Implement a Task Worker
ConductorWorker class is used to implement task workers.
The following script shows how to bring up two task workers named book_flight
and book_car
:
from __future__ import print_function
from conductor.ConductorWorker import ConductorWorker
def book_flight_task(task):
return {'status': 'COMPLETED', 'output': {'booking_ref': 2341111, 'airline': 'delta'}, 'logs': ['trying delta', 'skipping aa']}
def book_car_task(task):
return {'status': 'COMPLETED', 'output': {'booking_ref': "84545fdfd", 'agency': 'hertz'}, 'logs': ['trying hertz']}
def main():
print('Starting Travel Booking workflows')
cc = ConductorWorker('http://localhost:8080/api', 1, 0.1)
cc.start('book_flight', book_flight_task, False)
cc.start('book_car', book_car_task, True)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
ConductorWorker
parameters
server_url: str
The url to the server hosting the conductor api.
Ex: 'http://localhost:8080/api'
thread_count: int
The number of threads that will be polling for and
executing tasks in case of using the start method.
polling_interval: float
The number of seconds that each worker thread will wait
between polls to the conductor server.
worker_id: str, optional
The worker_id of the worker that is going to execute the
task. For further details, refer to the documentation
By default, it is set to hostname of the machine
start
method parameters
taskType: str
The name of the task that the worker is looking to execute
exec_function: function
The function that the worker will execute. The function
must return a dict with the `status`, `output` and `logs`
keys present. If this is not present, an Exception will be
raised
wait: bool
Whether the worker will block execution of further code.
Since the workers are being run in daemon threads, when the
program completes execution, all the threads are destroyed.
Setting wait to True prevents the program from ending.
If multiple workers are being called from the same program,
all but the last start call but have wait set to False.
The last start call must always set wait to True. If a
single worker is being called, set wait to True.
domain: str, optional
The domain of the task under which the worker will run. For
further details refer to the conductor server documentation
By default, it is set to None
