resque-fairly

Normally resque processes queues in a fixed order. This can lead to jobs in queues at the end of the list not getting handled for very long periods. resque-fairly provides a mechanism where by workers are distributed across the set of queues with pending jobs fairly. This results in a much more predictable mean time to handling for jobs in queues that are not the first in the list.

Weighted Priorites

resque-fairly works by sorting the queues randomly before assigning the next queue on the list to a worker. You can add weights to your various queues to alter their likelihood of being selected, by using /priorities/. The priorities select queues by regular expression.

Example:

Resque::Plugins::Fairly.prioritize(/^a/, 2)

The above will prioritize queues whose names start with 'a' to be selected twice as often as the default.

You can use floating point numbers, 0 and/or negative numbers as the multiplier.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.
  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.
  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
  • Commit, do not mess with the version. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
