kue-sweeper v0.1.1

kue-sweeper

a simple nodejs service to avoid memory leaking when use kue to process millions of jobs by removing kue job immediately upon its completion

Why need this module:

kue is a handy redis-backed job processing module. But when using kue for processing millions of jobs, we have met following circumstances incuring memory leaking.

• job related search sets remain in redis after job got removed
• Job handling service crash causes job pilling in redis

So I wrote this little tool to run as a standalone service (via forever) which will keep watching kue and remove kue job immediately upon its completion

Install

Install forever tool

npm install forever -g

Install the kue-sweeper

npm install kue-sweeper

Usage

# start kue-sweeper with forever
./forever-start-kue-sweep.sh

Configure

• -p --port , redis service port
• -h, --host VALUE, redis service host
