如果我编写一个调用其他芹菜任务的芹菜任务,我是否可以在不等待下游任务完成的情况下释放父任务/工作人员?
情况: 我正在使用API返回一些数据和下一个API调用的参数。我想将API背后的所有数据放入数据库中。我目前的方法是查询API以使批处理工作,启动一些下游处理器,然后递归地重新调用API +处理链。我担心当工人不关心他们孩子的结果时,这会锁定等待所有递归API调用的工人。
伪代码:
@task
def apiPing(start=None):
""" Returns a dict of 5 elements, starting at the *start* element, or the
beginning of the list if start is not specified. Also present in the dict is 'remaining',
indicating how many elements are left in the API's list"""
return json.loads(api(start))
@task
def processList(data)
""" Takes a result from API ping, starts a task to store each element and a
chain to recall the API and process that."""
for element in data:
store(element).delay()
if data['remaining']!=0:
chain = chain(apiPing.s(data['last']), processList.s())
chain.delay()
我从here了解到上述情况非常接近;在处理API中的所有数据之前,我不希望锁定处理processList()的工作程序。有没有办法启动下游任务并释放父工作者,或重构上述内容以不锁定工作人员?
测试显示工人实际上是这样锁定的:
from celery import task
from time import sleep
@task
def parent():
print "In parent"
child.apply_async()
print "Out of parent"
@task
def child():
print "In child"
sleep(10)
print "Out of child"
