Class DynamicThreadPool<Data, Response>

A thread pool with a dynamic number of threads, but a guaranteed minimum number of threads.

This thread pool creates new threads when the others are busy, up to the maximum number of threads. When the maximum number of threads is reached and workers are busy, an event is emitted. If you want to listen to this event, use the pool's emitter.

Type Parameters

  • Data = unknown

    Type of data sent to the worker. This can only be structured-cloneable data.

  • Response = unknown

    Type of execution response. This can only be structured-cloneable data.

Properties

emitter?: EventEmitterAsyncResource

Pool event emitter integrated with async resource. The async tracking tooling identifier is poolifier:<PoolType>-<WorkerType>-pool.

Events that can currently be listened to:

  • 'ready': Emitted when the number of workers created in the pool has reached the minimum size expected and are ready. If the pool is dynamic with a minimum number of workers is set to zero, this event is emitted when at least one dynamic worker is ready.
  • 'busy': Emitted when the number of workers created in the pool has reached the maximum size expected and are executing concurrently their tasks quota.
  • 'full': Emitted when the pool is dynamic and the number of workers created has reached the maximum size expected.
  • 'empty': Emitted when the pool is dynamic with a minimum number of workers set to zero and the number of workers has reached the minimum size expected.
  • 'destroy': Emitted when the pool is destroyed.
  • 'error': Emitted when an uncaught error occurs.
  • 'taskError': Emitted when an error occurs while executing a task.
  • 'backPressure': Emitted when all worker nodes have back pressure (i.e. their tasks queue is full: queue size >= maximum queue size).
filePath: string

Path to the worker file.

maximumNumberOfWorkers?: number

Maximum number of workers that this pool manages.

minimumNumberOfWorkers: number

Minimum number of workers that this pool manages.

opts: PoolOptions<Worker>

Options for the pool.

promiseResponseMap: Map<`${string}-${string}-${string}-${string}-${string}`, PromiseResponseWrapper<Response>> = ...

The task execution response promise map:

  • key: The message id of each submitted task.
  • value: An object that contains task's worker node key, execution response promise resolve and reject callbacks, async resource.

When we receive a message from the worker, we get a map entry with the promise resolve/reject bound to the message id.

workerChoiceStrategiesContext?: WorkerChoiceStrategiesContext<Worker, Data, Response>

Worker choice strategies context referencing worker choice algorithms implementation.

workerNodes: IWorkerNode<Worker, Data>[] = []

Pool worker nodes.

Accessors

  • get busy(): boolean
  • Whether the pool is busy or not.

    The pool busyness boolean status.

    Returns boolean

  • get full(): boolean
  • Whether the pool is full or not.

    The pool filling boolean status.

    Returns boolean

  • get type(): "fixed" | "dynamic"
  • The pool type.

    If it is 'dynamic', it provides the max property.

    Returns "fixed" | "dynamic"

  • get utilization(): number
  • The approximate pool utilization.

    Returns number

    The pool utilization.

  • get worker(): "thread" | "cluster"
  • The worker type.

    Returns "thread" | "cluster"

Methods

  • Sends a message to worker given its worker node key.

    Parameters

    • workerNodeKey: number

      The worker node key.

    • message: MessageValue<Data, unknown>

      The message.

    • Optional transferList: readonly TransferListItem[]

      The optional array of transferable objects.

    Returns void
