That's a reasonable request.

This is more interesting, and hints at the real problem I suspect you're asking about: If the client is currently waiting for a reserve response and has other commands it wants to send, it can't send them immediately. It either has to wait or open another connection. This has come up several times before, and I agree it's a problem. Let's see what it would take to fix. It would actually be quite easy to have beanstalkd abort a waiting reserve command when *any* other command appears on the connection, but I'm afraid that behavior might be confusing. Also, there's no good way to indicate this case in the response of the existing reserve command. (This is a design flaw in the v1.0 beanstalkd protocol. It should have allowed for the possibility of introducing new error codes in the future.) We could work around both of these problems by making a new command that's like reserve, but can be aborted. Would that serve your needs? 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].
