Chapter 13. Beanstalk
Beanstalk component
Available in Camel 2.15
camel-beanstalk project provides a Camel component for job retrieval and post-processing of Beanstalk jobs.
You can find the detailed explanation of Beanstalk job life cycle at Beanstalk protocol.
Dependencies
Maven users need to add the following dependency to their
pom.xml
<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId> <artifactId>camel-beanstalk</artifactId> <version>${camel-version}</version> </dependency>
where
${camel-version
} must be replaced by the actual version of Camel (2.15.0 or higher).
URI format
beanstalk://[host[:port]][/tube][?options]
You may omit either
port
or both host
and port
: for the Beanstalk defaults to be used (“localhost” and 11300). If you omit tube
, Beanstalk component will use the tube with name “default”.
When listening, you may probably want to watch for jobs from several tubes. Just separate them with plus sign, e.g.
beanstalk://localhost:11300/tube1+tube2
Tube name will be URL decoded, so if your tube names include special characters like + or ?, you need to URL-encode them appropriately, or use the RAW syntax, see more details here.
By the way, you cannot specify several tubes when you are writing jobs into Beanstalk.
Common URI options
Name
|
Default value
|
Description
|
---|---|---|
jobPriority | 1000 | Job priority. (0 is the highest, see Beanstalk protocol) |
jobDelay | 0 | Job delay in seconds. |
jobTimeToRun | 60 | Job time to run in seconds. (when 0, the beanstalkd daemon raises it to 1 automatically, see Beanstalk protocol) |
Producer UIR options
Producer behaviour is affected by the
command
parameter which tells what to do with the job, it can be
Name
|
Default value
|
Description
|
---|---|---|
command | put |
|
Consumer UIR options
The consumer may delete the job immediately after reserving it or wait until Camel routes process it. While the first scenario is more like a “message queue”, the second is similar to “job queue”. This behavior is controlled by
consumer.awaitJob
parameter, which equals true
by default (following Beanstalkd nature).
When synchronous, the consumer calls
delete
on successful job completion and calls bury
on failure. You can choose which command to execute in the case of failure by specifying consumer.onFailure
parameter in the URI. It can take values of bury
, delete
or release
.
There is a boolean parameter
consumer.useBlockIO
which corresponds to the same parameter in JavaBeanstalkClient library. By default it is true
.
Be careful when specifying
release
, as the failed job will immediately become available in the same tube and your consumer will try to acquire it again. You can release
and specify jobDelay though.
Name
|
Default value
|
Description
|
---|---|---|
onFailure | bury | Command to use when processing failed. You can choose among: bury, delete or release. |
useBlockIO | true | Whether to use blockIO. |
awaitJob | true | Whether to wait for job to complete before ack the job from beanstalk |
The beanstalk consumer is a Scheduled Polling Consumer which means there is more options you can configure, such as how frequent the consumer should poll. For more details see Polling Consumer.
Consumer Headers
The consumer stores a number of job headers in the Exchange message:
Property
|
Type
|
Description
|
---|---|---|
beanstalk.jobId | long | Job ID |
beanstalk.tube | string | the name of the tube that contains this job |
beanstalk.state | string | “ready” or “delayed” or “reserved” or “buried” (must be “reserved”) |
beanstalk.priority | long | the priority value set |
beanstalk.age | int | the time in seconds since the put command that created this job |
beanstalk.time-left | int | the number of seconds left until the server puts this job into the ready queue |
beanstalk.timeouts | int | the number of times this job has timed out during a reservation |
beanstalk.releases | int | the number of times a client has released this job from a reservation |
beanstalk.buries | int | the number of times this job has been buried |
beanstalk.kicks | int | the number of times this job has been kicked |
Examples
This Camel component lets you both request the jobs for processing and supply them to Beanstalkd daemon. Our simple demo routes may look like
from("beanstalk:testTube"). log("Processing job #${property.beanstalk.jobId} with body ${in.body}"). process(new Processor() { @Override public void process(Exchange exchange) { // try to make integer value out of body exchange.getIn().setBody( Integer.valueOf(exchange.getIn().getBody(classOf[String])) ); } }). log("Parsed job #${property.beanstalk.jobId} to body ${in.body}");
from("timer:dig?period=30seconds"). setBody(constant(10)).log("Kick ${in.body} buried/delayed tasks"). to("beanstalk:testTube?command=kick");
In the first route we are listening for new jobs in tube “testTube”. When they are arriving, we are trying to parse integer value from the message body. If done successful, we log it and this successful exchange completion makes Camel component to delete this job from Beanstalk automatically. Contrary, when we cannot parse the job data, the exchange failed and the Camel component buries it by default, so that it can be processed later or probably we are going to inspect failed jobs manually.
So the second route periodically requests Beanstalk to kick 10 jobs out of buried and/or delayed state to the normal queue.
