No intrinsic limits, though I have heard reports of OS problems above 20- or 30,000 connections. We use libevent, which is proven to scale well to many open connections. Beanstalkd itself (outside of libevent) never operates on more than one connection at a time. People often run into the ulimit setting, which imposes an artificial limit on the number of open file descriptors (and, hence, connections) for a process. Try "help ulimit" and look at the "-n" option. As for issuing many commands, again, there is no hard limit. Your hardware will affect how much throughput you can get. Beanstalkd is pretty fast. kr -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "beanstalk-talk" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
