DelayQueue is a message queue supporting delayed/scheduled delivery based on redis. It is designed to be reliable, scalable and easy to get started.
Core Advantages:
- Guaranteed at least once consumption
- Auto retry failed messages
- Works out of the box, Config Nothing and Deploy Nothing, A Redis is all you need.
- Natively adapted to the distributed environment, messages processed concurrently on multiple machines . Workers can be added, removed or migrated at any time
- Support Redis Cluster or clusters of most cloud service providers. see chapter Cluster
- Easy to use monitoring data exporter, see Monitoring
DelayQueue requires a Go version with modules support. Run following command line in your project with go.mod:
go get github.com/hdt3213/delayqueue
package main
import (
"github.com/redis/go-redis/v9"
"github.com/hdt3213/delayqueue"
"strconv"
"time"
)
func main() {
redisCli := redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{
Addr: "127.0.0.1:6379",
})
queue := delayqueue.NewQueue("example", redisCli, func(payload string) bool {
// callback returns true to confirm successful consumption.
// If callback returns false or not return within maxConsumeDuration, DelayQueue will re-deliver this message
return true
}).WithConcurrent(4) // set the number of concurrent consumers
// send delay message
for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
err := queue.SendDelayMsg(strconv.Itoa(i), time.Hour, delayqueue.WithRetryCount(3))
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}
// send schedule message
for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
err := queue.SendScheduleMsg(strconv.Itoa(i), time.Now().Add(time.Hour))
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}
// start consume
done := queue.StartConsume()
<-done
}if you are using github.com/go-redis/redis/v8 please use
go get github.com/hdt3213/delayqueue@v8
If you are using redis client other than go-redis, you could wrap your redis client into RedisCli interface
If you don't want to set the callback during initialization, you can use func
WithCallback.
By default, delayqueue instances can be both producers and consumers.
If your program only need producers and consumers are placed elsewhere, delayqueue.NewPublisher is a good option for you.
func consumer() {
queue := NewQueue("test", redisCli, cb)
queue.StartConsume()
}
func producer() {
publisher := NewPublisher("test", redisCli)
publisher.SendDelayMsg(strconv.Itoa(i), 0)
}func (q *DelayQueue)WithCallback(callback CallbackFunc) *DelayQueueWithCallback set callback for queue to receives and consumes messages callback returns true to confirm successfully consumed, false to re-deliver this message.
If there is no callback set, StartConsume will panic
queue := NewQueue("test", redisCli)
queue.WithCallback(func(payload string) bool {
return true
})func (q *DelayQueue)WithLogger(logger *log.Logger) *DelayQueueWithLogger customizes logger for queue
func (q *DelayQueue)WithConcurrent(c uint) *DelayQueueWithConcurrent sets the number of concurrent consumers
func (q *DelayQueue)WithFetchInterval(d time.Duration) *DelayQueueWithFetchInterval customizes the interval at which consumer fetch message from redis
func (q *DelayQueue)WithMaxConsumeDuration(d time.Duration) *DelayQueueWithMaxConsumeDuration customizes max consume duration
If no acknowledge received within WithMaxConsumeDuration after message delivery, DelayQueue will try to deliver this message again
func (q *DelayQueue)WithFetchLimit(limit uint) *DelayQueueWithFetchLimit limits the max number of unack (processing) messages
UseHashTagKey()UseHashTagKey add hashtags to redis keys to ensure all keys of this queue are allocated in the same hash slot.
If you are using Codis/AliyunRedisCluster/TencentCloudRedisCluster, you should add this option to NewQueue: NewQueue("test", redisCli, cb, UseHashTagKey()). This Option cannot be changed after DelayQueue has been created.
WARNING! CHANGING(add or remove) this option will cause DelayQueue failing to read existed data in redis
see more: https://redis.io/docs/reference/cluster-spec/#hash-tags
WithDefaultRetryCount(count uint) *DelayQueueWithDefaultRetryCount customizes the max number of retry, it effects of messages in this queue
use WithRetryCount during DelayQueue.SendScheduleMsg or DelayQueue.SendDelayMsg to specific retry count of particular message
We provides Monitor to monitor the running status.
monitor := delayqueue.NewMonitor("example", redisCli)Monitor.ListenEvent can register a listener that can receive all internal events, so you can use it to implement customized data reporting and metrics.
The monitor can receive events from all workers, even if they are running on another server.
type EventListener interface {
OnEvent(*Event)
}
// returns: close function, error
func (m *Monitor) ListenEvent(listener EventListener) (func(), error) The definition of event could be found in events.go.
Besides, We provide a demo that uses EventListener to monitor the production and consumption amount per minute.
The complete demo code can be found in example/monitor.
type MyProfiler struct {
List []*Metrics
Start int64
}
func (p *MyProfiler) OnEvent(event *delayqueue.Event) {
sinceUptime := event.Timestamp - p.Start
upMinutes := sinceUptime / 60
if len(p.List) <= int(upMinutes) {
p.List = append(p.List, &Metrics{})
}
current := p.List[upMinutes]
switch event.Code {
case delayqueue.NewMessageEvent:
current.ProduceCount += event.MsgCount
case delayqueue.DeliveredEvent:
current.DeliverCount += event.MsgCount
case delayqueue.AckEvent:
current.ConsumeCount += event.MsgCount
case delayqueue.RetryEvent:
current.RetryCount += event.MsgCount
case delayqueue.FinalFailedEvent:
current.FailCount += event.MsgCount
}
}
func main() {
queue := delayqueue.NewQueue("example", redisCli, func(payload string) bool {
return true
})
start := time.Now()
// IMPORTANT: EnableReport must be called so monitor can do its work
queue.EnableReport()
// setup monitor
monitor := delayqueue.NewMonitor("example", redisCli)
listener := &MyProfiler{
Start: start.Unix(),
}
monitor.ListenEvent(listener)
// print metrics every minute
tick := time.Tick(time.Minute)
go func() {
for range tick {
minutes := len(listener.List)-1
fmt.Printf("%d: %#v", minutes, listener.List[minutes])
}
}()
}Monitor use redis pub/sub to collect data, so it is important to call DelayQueue.EnableReport of all workers, to enable events reporting for monitor.
If you do not want to use redis pub/sub, you can use DelayQueue.ListenEvent to collect data yourself.
Please be advised, DelayQueue.ListenEvent can only receive events from the current instance, while monitor can receive events from all instances in the queue.
Once DelayQueue.ListenEvent is called, the monitor's listener will be overwritten unless EnableReport is called again to re-enable the monitor.
You could get Pending Count, Ready Count and Processing Count from the monitor:
func (m *Monitor) GetPendingCount() (int64, error) GetPendingCount returns the number of which delivery time has not arrived.
func (m *Monitor) GetReadyCount() (int64, error)GetReadyCount returns the number of messages which have arrived delivery time but but have not been delivered yet
func (m *Monitor) GetProcessingCount() (int64, error)GetProcessingCount returns the number of messages which are being processed
If you are using Redis Cluster, please use NewQueueOnCluster
redisCli := redis.NewClusterClient(&redis.ClusterOptions{
Addrs: []string{
"127.0.0.1:7000",
"127.0.0.1:7001",
"127.0.0.1:7002",
},
})
callback := func(s string) bool {
return true
}
queue := NewQueueOnCluster("test", redisCli, callback)If you are using transparent clusters, such as codis, twemproxy, or the redis of cluster architecture on aliyun, tencentcloud,
just use NewQueue and enable hash tag
redisCli := redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{
Addr: "127.0.0.1:6379",
})
callback := func(s string) bool {
return true
}
queue := delayqueue.NewQueue("example", redisCli, callback, UseHashTagKey())Here is the complete flowchart:
- pending: A sorted set of messages pending for delivery.
memberis message id,scoreis delivery unix timestamp. - ready: A list of messages ready to deliver. Workers fetch messages from here.
- unack: A sorted set of messages waiting for ack (successfully consumed confirmation) which means the messages here is being processing.
memberis message id,scoreis the unix timestamp of processing deadline. - retry: A list of messages which processing exceeded deadline and waits for retry
- garbage: A list of messages reaching max retry count and waits for cleaning
