The Job
Library defmodule Poz do def select do items = Enum.to_list
(1..100) :timer.sleep(:rand.uniform(100)) Progress.incr(:select, length(items)) items end def download(record) do :timer.sleep(:rand.uniform(100)) Progress.incr(:download) {:file, record} end
Library cont. def extract(file) do :timer.sleep(:rand.uniform(10)) Progress.incr(:extract) {:text, file} end
def index(texts) do :timer.sleep(:rand.uniform(1000)) Progress.incr(:index, length(texts)) :ok end end
Example blueprint defmodule Example do import Poz def run do
Progress.start_link([:select, :download, :extract, :index]) # work work work Progress.stop() end end
Example 1 - Enum select() |> Enum.map(&download/1) |> Enum.map(&extract/1) |>
index()
Example 1 - Enum
Example 2 - Stream select() |> Stream.concat([]) |> Stream.map(&download/1) |>
Stream.map(&extract/1) |> Enum.to_list() |> index()
Example 2 - Stream
Example 3 - Task.async select() |> Enum.map(fn e -> Task.async(Poz,
:download, [e]) end) |> Enum.map(&Task.await/1) |> Enum.map(fn e -> Task.async(Poz, :extract, [e]) end) |> Enum.map(&Task.await/1) |> index()
Example 3 - Task.async
Stages
GenStage explained
Example 4 - GenStage - SELECT defmodule Select do use
GenStage def init(_), do: {:producer, :ok} def handle_demand(demand, :ok) do items = Poz.select() {:noreply, items, :empty} end def handle_demand(_demand, :empty) do {:noreply, [], :empty} end end
Example 4 - GenStage - DOWNLOAD defmodule Download do use
GenStage def init(_), do: {:producer_consumer, :ok} def handle_events(items, _from, state) do files = Enum.map(items, &Poz.download/1) {:noreply, files, state} end end
Example 4 - GenStage - EXTRACT defmodule Extract do use
GenStage def init(_), do: {:producer_consumer, :ok} def handle_events(files, _from, state) do texts = Enum.map(files, &Poz.extract/1) {:noreply, files, texts} end end
Example 4 - GenStage - INDEX defmodule Index do use
GenStage def init(_), do: {:consumer, :ok} def handle_events(texts, _from, state) do Poz.index(texts) {:noreply, [], state} end end
Example 4 - GenStage {:ok, select} = GenStage.start_link(Select, :ok) {:ok,
download} = GenStage.start_link(Download, :ok) {:ok, extract} = GenStage.start_link(Extract, :ok) {:ok, index} = GenStage.start_link(Index, :ok) GenStage.sync_subscribe(download, to: select) GenStage.sync_subscribe(extract, to: download) GenStage.sync_subscribe(index, to: extract) :timer.sleep(:infinity)
Example 4 - GenStage (defaults)
Example 5 - GenStage (custom demand) {:ok, select} = GenStage.start_link(Select,
:ok) {:ok, download} = GenStage.start_link(Download, :ok) {:ok, extract} = GenStage.start_link(Extract, :ok) {:ok, index} = GenStage.start_link(Index, :ok) GenStage.sync_subscribe(download, to: select, max_demand: 20) GenStage.sync_subscribe(extract, to: download, max_demand: 20) GenStage.sync_subscribe(index, to: extract, max_demand: 100) :timer.sleep(:infinity)
Example 5 - GenStage (tuned demand)
Example 6 - GenStage (multiprocess) {:ok, select} = GenStage.start_link(Select, :ok)
{:ok, extract} = GenStage.start_link(Extract, :ok) {:ok, index} = GenStage.start_link(Index, :ok) for i <- (1..10) do {:ok, download} = GenStage.start_link(Download, i) GenStage.sync_subscribe(download, to: select, max_demand: 20) GenStage.sync_subscribe(extract, to: download, max_demand: 20) end GenStage.sync_subscribe(index, to: extract, max_demand: 100)
None
Example 7 - Flow select() |> Flow.from_enumerable(max_demand: 20) |> Flow.partition(max_demand:
20, stages: 5) |> Flow.map(&download/1) |> Flow.partition(max_demand: 20, stages: 2) |> Flow.map(&extract/1) |> Flow.partition(window: Flow.Window.count(50), stages: 1) |> Flow.reduce(fn -> [] end, fn item, list -> [item | list] end) |> Flow.emit(:state) |> Flow.partition(stages: 2) |> Flow.map(&index/1) |> Flow.run()
Example 7 - Flow
