NAME

AnyEvent::Gearman::Worker - Gearman worker for AnyEvent application

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use AnyEvent::Gearman::Worker;
# create gearman worker
my $worker = AnyEvent::Gearman::Worker->new(
    job_servers => ['127.0.0.1', '192.168.0.1:123'],
);
# add worker function
$worker->register_function( reverse => sub {
    my $job = shift;
    my $res = reverse $job->workload;
    $job->complete($res);
});
            
          

DESCRIPTION

This is Gearman worker module for AnyEvent applications.

METHODS

new(%options)

Create gearman worker object.

            

              
              
my $worker = AnyEvent::Gearman::Worker->new(
    job_servers => ['127.0.0.1', '192.168.0.1:123'],
);
            
          

Options are:

job_servers => 'ArrayRef'

List of gearman servers. 'host:port' or just 'host' formats are allowed. In latter case, gearman default port 4730 will be used.

You should set at least one job_server.

register_function( $function_name, $subref )

Register worker function.

            

              
              
$worker->register_function( reverse => sub {
    my $job = shift;
    my $res = reverse $job->workload;
    $job->complete($res);
});
            
          

$function_name is function name string to register.

$subref is worker CodeRef that will be executed when the worker received a request for this function. And it will be passed a AnyEvent::Gearman::Job object representing the job that has been received by the worker.

NOTE: Unlike Gearman::Worker, this module ignore $subref's return value. So you should call either $job->complete or $job->fail at least.

This is because this module stands AnyEvent's asynchronous way, and this way more flexible in AnyEvent world.

For example:

            

              
              
$worker->register_function( reverse => sub {
    my $job = shift;
    my $t; $t = AnyEvent->timer(
        after => 10,
        cb    => sub {
            undef $t;
            $job->complete('done!');
        },
    );
});
            
          

This is simplest and meaningless codes but you can write worker process with AnyEvent way. This is asynchronous worker.

unregister_function( $function_name )

Unregister worker function, notifying to server that this worker no longer handle $function_name.
