Sidekiq / Resque compatibility?

Open pzingg opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

I have been reading about the usefulness of queueing systems to create bridges between different platforms (in addition to their other benefits). Wondering if the rrqueue implmentation is compatible (or could be made compatible with the conventions of two other Redis-backed queueing libraries that originated in the Ruby world: Resque and Sidekiq.

If rrqueue was compatible, it opens the possibility of enqueueing R workers from other languages, such as Ruby and Elixir, that support Sidekiq and Rescue queues and have nice UI libraries for monitoring them over HTTP.

See these links:

  • https://github.com/resque/resque/wiki/Alternate-Implementations
  • https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/wiki/Job-Format

Guess I can dig into your source code and figure this out, but wondering whether it was considered as part of the design (compatibility with Resque or Sidekiq is not mentioned on the README).
