why close does not exit?

[guotie]

var nsq = require('nsq.js');

var writer = nsq.writer('10.10.133.80:4150');
writer.publish('urlitems', "www.sina.com.cn");
console.log("ok.");
writer.close();

when i run it, the command do not exit, why?

i can reproduce, investigating

nsq.js doesn't queue ops when the connection isn't ready yet, thus listen to the ready event:

var nsq = require('nsq.js');

var writer = nsq.writer('10.10.133.80:4150');
writer.once('ready', function(){
  writer.publish('urlitems', "www.sina.com.cn");
  console.log("ok.");
  writer.close();
});

thanks.

document it in the readme is better.

@visionmedia what's your plan for this?

probably just leave it as-is for now (with docs), maybe buffer some day but if a connection goes down and we buffer our latency could be pretty awful, almost better to just respond with an error until things are fine, or we could have a bunch of timeouts etc but that would probably be over-engineering for now
