Resque-timed-round-robin

A plugin for Resque that implements round-robin behavior for workers.

Resque 1.25 is the only requirement.

The standard behavior for Resque workers is to pull a job off a queue, and continue until the queue is empty. Once empty, the worker moves on to the next queue (if available).

This gem changes that behavior and will work a single queue for a specified amount of time (default is 60s) before rotating to a new queue.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'resque-round-robin'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Usage

Nothing special. This gem monkey-patches things so this is automatic.

Set the RESQUE_SLICE_LENGTH environment variable to specify the amount of time (in seconds) to work a single queue before rotating.
