Hi all, I'm using diesel to evaluate some architectural decisions we need to make. We wanted to simulate a long (say 1.5 secs long) query to an external system/process.
However, the nature of the call maybe synchronous. Since we aim to huge amounts of transactions we can't block diesel's main loop with this call. Is there a simple way to encapsulate a long-running function call into some sort of waiting schema. Something like the following would be nice:: result, to = yield (wait_for_call(lambda: long_running_func (with_arg)), sleep(2)) This would return the control to the main loop and suspend until either the function returns or time out is detected. However, I haven't figured out how ``wait_for_call`` could be implemented without using OS-level threads. Any ideas? Thanks and best regards, Manuel.
