A quick reference cheatsheet for rush. See the tutorial for a detailed introduction.

Worker Loop

library(rush)

worker_loop = function(rush) {
  while (!rush$terminated) {

    xs = list(x = runif(1L))
    key = rush$push_running_tasks(xss = list(xs))

    ys = list(y = sqrt(xs$x))
    rush$finish_tasks(key, yss = list(ys))
  }
}

Rush Manager

config = redux::redis_config()

rush = rsh(network_id = "my_network", config = config)
rush

Push Tasks to Queue

xss = replicate(25, list(x = runif(1L)), simplify = FALSE)

rush$push_tasks(xss = xss)

Pop Task from Queue

Only a RushWorker can pop tasks from the queue.

rush_worker = RushWorker$new("my_network")

task = rush_worker$pop_task()
task
$xs
$xs$x
[1] 0.05592005


$key
[1] "7498e1cc-9e06-47ae-b957-e57fd826d396"
worker_loop = function(rush) {
  repeat {
    task = rush$pop_task()
    if (is.null(task)) break

    ys = list(y = sqrt(task$xs$x))
    rush$finish_tasks(task$key, yss = list(ys))
  }
}

Local Workers

rush$start_local_workers(
  worker_loop = worker_loop,
  n_workers = 2)

Script Workers

script = rush$worker_script(worker_loop = worker_loop)
cat(script)
Rscript -e "rush::start_worker(network_id = 'my_network', config = list(scheme = 'redis', host = '127.0.0.1', port = '6379'))"

Heartbeats

script = rush$worker_script(
  worker_loop = worker_loop,
  heartbeat_period = 10,
  heartbeat_expire = 30)

Reset Network

rush$reset()

Handling R Errors

worker_loop = function(rush) {
  while (!rush$terminated) {

    xs = list(x = runif(1))
    key = rush$push_running_tasks(xss = list(xs))

    tryCatch({
      ys = list(y = some_function(xs$x))
      rush$finish_tasks(key, yss = list(ys))
    }, error = function(e) {
      rush$fail_tasks(key, conditions = list(list(message = e$message)))
    })
  }
}

Detecting Lost Workers

rush$detect_lost_workers()

Logging

worker_loop = function(rush) {
  lg = lgr::get_logger("mlr3/rush")
  lg$info("Worker %s started on %s", rush$worker_id, rush$hostname)
}

rush$start_workers(
  worker_loop = worker_loop,
  n_workers = 2,
  lgr_thresholds = c(rush = "info"))
rush$print_log()

Debugging

rush_worker = RushWorker$new("test-network")

worker_loop(rush_worker)
mirai::daemons(1L)

worker_ids = rush$start_workers(
  worker_loop = worker_loop,
  n_workers = 1,
  message_log = "message",
  output_log = "output")

Rush Plan

rush_plan(
  n_workers = 4,
  config = redux::redis_config(),
  worker_type = "mirai")
