> The background timer can not set a interval time, and the callback function have to check the time by itself, it's not easy to use. Yes, as OpenResty doesn't provide a cancel_timer API, we have to do the "cancel" job in the callback. > if one timer cost too much time, other timers will be affected Not exactly. The `core.timer` use `timer.every` API, so each group of timers' fire time is not affected by the last timer group. And each timer in the same group is run in a separate thread. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
