Scaffolding for implementing robust background processing scripts.

Autoscaling

Autoscaling automatically launches copies of a daemon when it is busy (scaling the pool up) and stops them when they're idle (scaling the pool down). This is appropriate for daemons which perform highly parallelizable work.

To make a daemon support autoscaling, the implementation should look something like this:

while (!$this->shouldExit()) {
  if (work_available()) {
    $this->willBeginWork();
    do_work();
    $this->sleep(0);
  } else {
    $this->willBeginIdle();
    $this->sleep(1);
  }
}

In particular, call willBeginWork() before becoming busy, and willBeginIdle() when no work is available. If the daemon is launched into an autoscale pool, this will cause the pool to automatically scale up when busy and down when idle.

See PhutilHighIntensityIntervalDaemon for an example of a simple autoscaling daemon.

Launching a daemon which does not make these callbacks into an autoscale pool will have no effect.

public function getPhobjectClassConstant($key, $byte_limit)
Inherited

Phobject

Read the value of a class constant.

This is the same as just typing self::CONSTANTNAME, but throws a more useful message if the constant is not defined and allows the constant to be limited to a maximum length.

Parameters

string	$key	Name of the constant.
int\|null	$byte_limit	Maximum number of bytes permitted in the value.

Return

string

Value of the constant.

protected function willBeginWork()

Prepare to become busy. This may autoscale the pool up.

This notifies the overseer that the daemon has become busy. If daemons that are part of an autoscale pool are continuously busy for a prolonged period of time, the overseer may scale up the pool.

Return

this

protected function willBeginIdle()

Prepare to idle. This may autoscale the pool down.

This notifies the overseer that the daemon is no longer busy. If daemons that are part of an autoscale pool are idle for a prolonged period of time, they may exit to scale the pool down.

Return
