Abraxas is a end-to-end streaming Gearman client and worker library. (Server implementation coming soon.)
https://www.npmjs.org/package/abraxas Standout features: * Support for workers handling multiple jobs at the same time over a single connection. This is super useful if your jobs tend to be bound by external resources (eg databases). * Built streaming end-to-end from the start, due to being built on gearman-packet. * Most all APIs support natural callback, stream and promise style usage. * Support for the gearman admin commands to query server status. * Delayed background job execution built in, with recent versions of the C++ gearmand. Things I learned on this project: * Nothing in the protocol stops clients and workers from sharing the same connection. This was imposed by arbitrary library restrictions. * In fact, the plain text admin protocol can be included cleanly on the same connection as the binary protocol. * Nothing stops workers from handling multiple jobs at the same time, except, again, arbitrary library restrictions. * The protocol documentation on gearman.org is out of date when compared to the C++ gearmand implementation– notably, SUBMIT_JOB_EPOCH has been implemented. I've begun updating the protocol documentation here: https://github.com/iarna/gearman-packet/blob/master/PROTOCOL.md Because everything is a stream, you can do things like this: process.stdin.pipe(client.submitJob('toUpper')).pipe(process.stdout); Or as a promise: client.submitJob('toUpper', 'test string').then(function (result) { console.log("Upper:", result); }); Or as a callback: client.submitJob('toUpper', 'test string', function(error, result) { if (error) console.error(error); console.log("Upper:", result); }); Or mix and match: process.stdin.pipe(client.submitJob('toUpper')).then(function(result) { console.log("Upper:", result); }); -- Rebecca -- Job board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ New group rules: https://gist.github.com/othiym23/9886289#file-moderation-policy-md Old group rules: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
