queue-slayer

A micro pattern for thread-parallelized processing of messages off of a queue.

Usage

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {

    compile 'com.blacklocus.queue-slayer:qs-core:0.5.1'

    // for AWS SQS message providers
    compile 'com.blacklocus.queue-slayer:qs-aws:0.5.1'
}

other dependency syntax on mvnrepository.com

A quick look:

// Reads in work items
MessageProvider provider = ...;

// Processes work items
MessageHandler handler = ...;

// Provides worker threads which process work items through the MessageHandler logic.
ExecutorService executor = ...;

// The orchestration of these components together.
MessageQueueReader reader = new MessageQueueReader(provider, handler, executor);

// The current thread will read in the items through the MessageProvider
// and pass them to the threads running the work items through the MessageHandler
// logic. The worker threads themselves are provided by the ExecutorService.
reader.run();
