resque-concurrent-restriction
===============

Resque Concurrent Restriction is a plugin for the [Resque][0] queueing system (http://github.com/defunkt/resque). It allows one to specify how many of the given job can run concurrently.

Resque Concurrent Restriction requires Resque 1.10 and redis 2.2

Install
-------

  sudo gem install resque-concurrent-restriction

To use
------

It is especially useful when a system has intensive jobs for which you should only run a few at a time.  What you should do for the IntensiveJob is to make it extend Resque::Plugins::ConcurrentRestriction and specify the concurrent limit (defaults to 1). For example:

    class IntensiveJob
      extend Resque::Plugins::ConcurrentRestriction
      concurrent 4
    
      #rest of your class here
    end

That means the IntensiveJob can not have more than 4 jobs running simultaneously

One can also make the concurrency limit depend on the parameters of a job, for example, if you always pass a user_id as the first param, you can restrict the job to run N concurrent jobs per user:

    class IntensiveJob
      extend Resque::Plugins::ConcurrentRestriction
      concurrent 4

      def self.concurrent_identifier(*args)
        args.first.to_s
      end
    
      #rest of your class here
    end

Author

Code was originally forked from the [resque-restriction][1] plugin (Richard Huang :: [e-mail] :: @flyerhzm), but diverged enough that it warranted being its own plugin to keep the code simple.
