Overview

Package for async task processing.

Core types in this package are: AsyncPool, Future, AwaitFutures.

AsyncPool internally maintain a pool of goroutines. Use NewAsyncPool create a new AsyncPool, customize the pool with options like WithTaskQueue, FallbackCallerRun, FallbackDropTask and FallbackNewGoroutine.

Use CalcPoolSize to estimate optimal worker count in the pool.

Future represents the result of an async task, similar to Future in Java and Promise in Javascript.

Use [AsyncPool.Run], Submit or Run to create an async task, and obtain task result through the returned Future, e.g., [Future.Get] and [Future.TimedGet].

For cases where you need to await for a group of Futures, use NewAwaitFutures. AwaitFutures represent a group of tasks that are triggered at the same time and awaited together.

See BatchTask if you need to manage a group of task generator and consumers without using a goroutine pool.

See SignalOnce for one-time signal based communication.

async package also provides various convenience funcs to run async task until certain condition match, or help you capture potential panic in async task. E.g., RunCancellable, RunCancellableChan, RunUntil, CapturePanic, CapturePanicErr, PanicSafeFunc and so on.

Types

type AntsAsyncPool

type AntsAsyncPool struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func NewAntsAsyncPool deprecated

func NewAntsAsyncPool(maxWorkers int, opts ...asyncPoolOption) *AntsAsyncPool

Create a bounded pool of goroutines without extra task queue.

The maxWorkers determines the max number of workers.

AntsAsyncPool does not maintain task queue. By default, if all workers are busy, the caller of [AsyncPool.Go] is blocked indefinitively until the task can be processed.

You can use FallbackDropTask or FallbackCallerRun to change this behaviour.

AntsAsyncPool is good for cases where you want back pressure, i.e., stop producing tasks when all workers are busy.

In cases where you want to have an extra queue of tasks that do not always block task producers, use NewBoundedAsyncPool intead.

Deprecated: Since v0.3.10, migrate to NewAsyncPool if possible.

func (*AntsAsyncPool) Go

func (a *AntsAsyncPool) Go(f func())

func (*AntsAsyncPool) Run

func (p *AntsAsyncPool) Run(f func() error) Future[struct{}]

func (*AntsAsyncPool) Stop

func (a *AntsAsyncPool) Stop()

func (*AntsAsyncPool) StopAndWait

func (a *AntsAsyncPool) StopAndWait()

type AsyncPool

type AsyncPool interface {
	Go(f func())
	Stop()
	StopAndWait()
	Run(f func() error) Future[struct{}]
}

Async Pool Interface

func NewAsyncPool added in v0.3.11

func NewAsyncPool(maxWorkers int, opts ...asyncPoolOption) AsyncPool

Create a bounded pool of goroutines.

By default, the created AsyncPool does not maintain an extra task queue. If all workers are busy, the caller of [AsyncPool.Go] is blocked indefinitively until a worker is free.

This is good for cases where you want back pressure, i.e., stop producing tasks when all workers are busy.

In cases where you want an extra task queue, e.g., so that the task producers won't block so frequently when pool is exhausted, use WithTaskQueue to specify the task queue size. Decide whether you need a task queue based on your use case.

You can also use FallbackDropTask or FallbackCallerRun to customize fallback behaviour.

Find proper worker pool size based on N * GOMAXPROCS, e.g., in Redis connection pool, N might be 10; in web server connection pool, N can be 258 and so on.

When the tasks are CPU intensive, N should be relatively small, e.g., N=1 or N=2.

See CalcPoolSize.

func NewCpuAsyncPool deprecated

func NewCpuAsyncPool() AsyncPool

Create AsyncPool with number of workers equals to 4 * GOMAXPROCS.

Deprecated: Since v0.3.10. use NewAsyncPool instead.

Deprecated: Since v0.3.10. use NewAsyncPool instead.

type AwaitFutures

type AwaitFutures[T any] struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

AwaitFutures represent tasks that are submitted to the pool asynchronously whose results are awaited together.

AwaitFutures should only be used once for the same group of tasks.

type BoundedAsyncPool

type BoundedAsyncPool struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A long live, bounded pool of goroutines.

Use NewBoundedAsyncPool to create a new pool.

BoundedAsyncPool internally maintains a task queue with limited size and limited number of workers.

By default, if the task queue is full and all workers are busy, the caller of *BoundedAsyncPool.Go is blocked indefinitively until the task can be processed. You can use FallbackDropTask or FallbackCallerRun to change this behaviour.

func NewBoundedAsyncPool deprecated

func NewBoundedAsyncPool(maxTasks int, maxWorkers int, opts ...asyncPoolOption) *BoundedAsyncPool

Create a bounded pool of goroutines.

The maxTasks determines the capacity of the task queues.

The maxWorkers determines the max number of workers.

By default, if the task queue is full and all workers are busy, the caller of *AsyncPool.Go is blocked indefinitively until the task can be processed. You can use FallbackDropTask or FallbackCallerRun to change this behaviour.

Deprecated: Since v0.3.10, migrate to NewAsyncPool if possible.
