ZkRecipes

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "zk_recipes"

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install zk_recipes

Usage

A cache that creates its own ZK client:

logger = Logger.new(STDERR)
cache = ZkRecipes::Cache.new(host: "my-host:1234", logger: logger, timeout: 10, zk_opts: { timeout: 5 }) do |z|
  z.register("/test/boom", "goat")
  z.register("/test/foo", 1) { |raw_value| raw_value.to_i * 2 }
end

puts cache["/test/boom"]
cache.close!

A cache that uses an existing ZK client:

logger = Logger.new(STDERR)
zk = ZK.new("my-host:1234", connect: false)
cache = ZkRecipes::Cache.new(logger: logger)
cache.register("/test/boom", "goat") { |string| "Hello, #{string}" }
cache.setup_callbacks(zk) # no more paths can be registered after this

puts cache["/test/boom"] # => "Hello, goat"

zk.connect
cache.wait_for_warm_cache(10) # wait up to 10s for the cache to warm

zk.create("/test/boom")
zk.set("/test/boom", "cat")

sleep 1

puts cache["/test/boom"] # => "Hello, cat"
cache.close!
zk.close!

Handling forks with a cache that creates it's own ZK client:

zk = ZK.new("my-host:1234") # zk client for writing only

logger = Logger.new(STDERR)
cache = ZkRecipes::Cache.new(host: "my-host:1234", logger: logger, timeout: 10) do |z|
  z.register("/test/boom", "goat")
end


puts cache["/test/boom"] # => "goat"

if fork
  # parent
  zk.set("/test/boom", "mouse")
  cache.close!
  zk.close!
else
  # child
  cache.reopen # wait up to 10s for ZK to reconnect and the cache to warm
  puts cache["/test/boom"] # => "mouse"
  cache.close!
  zk.close!
end

Handling forks with an existing ZK client:

logger = Logger.new(STDERR)
zk = ZK.new("my-host:1234", connect: false)
cache = ZkRecipes::Cache.new(logger: logger)
cache.register("/test/boom", "goat")
cache.setup_callbacks(zk) # no more paths can be registered after this

puts cache["/test/boom"] # => "goat"

zk.connect
cache.wait_for_warm_cache(10) # wait up to 10s for the cache to warm

zk.create("/test/boom")
zk.set("/test/boom", "cat")

sleep 1

puts cache["/test/boom"] # => "cat"

if fork
  # parent
  zk.set("/test/boom", "mouse")
  cache.close!
  zk.close!
else
  # child
  cache.reopen
  zk.reopen
  cache.wait_for_warm_cache(10) # wait up to 10s for the cache to warm again
  puts cache["/test/boom"] # => "mouse"
  cache.close!
  zk.close!
end

ActiveSupport::Notifications

ZkRecipes use ActiveSupport::Notifications for callbacks.

WARNING: exceptions raised in ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribe will bubble up to the line where the notification is instrumented. MAKE SURE YOU CATCH EXCEPTIONS IN YOUR SUBSCRIBE BLOCKS!

Example:

ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribe("cache.zk_recipes") do |_name, _start, _finish, _id, payload|
  if payload[:error]
    puts "There was a ZkRecipes::Cache error #{payload[:error]}"
    puts "The error occurred trying to deserialize a value from ZK "\
      "path=#{payload[:path] raw_zk_value=#{payload[:raw_value]}"
  else
    puts "Received and update for path=#{payload[:path}."
    puts "The update in ZK happened #{payload[:latency_seconds]} seconds ago."
    puts "The path's data is #{payload[:data_length]} bytes."
    puts "The path's version is #{payload[:version]}."
  end
end
