jobs', [10], [$worker_id]);
    

Instruct one or more workers to change the number of jobs to perform concurrently. Setting this value to 0 will effectively pause the worker. That means all current jobs will be finished, but no new ones accepted, until the number is increased again.

  $minion->broadcast('kill', ['INT', 10025]);
  $minion->broadcast('kill', ['INT', 10025], [$worker_id]);
    

Instruct one or more workers to send a signal to a job that is currently being performed. This command will be ignored by workers that do not have a job matching the id. That means it is safe to broadcast this command to all workers.

  $minion->broadcast('stop', [10025]);
  $minion->broadcast('stop', [10025], [$worker_id]);
    

Instruct one or more workers to stop a job that is currently being performed immediately. This command will be ignored by workers that do not have a job matching the id. That means it is safe to broadcast this command to all workers.

  $worker = $worker->unregister;

Unregister worker.
