I've been working on Gearman for the upcoming images section here at
Digg and, since we're a pure PHP shop (we're hiring!), I set off to
create a PHP client that I plan on submitting to PEAR. It's based on
the Python library (don't get me started on PHP's lack of a
extendable socket class). Kudos to whomever wrote the Python library;
I liked your style.
At any rate here's the code:
http://bugs.joestump.net/code/Net_Gearman/
And you can install the package by running:
pear install "http://bugs.joestump.net/code/Net_Gearman/
Net_Gearman-0.0.1.tgz"
Things that I'm not currently doing very well and would love input
(or patches!) on:
1.) Does it even work right? I mean, my tests run fine and it appears
to be running things in parallel, but is it solid?
2.) It's not fully unit tested nor documented fully.
3.) I'm not doing a very good job of checking/validating sockets
after they're opened to see if they go away.
4.) I don't do retries in Net_Gearman_Task/Set.
5.) I didn't implement the worker hooks that are ran at various
stages of running a job (the Python library does this). This is a
great way to implement logging listeners and I hope to implement it
at some point.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Outright flames?
