rack-fiber_pool
A Rack middleware component which runs each request in a Fiber from a pool of Fibers.
Requirements
- Ruby 1.9
- EventMachine-based server (e.g. thin or rainbows)
Usage
Add a require and use statement to your Rack app. See example/app.rb for a simple Sinatra app which illustrates proper usage. In general, you want the FiberPool to be inserted as early as possible in the middleware pipeline.
Options
You may fix the pool size, otherwise it defaults to 100:
use Rack::FiberPool, :size => 25
All exceptions raised by request handled within a fiber are rescued, by default returning a 500 with no body content. You may customize exceptions rescuing by providing a Proc object conforming to Rack's API:
rescue_exception = Proc.new { |env, exception| [503, {}, exception.] }
use Rack::FiberPool, :rescue_exception => rescue_exception
Rails
You can see your app's current pipeline of Rack middleware using:
rake middleware
Add Rack::FiberPool to your middleware in config/environment.rb:
require 'rack/fiber_pool'
Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
config.middleware.use Rack::FiberPool
config.threadsafe!
end
If you do experience odd issues, make sure it appears as early in the pipeline as possible. Anything that sets/gets thread local variables (like the Rails' session) or performs I/O should be later in the pipeline. For example, ActionController::Session::CookieStore does not work if it appears before Rack::FiberPool.
You can explicitly place the FiberPool like so:
ActionController::Dispatcher.middleware.insert_before ActionController::Session::CookieStore, Rack::FiberPool
Thanks to
Eric Wong - for adding explicit support for Rack::FiberPool to rainbows.
