Queued Events
Queued Events are events sent to the
Sink
synchronously whileScreen
s are being updated. Wequeue
them up and are applied after theScreen
update operation.Issues
Our existing implementation of
Queued
events handling has a few issues:Workflow
node can handle only one event, if another event is sent, wefatalError
with aAction sent to pipe while in the pending state.
message.Workflow
nodes have events queued, only one of them will be handled, the rest are silently dropped.enabling
and handlingEventPipes
while handlingqueued
events, the Workflow tree can get into an inconsistent state and sometimes leads to a crash.Solution
To solve this issue, in this PR, we are not queueing events in the
SubtreeManager
, instead we schedule the event to be delivered to theEventPipe
asynchronously. This fixes the issues outlined above.
