Setting up Gearman serverlatest version: 0.24

aptitude install gearman-job-server

Setting up PECL Extension

pecl install channel://pecl.php.net/gearman-0.8.0.tgz

extension=gearman.so

user@server:~# gearmand

Basic Usage

Worker

$worker = new GearmanWorker();$worker->addServer();$worker->addFunction( ‘imageResize‘, array($image, ‘resize‘));

while($worker->work()) {}

$worker = new GearmanWorker();$worker->addServer();$worker->addFunction( ‘imageResize‘, array($image, ‘resize‘));

while($worker->work()) {}

$worker = new GearmanWorker();$worker->addServer();$worker->addFunction( ‘imageResize‘, array($image, ‘resize‘));

while($worker->work()) {}

$worker = new GearmanWorker();$worker->addServer();$worker->addFunction( ‘imageResize‘, array($image, ‘resize‘));

while($worker->work()) {}

$worker = new GearmanWorker();$worker->addServer();$worker->addFunction( ‘imageResize‘, array($image, ‘resize‘));

while($worker->work()) {}

namespace Cxo;

class Image{ public function resize(\GearmanJob $job) { $tmpFile = $job->workload(); // Resizing takes place here ... return $finalFileName; }}

namespace Cxo;

class Image{ public function resize(\GearmanJob $job) { $tmpFile = $job->workload(); // Resizing takes place here ... return $finalFileName; }}

namespace Cxo;

class Image{ public function resize(\GearmanJob $job) { $tmpFile = $job->workload(); // Resizing takes place here ... return $finalFileName; }}

namespace Cxo;

class Image{ public function resize(\GearmanJob $job) { $tmpFile = $job->workload(); // Resizing takes place here ... return $finalFileName; }}

Synchronous Jobs

$client = new GearmanClient();$client->addServer();

$client->do('imageResize', '/tmp/someimage.jpg');

$client = new GearmanClient();$client->addServer();

$client->do('imageResize', '/tmp/someimage.jpg');

$client = new GearmanClient();$client->addServer();

$client->do('imageResize', '/tmp/someimage.jpg');

$client = new GearmanClient();$client->addServer();

$client->do('imageResize', '/tmp/someimage.jpg');

$client->doHigh();

$client->do() returns worker result

Asynchronous Jobs

$client->doBackground( 'imageResize', '/tmp/someimage.jpg');

$client->doBackground() returns job handle

Tasks

$client->addTask( 'imageResize', '/tmp/someimage.jpg');

$client->addTaskBackground( 'imageResize', '/tmp/someimage.jpg');

$client->runTasks();

Scale by adding more workers(as long as you‘re not running jobs synchronously)

Job status

$handle = $client->doBackground();

$status = $client->jobStatus($handle);

array(4) { [0]=> bool(true) // Is the job known? [1]=> bool(true) // Is the job running? [2]=> int(4) // Numerator [3]=> int(10) // Denominator}

$job->sendStatus(4, 10);

Error handling

GEARMAN_SUCCESS

GEARMAN_WORK_FAIL

$worker->returnCode();

$client->returnCode();

$job->sendFail();

$job->sendWarning(‘Something went wrong‘);

$job->sendException(‘Something went wrong‘);

$message = $client->do();

Managing workers

supervisord

Memory consumption

Persistence

“Whuh?“

$client->doJobHandle();doesn‘t do what it should - and many more functions as well

GearmanClient::setOptions

Return Values: Always returns TRUE

do is a keyword

Thank you!
