7.3.64. thread_limit

7.3.64.1. Summary

New in version 5.0.7.

thread_limit has the following two features:

  • It returns the max number of threads.
  • It sets the max number of threads.

groonga executable file is the only Groonga server that supports full thread_limit features.

groonga-httpd supports only one feature that returns the max number of threads. The max number of threads of groonga-httpd always returns 1 because groonga-httpd uses single thread model.

If you're using Groonga as a library, thread_limit doesn't work without you set custom functions by grn_thread_set_get_limit_func() and grn_thread_set_set_limit_func(). If you set a function by grn_thread_set_get_limit_func(), the feature that returns the max number of threads works. If you set a function by grn_thread_set_set_limit_func(), the feature that sets the max number of threads works.

7.3.64.2. Syntax

This command takes only one optional parameter:

thread_limit [max=null]

7.3.64.3. Usage

You can get the max number of threads by calling without any parameters:

Execution example:

thread_limit
# [[0, 1337566253.89858, 0.000355720520019531], 2]

If it returns 0, your Groonga server doesn't support the feature.

You can set the max number of threads by calling max parameter:

Execution example:

thread_limit --max 4
# [[0, 1337566253.89858, 0.000355720520019531], 2]

It returns the previous max number of threads when you pass max parameter.

7.3.64.4. Parameters

This section describes all parameters.

7.3.64.4.1. Required parameters

There is no required parameter.

7.3.64.4.2. Optional parameters

There is one optional parameter.

7.3.64.4.2.1. max

Specifies the new max number of threads.

You must specify positive integer:

Execution example:

thread_limit --max 3
# [[0, 1337566253.89858, 0.000355720520019531], 4]

If you specify max parameter, thread_limit returns the max number of threads before max is applied.

7.3.64.5. Return value

The command returns the max number of threads as body:

[HEADER, N_MAX_THREADS]

If max is specified, N_MAX_THREADS is the max number of threads before max is applied.

See Output format for HEADER.
