Create worker configuration

Description

Create a worker configuration, suitable to pass into rrq_worker_config_save. The results of this function should not be modified.

Usage

rrq_worker_config(
  queue = NULL,
  verbose = TRUE,
  poll_queue = NULL,
  timeout_idle = Inf,
  poll_process = 1,
  timeout_process_die = 2,
  heartbeat_period = NULL
)

Arguments

queue

Optional character vector of queues to listen on for tasks. There is a default queue which is always listened on (called 'default'). You can specify additional names here and tasks put onto these queues with rrq_task_create_expr() (or other functions) will have higher priority than the default. You can explicitly list the "default" queue (e.g., queue = c("high", "default", "low")) to set the position of the default queue.

verbose

Logical, indicating if the worker should print logging output to the screen. Logging to screen has a small but measurable performance cost, and if you will not collect system logs from the worker then it is wasted time. Logging to the redis server is always enabled.

poll_queue

Polling time for new tasks on the queue or messages. Longer values here will reduce the impact on the database but make workers less responsive to being killed with an interrupt (control-C or Escape). The default should be good for most uses, but shorter values are used for debugging. Importantly, longer times here do not increase the time taken for a worker to detect new tasks.

timeout_idle

Optional timeout that sets the length of time after which the worker will exit if it has not processed a task. This is (roughly) equivalent to issuing a TIMEOUT_SET message after initialising the worker, except that it's guaranteed to be run by all workers.

poll_process

Polling time indicating how long to wait for a background process to produce stdout or stderr. Only used for tasks queued with separate_process TRUE.

timeout_process_die

Timeout indicating how long to wait wait for the background process to respond to SIGTERM, either as we stop a worker or cancel a task. Only used for tasks queued with separate_process TRUE. If your tasks may take several seconds to stop, you may want to increase this to ensure a clean exit.

heartbeat_period

Optional period for the heartbeat. If non-NULL then a heartbeat process will be started (using rrq_heartbeat) which can be used to build fault tolerant queues. See vignette("fault-tolerance") for details. If NULL (the default), then no heartbeat is configured.

Value

A list of values with class rrq_worker_config; these should be considered read-only, and contain only the validated input parameters.
