Elementary RPC
Elementary RPC is a basic Protobuf HTTP RPC gem which aims to provide:
- Easy RPC usage
- Parallelism by default
- An easily extended RPC request pipeline
Sample Usage
For the following Protobuf RPC service definition:
package echoserv;
message String {
required string data = 1;
optional int64 status = 2;
}
service Simple {
rpc Echo (String) returns (String);
rpc Reverse (String) returns (String);
}
A corresponding Ruby client might look something like this:
require 'rubygems'
require 'elementary'
require 'echoserv/service.pb' # Include our protobuf object declarations
hosts = [{:host => 'localhost', :port => '9292', :prefix => '/rpcserv'}]
# Let's use the Statsd middleware to send RPC timing and count information to
# Graphite (this presumes we have already used `Statsd.create_instance` elsewhere
# in our code)
Elementary.use(Elementary::Middleware::Statsd, :client => Statsd.instance)
# Create our Connection object that knows about our Protobuf service
# definition
def connection
return @connection if @connection
@connection = Elementary::Connection.new(Echoserv::Simple,
:hosts => hosts)
end
# Create a Protobuf message to send over RPC
msg = Echoserv::String.new(:data => str)
echoed = c.rpc.echo(msg) # => Elementary::Future
reversed = c.rpc.reverse(msg) # => Elementary::Future
sleep 10 # Twiddle our thumbs doing other things
puts {
:echoed => echoed.value, # resolve the future and get our value out
:reversed => reversed.value,
}.to_json
