class Rinda::TupleSpace

The Tuplespace manages access to the tuples it contains, ensuring mutual exclusion requirements are met.

The sec option for the write, take, move, read and notify methods may either be a number of seconds or a Renewer object.

Public Class Methods

new (period=60)

Source

# File bundled-src/rinda-0.2.0/lib/rinda/tuplespace.rb, line 437
def initialize(period=60)
  super()
  @bag = TupleBag.new
  @read_waiter = TupleBag.new
  @take_waiter = TupleBag.new
  @notify_waiter = TupleBag.new
  @period = period
  @keeper = nil
end

Creates a new TupleSpace. period is used to control how often to look for dead tuples after modifications to the TupleSpace.

If no dead tuples are found period seconds after the last modification, the TupleSpace will stop looking for dead tuples.

Calls superclass method MonitorMixin::new

move (port, tuple, sec=nil) { |template| ... }

        end
        template.wait
      end
    ensure
      @take_waiter.delete(template)
    end
  end
end

Moves tuple to port.

notify (event, tuple, sec=nil)

Source

# File bundled-src/rinda-0.2.0/lib/rinda/tuplespace.rb, line 567
def notify(event, tuple, sec=nil)
  template = NotifyTemplateEntry.new(self, event, tuple, sec)
  synchronize do
    @notify_waiter.push(template)
  end
  template
end

Registers for notifications of event. Returns a NotifyTemplateEntry. See NotifyTemplateEntry for examples of how to listen for notifications.

event can be:

‘write’: A tuple was added
‘take’: A tuple was taken or moved
‘delete’: A tuple was lost after being overwritten or expiring

The TupleSpace will also notify you of the ‘close’ event when the NotifyTemplateEntry has expired.

read (tuple, sec=nil) { |template| ... }

Source

# File bundled-src/rinda-0.2.0/lib/rinda/tuplespace.rb, line 521
def read(tuple, sec=nil)
  template = WaitTemplateEntry.new(self, tuple, sec)
  yield(template) if block_given?
  synchronize do
    entry = @bag.find(template)
    return entry.value if entry
    raise RequestExpiredError if template.expired?

    begin
      @read_waiter.push(template)
      start_keeper if template.expires
      template.wait
      raise RequestCanceledError if template.canceled?
      raise RequestExpiredError if template.expired?
      return template.found
    ensure
      @read_waiter.delete(template)
    end
  end
end

Reads tuple, but does not remove it.

read_all (tuple)

Source

# File bundled-src/rinda-0.2.0/lib/rinda/tuplespace.rb, line 545
def read_all(tuple)
  template = WaitTemplateEntry.new(self, tuple, nil)
  synchronize do
    entry = @bag.find_all(template)
    entry.collect do |e|
      e.value
    end
  end
end

Returns all tuples matching tuple. Does not remove the found tuples.

take (tuple, sec=nil, &block)

Source

# File bundled-src/rinda-0.2.0/lib/rinda/tuplespace.rb, line 477
def take(tuple, sec=nil, &block)

def write(tuple, sec=nil)
  entry = create_entry(tuple, sec)

      @read_waiter.find_all_template(entry).each do |template|
        template.read(tuple)
      end

      notify_event('delete', entry.value)
    else
      @bag.push(entry)
      start_keeper if entry.expires
      @read_waiter.find_all_template(entry).each do |template|
        template.read(tuple)
      end
      @take_waiter.find_all_template(entry).each do |template|
        template.signal
      end
      notify_event('write', entry.value)
