Constructor Details

#initialize(connection = nil, observer = nil) ⇒ MQ

Returns a new channel. A channel is a bidirectional virtual connection between the client and the AMQP server. Elsewhere in the library the channel is referred to in parameter lists as mq.

Optionally takes the result from calling AMQP::connect.

Rarely called directly by client code. This is implicitly called by most instance methods. See #method_missing.

EM.run do
  channel = MQ.new
end

EM.run do
  channel = MQ.new AMQP::connect
end

end

#direct(name = 'amq.direct', opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Defines, intializes and returns an Exchange to act as an ingress point for all published messages.

Direct

A direct exchange is useful for 1:1 communication between a publisher and subscriber. Messages are routed to the queue with a binding that shares the same name as the exchange. Alternately, the messages are routed to the bound queue that shares the same name as the routing key used for defining the exchange. This exchange type does not honor the :key option when defining a new instance with a name. It will honor the :key option if the exchange name is the empty string. Allocating this exchange without a name or with the empty string will use the internal ‘amq.direct’ exchange.

Any published message, regardless of its persistence setting, is thrown away by the exchange when there are no queues bound to it.

# exchange is named 'foo'
exchange = MQ.direct('foo')

# or, the exchange can use the default name (amq.direct) and perform
# routing comparisons using the :key
exchange = MQ.direct("", :key => 'foo')
exchange.publish('some data') # will be delivered to queue bound to 'foo'

queue = MQ.queue('foo')
# can receive data since the queue name and the exchange key match exactly
queue.pop { |data| puts "received data [#{data}]" }

Options

  • :passive => true | false (default false)

If set, the server will not create the exchange if it does not already exist. The client can use this to check whether an exchange exists without modifying the server state.

  • :durable => true | false (default false)

If set when creating a new exchange, the exchange will be marked as durable. Durable exchanges remain active when a server restarts. Non-durable exchanges (transient exchanges) are purged if/when a server restarts.

A transient exchange (the default) is stored in memory-only. The exchange and all bindings will be lost on a server restart. It makes no sense to publish a persistent message to a transient exchange.

Durable exchanges and their bindings are recreated upon a server restart. Any published messages not routed to a bound queue are lost.

  • :auto_delete => true | false (default false)

If set, the exchange is deleted when all queues have finished using it. The server waits for a short period of time before determining the exchange is unused to give time to the client code to bind a queue to it.

If the exchange has been previously declared, this option is ignored on subsequent declarations.

  • :internal => true | false (default false)

If set, the exchange may not be used directly by publishers, but only when bound to other exchanges. Internal exchanges are used to construct wiring that is not visible to applications.

  • :nowait => true | false (default true)

If set, the server will not respond to the method. The client should not wait for a reply method. If the server could not complete the method it will raise a channel or connection exception.

Exceptions

Doing any of these activities are illegal and will raise MQ:Error.

  • redeclare an already-declared exchange to a different type

  • :passive => true and the exchange does not exist (NOT_FOUND)

end

#fanout(name = 'amq.fanout', opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Defines, intializes and returns an Exchange to act as an ingress point for all published messages.

Fanout

A fanout exchange is useful for 1:N communication where one publisher feeds multiple subscribers. Like direct exchanges, messages published to a fanout exchange are delivered to queues whose name matches the exchange name (or are bound to that exchange name). Each queue gets its own copy of the message.

Any published message, regardless of its persistence setting, is thrown away by the exchange when there are no queues bound to it.

Like the direct exchange type, this exchange type does not honor the :key option when defining a new instance with a name. It will honor the :key option if the exchange name is the empty string. Allocating this exchange without a name or with the empty string will use the internal ‘amq.fanout’ exchange.

EM.run do
  clock = MQ.fanout('clock')
  EM.add_periodic_timer(1) do
    puts "\npublishing #{time = Time.now}"
    clock.publish(Marshal.dump(time))
  end

  amq = MQ.queue('every second')
  amq.bind(MQ.fanout('clock')).subscribe do |time|
    puts "every second received #{Marshal.load(time)}"
  end

  # note the string passed to #bind
  MQ.queue('every 5 seconds').bind('clock').subscribe do |time|
    time = Marshal.load(time)
    puts "every 5 seconds received #{time}" if time.strftime('%S').to_i%5 == 0
  end
end

Options

  • :passive => true | false (default false)

If set, the server will not create the exchange if it does not already exist. The client can use this to check whether an exchange exists without modifying the server state.

  • :durable => true | false (default false)

If set when creating a new exchange, the exchange will be marked as durable. Durable exchanges remain active when a server restarts. Non-durable exchanges (transient exchanges) are purged if/when a server restarts.

A transient exchange (the default) is stored in memory-only. The exchange and all bindings will be lost on a server restart. It makes no sense to publish a persistent message to a transient exchange.

Durable exchanges and their bindings are recreated upon a server restart. Any published messages not routed to a bound queue are lost.

  • :auto_delete => true | false (default false)

If set, the exchange is deleted when all queues have finished using it. The server waits for a short period of time before determining the exchange is unused to give time to the client code to bind a queue to it.

If the exchange has been previously declared, this option is ignored on subsequent declarations.

  • :internal => true | false (default false)

  • :nowait => true | false (default true)

If set, the server will not respond to the method. The client should not wait for a reply method. If the server could not complete the method it will raise a channel or connection exception.

Exceptions

Doing any of these activities are illegal and will raise MQ:Error.

  • redeclare an already-declared exchange to a different type

end

#headers(name = 'amq.match', opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Defines, intializes and returns an Exchange to act as an ingress point for all published messages.

Headers

A headers exchange allows for messages to be published to an exchange

Any published message, regardless of its persistence setting, is thrown away by the exchange when there are no queues bound to it.

As part of the AMQP standard, each server should predeclare a headers exchange called ‘amq.match’ (this is not required by the standard). Allocating this exchange without a name or with the empty string will use the internal ‘amq.match’ exchange.

TODO: The classic example is …

When publishing data to the exchange, bound queues subscribing to the exchange indicate which data interests them by passing arguments for matching against the headers in published messages. The form of the matching can be controlled by the ‘x-match’ argument, which may be ‘any’ or ‘all’. If unspecified (in RabbitMQ at least), it defaults to “all”.

A value of ‘all’ for ‘x-match’ implies that all values must match (i.e. it does an AND of the headers ), while a value of ‘any’ implies that at least one should match (ie. it does an OR).

TODO: document behavior when either the binding or the message is missing

a header present in the other

TODO: insert example

Options

  • :passive => true | false (default false)

If set, the server will not create the exchange if it does not already exist. The client can use this to check whether an exchange exists without modifying the server state.

Exceptions

Doing any of these activities are illegal and will raise MQ:Error.

  • redeclare an already-declared exchange to a different type

  • :passive => true and the exchange does not exist (NOT_FOUND)

  • using a value other than “any” or “all” for “x-match”

#process_frame(frame) ⇒ Object

May raise a MQ::Error exception when the frame payload contains a Protocol::Channel::Close object.

This usually occurs when a client attempts to perform an illegal operation. A short, and incomplete, list of potential illegal operations follows:

  • publish a message to a deleted exchange (NOT_FOUND)

  • declare an exchange using the reserved ‘amq.’ naming structure (ACCESS_REFUSED)

#queue(name, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Queues store and forward messages. Queues can be configured in the server or created at runtime. Queues must be attached to at least one exchange in order to receive messages from publishers.

Like an Exchange, queue names starting with ‘amq.’ are reserved for internal use. Attempts to create queue names in violation of this reservation will raise MQ:Error (ACCESS_REFUSED).

It is not supported to create a queue without a name; some string (even the empty string) must be passed in the name parameter.

Options

  • :passive => true | false (default false)

If set, the server will not create the exchange if it does not already exist. The client can use this to check whether an exchange exists without modifying the server state.

  • :durable => true | false (default false)

If set when creating a new queue, the queue will be marked as durable. Durable queues remain active when a server restarts. Non-durable queues (transient queues) are purged if/when a server restarts. Note that durable queues do not necessarily hold persistent messages, although it does not make sense to send persistent messages to a transient queue (though it is allowed).

Again, note the durability property on a queue has no influence on the persistence of published messages. A durable queue containing transient messages will flush those messages on a restart.

If the queue has already been declared, any redeclaration will ignore this setting. A queue may only be declared durable the first time when it is created.

  • :exclusive => true | false (default false)

Exclusive queues may only be consumed from by the current connection. Setting the ‘exclusive’ flag always implies ‘auto-delete’. Only a single consumer is allowed to remove messages from this queue.

The default is a shared queue. Multiple clients may consume messages from this queue.

Attempting to redeclare an already-declared queue as :exclusive => true will raise MQ:Error.

  • :auto_delete = true | false (default false)

If set, the queue is deleted when all consumers have finished using it. Last consumer can be cancelled either explicitly or because its channel is closed. If there was no consumer ever on the queue, it won’t be deleted.

The server waits for a short period of time before determining the queue is unused to give time to the client code to bind an exchange to it.

If the queue has been previously declared, this option is ignored on subsequent declarations.

Any remaining messages in the queue will be purged when the queue is deleted regardless of the message’s persistence setting.

  • :nowait => true | false (default true)

If set, the server will not respond to the method. The client should not wait for a reply method. If the server could not complete the method it will raise a channel or connection exception.

#rpc(name, obj = nil) ⇒ Object

Takes a channel, queue and optional object.

The optional object may be a class name, module name or object instance. When given a class or module name, the object is instantiated during this setup. The passed queue is automatically subscribed to so it passes all messages (and their arguments) to the object.

Marshalling and unmarshalling the objects is handled internally. This marshalling is subject to the same restrictions as defined in the Marshal standard library. See that documentation for further reference.

When the optional object is not passed, the returned rpc reference is used to send messages and arguments to the queue. See #method_missing which does all of the heavy lifting with the proxy. Some client elsewhere must call this method with the optional block so that there is a valid destination. Failure to do so will just enqueue marshalled messages that are never consumed.

#topic(name = 'amq.topic', opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Defines, intializes and returns an Exchange to act as an ingress point for all published messages.

Topic

A topic exchange allows for messages to be published to an exchange tagged with a specific routing key. The Exchange uses the routing key to determine which queues to deliver the message. Wildcard matching is allowed. The topic must be declared using dot notation to separate each subtopic.

This is the only exchange type to honor the key hash key for all cases.

Any published message, regardless of its persistence setting, is thrown away by the exchange when there are no queues bound to it.

As part of the AMQP standard, each server should predeclare a topic exchange called ‘amq.topic’ (this is not required by the standard). Allocating this exchange without a name or with the empty string will use the internal ‘amq.topic’ exchange.

The classic example is delivering market data. When publishing market data for stocks, we may subdivide the stream based on 2 characteristics: nation code and trading symbol. The topic tree for Apple Computer would look like:

'stock.us.aapl'

For a foreign stock, it may look like:

'stock.de.dax'

When publishing data to the exchange, bound queues subscribing to the exchange indicate which data interests them by passing a routing key for matching against the published routing key.

EM.run do
  exch = MQ.topic("stocks")
  keys = ['stock.us.aapl', 'stock.de.dax']

  EM.add_periodic_timer(1) do # every second
    puts
    exch.publish(10+rand(10), :routing_key => keys[rand(2)])
  end

  # match against one dot-separated item
  MQ.queue('us stocks').bind(exch, :key => 'stock.us.*').subscribe do |price|
    puts "us stock price [#{price}]"
  end

  # match against multiple dot-separated items
  MQ.queue('all stocks').bind(exch, :key => 'stock.#').subscribe do |price|
    puts "all stocks: price [#{price}]"
  end

  # require exact match
  MQ.queue('only dax').bind(exch, :key => 'stock.de.dax').subscribe do |price|
    puts "dax price [#{price}]"
  end
end

For matching, the ‘*’ (asterisk) wildcard matches against one dot-separated item only. The ‘#’ wildcard (hash or pound symbol) matches against 0 or more dot-separated items. If none of these symbols are used, the exchange performs a comparison looking for an exact match.

Options

  • :passive => true | false (default false)

If set, the server will not create the exchange if it does not already exist. The client can use this to check whether an exchange exists without modifying the server state.

  • :durable => true | false (default false)

If set when creating a new exchange, the exchange will be marked as durable. Durable exchanges remain active when a server restarts. Non-durable exchanges (transient exchanges) are purged if/when a server restarts.

A transient exchange (the default) is stored in memory-only. The exchange and all bindings will be lost on a server restart. It makes no sense to publish a persistent message to a transient exchange.

Durable exchanges and their bindings are recreated upon a server restart. Any published messages not routed to a bound queue are lost.

  • :auto_delete => true | false (default false)

If set, the exchange is deleted when all queues have finished using it. The server waits for a short period of time before determining the exchange is unused to give time to the client code to bind a queue to it.

If the exchange has been previously declared, this option is ignored on subsequent declarations.

  • :internal => true | false (default false)

If set, the exchange may not be used directly by publishers, but only when bound to other exchanges. Internal exchanges are used to construct wiring that is not visible to applications.

  • :nowait => true | false (default true)

If set, the server will not respond to the method. The client should not wait for a reply method. If the server could not complete the method it will raise a channel or connection exception.

Exceptions

Doing any of these activities are illegal and will raise MQ:Error.

  • redeclare an already-declared exchange to a different type

  • :passive => true and the exchange does not exist (NOT_FOUND)
