What would be the best way to incorporate something similar to the RabbitMQ channel.waitForConfirmsOrDie() method, while utilizing the Bunny gem for a publish confirmation?
Right now I am using:
if [email protected]_publisher_confirmations?
@channel.confirm_select
end
@channel.default_exchange.publish(args)
was_successful = @channel.wait_for_confirms()
But ideally, for the scenario I need, I would like to have a much shorter timeout on waiting for the confirmations. Right now, it seems as though there is a default timeout of roughly 15 seconds, but that is far too long to block the thread. If I don't receive confirmation within, say, three seconds, what I'd like to have happen is raise an exception/return false.
I saw there was a waitForConfirmsOrDie() in the RabbitMQ documentation, but Bunny does not have this as a method available.
Am I considering rewriting some methods for similar functionality. Has anyone come across something similar and found a good way to implement this?
Don't wait for confirms synchronously. You should use a technique similar to this to keep track of outstanding confirms and handle them.
