Struct tokio::timer::DelayQueue

pub struct DelayQueue<T> { /* private fields */ }

A queue of delayed elements.

Once an element is inserted into the DelayQueue, it is yielded once the specified deadline has been reached.

Usage

Elements are inserted into DelayQueue using the insert or insert_at methods. A deadline is provided with the item and a Key is returned. The key is used to remove the entry or to change the deadline at which it should be yielded back.

Once delays have been configured, the DelayQueue is used via its Stream implementation. poll is called. If an entry has reached its deadline, it is returned. If not, Async::NotReady indicating that the current task will be notified once the deadline has been reached.

Stream implementation

Items are retrieved from the queue via Stream::poll. If no delays have expired, no items are returned. In this case, NotReady is returned and the current task is registered to be notified once the next item’s delay has expired.

If no items are in the queue, i.e. is_empty() returns true, then poll returns Ready(None). This indicates that the stream has reached an end. However, if a new item is inserted after, poll will once again start returning items or `NotReady.

Items are returned ordered by their expirations. Items that are configured to expire first will be returned first. There are no ordering guarantees for items configured to expire the same instant. Also note that delays are rounded to the closest millisecond.

Implementation

The DelayQueue is backed by the same hashed timing wheel implementation as Timer as such, it offers the same performance benefits. See Timer for further implementation notes.

State associated with each entry is stored in a slab. This allows amortizing the cost of allocation. Space created for expired entries is reused when inserting new entries.

Capacity can be checked using capacity and allocated preemptively by using the reserve method.

Usage

Using DelayQueue to manage cache entries.

Implementations

impl<T> DelayQueue<T>

pub fn new() -> DelayQueue<T>

Create a new, empty, DelayQueue

The queue will not allocate storage until items are inserted into it.

Examples

let delay_queue: DelayQueue<u32> = DelayQueue::new();

pub fn with_capacity_and_handle(
    capacity: usize,
    handle: &Handle
) -> DelayQueue<T>

Create a new, empty, DelayQueue backed by the specified timer.

The queue will not allocate storage until items are inserted into it.

Examples

use tokio_timer::timer::Handle;

let handle = Handle::default();
let delay_queue: DelayQueue<u32> = DelayQueue::with_capacity_and_handle(0, &handle);

pub fn with_capacity(capacity: usize) -> DelayQueue<T>

Create a new, empty, DelayQueue with the specified capacity.

The queue will be able to hold at least capacity elements without reallocating. If capacity is 0, the queue will not allocate for storage.

Examples

let mut delay_queue = DelayQueue::with_capacity(10);

// These insertions are done without further allocation
for i in 0..10 {
    delay_queue.insert(i, Duration::from_secs(i));
}

// This will make the queue allocate additional storage
delay_queue.insert(11, Duration::from_secs(11));

pub fn insert_at(&mut self, value: T, when: Instant) -> Key

Insert value into the queue set to expire at a specific instant in time.

This function is identical to insert, but takes an Instant instead of a Duration.

value is stored in the queue until when is reached. At which point, value will be returned from poll. If when has already been reached, then value is immediately made available to poll.

The return value represents the insertion and is used at an argument to remove and reset. Note that Key is token and is reused once value is removed from the queue either by calling poll after when is reached or by calling remove. At this point, the caller must take care to not use the returned Key again as it may reference a different item in the queue.

See type level documentation for more details.

Panics

This function panics if when is too far in the future.

Examples

Basic usage

use tokio::timer::DelayQueue;
use std::time::{Instant, Duration};

let mut delay_queue = DelayQueue::new();
let key = delay_queue.insert_at(
    "foo", Instant::now() + Duration::from_secs(5));

// Remove the entry
let item = delay_queue.remove(&key);
assert_eq!(*item.get_ref(), "foo");

pub fn insert(&mut self, value: T, timeout: Duration) -> Key

Insert value into the queue set to expire after the requested duration elapses.

This function is identical to insert_at, but takes a Duration instead of an Instant.

value is stored in the queue until when is reached. At which point, value will be returned from poll. If when has already been reached, then value is immediately made available to poll.

The return value represents the insertion and is used at an argument to remove and reset. Note that Key is token and is reused once value is removed from the queue either by calling poll after when is reached or by calling remove. At this point, the caller must take care to not use the returned Key again as it may reference a different item in the queue.

See type level documentation for more details.

Panics

This function panics if timeout is greater than the maximum supported duration.

Examples

Basic usage

use tokio::timer::DelayQueue;
use std::time::Duration;

let mut delay_queue = DelayQueue::new();
let key = delay_queue.insert("foo", Duration::from_secs(5));

// Remove the entry
let item = delay_queue.remove(&key);
assert_eq!(*item.get_ref(), "foo");

pub fn remove(&mut self, key: &Key) -> Expired<T>

Remove the item associated with key from the queue.

There must be an item associated with key. The function returns the removed item as well as the Instant at which it will the delay will have expired.

Panics

The function panics if key is not contained by the queue.

Examples

Basic usage

use tokio::timer::DelayQueue;
use std::time::Duration;

let mut delay_queue = DelayQueue::new();
let key = delay_queue.insert("foo", Duration::from_secs(5));

// Remove the entry
let item = delay_queue.remove(&key);
assert_eq!(*item.get_ref(), "foo");

pub fn reset_at(&mut self, key: &Key, when: Instant)

Sets the delay of the item associated with key to expire at when.

This function is identical to reset but takes an Instant instead of a Duration.

The item remains in the queue but the delay is set to expire at when. If when is in the past, then the item is immediately made available to the caller.

Panics

This function panics if when is too far in the future or if key is not contained by the queue.

Examples

Basic usage

use tokio::timer::DelayQueue;
use std::time::{Duration, Instant};

let mut delay_queue = DelayQueue::new();
let key = delay_queue.insert("foo", Duration::from_secs(5));

// "foo" is scheduled to be returned in 5 seconds

delay_queue.reset_at(&key, Instant::now() + Duration::from_secs(10));

// "foo"is now scheduled to be returned in 10 seconds

pub fn reset(&mut self, key: &Key, timeout: Duration)

Sets the delay of the item associated with key to expire after timeout.

This function is identical to reset_at but takes a Duration instead of an Instant.

The item remains in the queue but the delay is set to expire after timeout. If timeout is zero, then the item is immediately made available to the caller.

Panics

This function panics if timeout is greater than the maximum supported duration or if key is not contained by the queue.

Examples

Basic usage

use tokio::timer::DelayQueue;
use std::time::Duration;

let mut delay_queue = DelayQueue::new();
let key = delay_queue.insert("foo", Duration::from_secs(5));

// "foo" is scheduled to be returned in 5 seconds

delay_queue.reset(&key, Duration::from_secs(10));

// "foo"is now scheduled to be returned in 10 seconds

pub fn clear(&mut self)

Clears the queue, removing all items.

After calling clear, poll will return Ok(Ready(None)).

Note that this method has no effect on the allocated capacity.

Examples

use tokio::timer::DelayQueue;
use std::time::Duration;

let mut delay_queue = DelayQueue::new();

delay_queue.insert("foo", Duration::from_secs(5));

assert!(!delay_queue.is_empty());

delay_queue.clear();

assert!(delay_queue.is_empty());

pub fn capacity(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of elements the queue can hold without reallocating.

Examples

let delay_queue: DelayQueue<i32> = DelayQueue::with_capacity(10);
assert_eq!(delay_queue.capacity(), 10);

pub fn reserve(&mut self, additional: usize)

Reserve capacity for at least additional more items to be queued without allocating.

reserve does nothing if the queue already has sufficient capacity for additional more values. If more capacity is required, a new segment of memory will be allocated and all existing values will be copied into it. As such, if the queue is already very large, a call to reserve can end up being expensive.

The queue may reserve more than additional extra space in order to avoid frequent reallocations.

Panics

Panics if the new capacity exceeds the maximum number of entries the queue can contain.

Examples

let mut delay_queue = DelayQueue::new();
delay_queue.insert("hello", Duration::from_secs(10));
delay_queue.reserve(10);
assert!(delay_queue.capacity() >= 11);

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true if there are no items in the queue.

Note that this function returns false even if all items have not yet expired and a call to poll will return NotReady.

Examples

use std::time::Duration;
let mut delay_queue = DelayQueue::new();
assert!(delay_queue.is_empty());

delay_queue.insert("hello", Duration::from_secs(5));
assert!(!delay_queue.is_empty());
