Celluloid::Marathon

Package extends Celluloid with actors suitable for running neverending tasks and enables their graceful termination.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'celluloid-marathon'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install celluloid-marathon

Usage

Package provides two classes, Celluloid::Marathon::Actor and Celluloid::Marathon::SupervisionGroup. Actor contains method finish that can be called from outside world to let actor notify about that it should finish the neverending action it is performing right now.

From the actor itself, it can cal finishing? to see if it can continue or work or finish as soon as possible.

This functionality has been created because currently it is not possible to terminate an actor without killing currently running function perfectly.
