php-resque: PHP Resque Worker (and Enqueue)
Resque is a Redis-backed library for creating background jobs, placing those jobs on one or more queues, and processing them later.
Background
Resque was pioneered and is developed by the fine folks at GitHub (yes, I am a kiss-ass), and written in Ruby. What you're seeing here is an almost direct port of the Resque worker and enqueue system to PHP.
For more information on Resque, visit the official GitHub project: https://github.com/resque/resque
For further information, see the launch post on the GitHub blog: http://github.com/blog/542-introducing-resque
The PHP port does NOT include its own web interface for viewing queue stats, as the data is stored in the exact same expected format as the Ruby version of Resque.
The PHP port provides much the same features as the Ruby version:
- Workers can be distributed between multiple machines
- Includes support for priorities (queues)
- Resilient to memory leaks (forking)
- Expects failure
It also supports the following additional features:
- Has the ability to track the status of jobs
- Will mark a job as failed, if a forked child running a job does not exit with a status code as 0
- Has built in support for
setUp
andtearDown
methods, called pre and post jobs
Requirements
- PHP 5.3+
- Redis 2.2+
- Optional but Recommended: Composer
Getting Started
The easiest way to work with php-resque is when it's installed as a Composer package inside your project. Composer isn't strictly required, but makes life a lot easier.
If you're not familiar with Composer, please see http://getcomposer.org/.
-
Add php-resque to your application's
composer.json
. -
Run
composer install
. - If you haven't already, add the Composer autoload to your project's initialization file. (example)
Jobs
Queueing Jobs
Jobs are queued as follows:
Defining Jobs
Each job should be in its own class, and include a perform
method.
When the job is run, the class will be instantiated and any arguments
will be set as an array on the instantiated object, and are accessible
via $this->args
.
Any exception thrown by a job will result in the job failing - be careful here and make sure you handle the exceptions that shouldn't result in a job failing.
Jobs can also have setUp
and tearDown
methods. If a setUp
method
is defined, it will be called before the perform
method is run.
The tearDown
method, if defined, will be called after the job finishes.
Dequeueing Jobs
This method can be used to conveniently remove a job from a queue.
If no jobs are given, this method will dequeue all jobs matching the provided queue.
Tracking Job Statuses
php-resque has the ability to perform basic status tracking of a queued job. The status information will allow you to check if a job is in the queue, is currently being run, has finished, or has failed.
To track the status of a job, pass true
as the fourth argument to
Resque::enqueue
. A token used for tracking the job status will be
returned:
To fetch the status of a job:
Job statuses are defined as constants in the Resque_Job_Status
class.
Valid statuses include:
Resque_Job_Status::STATUS_WAITING
- Job is still queuedResque_Job_Status::STATUS_RUNNING
- Job is currently runningResque_Job_Status::STATUS_FAILED
- Job has failedResque_Job_Status::STATUS_COMPLETE
- Job is completefalse
- Failed to fetch the status - is the token valid?
Statuses are available for up to 24 hours after a job has completed
or failed, and are then automatically expired. A status can also
forcefully be expired by calling the stop()
method on a status
class.
Workers
Workers work in the exact same way as the Ruby workers. For complete documentation on workers, see the original documentation.
A basic "up-and-running" bin/resque
file is included that sets up a
running worker environment. (vendor/bin/resque
when installed
via Composer)
The exception to the similarities with the Ruby version of resque is how a worker is initially setup. To work under all environments, not having a single environment such as with Ruby, the PHP port makes no assumptions about your setup.
To start a worker, it's very similar to the Ruby version:
It's your responsibility to tell the worker which file to include to get
your application underway. You do so by setting the APP_INCLUDE
environment
variable:
Pro tip: Using Composer? More than likely, you don't need to worry about
APP_INCLUDE
, because hopefully Composer is responsible for autoloading
your application too!
Getting your application underway also includes telling the worker your job classes, by means of either an autoloader or including them.
Alternately, you can always include('bin/resque')
from your application and
skip setting APP_INCLUDE
altogether. Just be sure the various environment
variables are set (setenv
) before you do.
Logging
The port supports the same environment variables for logging to STDOUT.
Setting VERBOSE
will print basic debugging information and VVERBOSE
will print detailed information.
Priorities and Queue Lists
Similarly, priority and queue list functionality works exactly the same as the Ruby workers. Multiple queues should be separated with a comma, and the order that they're supplied in is the order that they're checked in.
As per the original example:
The file_serve
queue will always be checked for new jobs on each
iteration before the warm_cache
queue is checked.
Running All Queues
All queues are supported in the same manner and processed in alphabetical order:
Running Multiple Workers
Multiple workers can be launched simultaneously by supplying the COUNT
environment variable:
Be aware, however, that each worker is its own fork, and the original process
will shut down as soon as it has spawned COUNT
forks. If you need to keep
track of your workers using an external application such as monit
, you'll
need to work around this limitation.
Custom prefix
When you have multiple apps using the same Redis database it is better to use a custom prefix to separate the Resque data:
Forking
Similarly to the Ruby versions, supported platforms will immediately fork after picking up a job. The forked child will exit as soon as the job finishes.
The difference with php-resque is that if a forked child does not exit nicely (PHP error or such), php-resque will automatically fail the job.
Signals
Signals also work on supported platforms exactly as in the Ruby version of Resque:
QUIT
- Wait for job to finish processing then exitTERM
/INT
- Immediately kill job then exitUSR1
- Immediately kill job but don't exitUSR2
- Pause worker, no new jobs will be processedCONT
- Resume worker.
Process Titles/Statuses
The Ruby version of Resque has a nifty feature whereby the process title of the worker is updated to indicate what the worker is doing, and any forked children also set their process title with the job being run. This helps identify running processes on the server and their resque status.
PHP does not have this functionality by default until 5.5.
A PECL module (http://pecl.php.net/package/proctitle) exists that adds this functionality to PHP before 5.5, so if you'd like process titles updated, install the PECL module as well. php-resque will automatically detect and use it.
Event/Hook System
php-resque has a basic event system that can be used by your application to customize how some of the php-resque internals behave.
You listen in on events (as listed below) by registering with Resque_Event
and supplying a callback that you would like triggered when the event is
raised:
[callback]
may be anything in PHP that is callable by call_user_func_array
:
- A string with the name of a function
- An array containing an object and method to call
- An array containing an object and a static method to call
- A closure (PHP 5.3+)
Events may pass arguments (documented below), so your callback should accept these arguments.
You can stop listening to an event by calling Resque_Event::stopListening
with the same arguments supplied to Resque_Event::listen
.
It is up to your application to register event listeners. When enqueuing events
in your application, it should be as easy as making sure php-resque is loaded
and calling Resque_Event::listen
.
When running workers, if you run workers via the default bin/resque
script,
your APP_INCLUDE
script should initialize and register any listeners required
for operation. If you have rolled your own worker manager, then it is again your
responsibility to register listeners.
A sample plugin is included in the extras
directory.
Events
beforeFirstFork
Called once, as a worker initializes. Argument passed is the instance of Resque_Worker
that was just initialized.
beforeFork
Called before php-resque forks to run a job. Argument passed contains the instance of
Resque_Job
for the job about to be run.
beforeFork
is triggered in the parent process. Any changes made will be permanent
for as long as the worker lives.
afterFork
Called after php-resque forks to run a job (but before the job is run). Argument
passed contains the instance of Resque_Job
for the job about to be run.
afterFork
is triggered in the child process after forking out to complete a job. Any
changes made will only live as long as the job is being processed.
beforePerform
Called before the setUp
and perform
methods on a job are run. Argument passed
contains the instance of Resque_Job
for the job about to be run.
You can prevent execution of the job by throwing an exception of Resque_Job_DontPerform
.
Any other exceptions thrown will be treated as if they were thrown in a job, causing the
job to fail.
afterPerform
Called after the perform
and tearDown
methods on a job are run. Argument passed
contains the instance of Resque_Job
that was just run.
Any exceptions thrown will be treated as if they were thrown in a job, causing the job to be marked as having failed.
onFailure
Called whenever a job fails. Arguments passed (in this order) include:
- Exception - The exception that was thrown when the job failed
- Resque_Job - The job that failed
beforeEnqueue
Called immediately before a job is enqueued using the Resque::enqueue
method.
Arguments passed (in this order) include:
- Class - string containing the name of the job to be enqueued
- Arguments - array of arguments for the job
- Queue - string containing the name of the queue the job is to be enqueued in
- ID - string containing the token of the job to be enqueued
You can prevent enqueing of the job by throwing an exception of Resque_Job_DontCreate
.
afterEnqueue
Called after a job has been queued using the Resque::enqueue
method. Arguments passed
(in this order) include:
- Class - string containing the name of scheduled job
- Arguments - array of arguments supplied to the job
- Queue - string containing the name of the queue the job was added to
- ID - string containing the new token of the enqueued job
