Gearman Java Implementation

Test

An implementation of the gearman protocol server, client, and worker in Java. Features include:

• Pluggable persistent storage mechanism currently supporting:
  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis
  • Memory-only
• Web-based UI dashboard
• Metrics using java metrics
• Multi-threaded server using Netty for high-performance network I/O
• High-performance - on a single m3.2xlarge EC2 instance with 8 on-box Ruby clients it has achieved over 11,000 jobs per second with in-memory storage

Getting Started

Quick start:

1. Download the latest pre-built SNAPSHOT release from the Sonatype snapshots repository
2. Run java -jar gearman-server-VERSION.jar
3. This will default to port 4730 and memory-only persistence, with snapshotting and the web interface listening on port 8080

If you want to use more advanced features, see the example config.yml files in the gearman-server sub-project

Web Interface

Some of the issues that I've run into in the past have been related to visibility into job queues. To address this, I've added a web management console that lets you see the state of the system. For small installations this is a nice option because it doesn't require you to setup or have any external monitoring systems. Some screenshots here:
