Description: Sequential, distributed, POSIX-style job queue processing
Filespooler is a Unix-style tool that facilitates local or remote command
execution, complete with stdin capture, with easy integration with various
tools. Here's a brief Filespooler feature list:
.
- It can easily use tools such as S3, Dropbox, Syncthing, NNCP, ssh, UUCP, USB
drives, CDs, etc. as transport.
.
- Translation: you can use basically anything that is a filesystem as a
transport
.
- It can use arbitrary decoder command pipelines (eg, zcat, stdcat, gpg, age,
etc) to pre-process stored packets.
.
- It can send and receive packets by pipes.
.
- Its storage format is simple on-disk files with locking.
.
- It supports one-to-one and one-to-many configurations.
.
- Locking is unnecessary when writing new jobs to the queue, and many arbitrary
tools (eg, Syncthing, Dropbox, etc) can safely write directly to the queue
without any assistance.
.
- Queue processing is strictly ordered based on the order on the creation
machine, even if job files are delivered out of order to the destination.
.
- stdin can be piped into the job creation tool, and piped to a later executor
at process time on a remote machine.
.
- The file format is lightweight; less than 100 bytes overhead unless large
extra parameters are given.
.
- The queue format is lightweight; having 1000 different queues on a Raspberry
Pi would be easy.
.
- Processing is stream-based throughout; arbitrarily-large packets are fine and
sizes in the TB range are no problem.
.
- The Filespooler command, fspl, is extremely lightweight, consuming less than
10MB of RAM on x86_64.
.
- Filespooler has extensive documentation.
.
Filespooler consists of a command-line tool (fspl) for interacting with queues.
It also consists of a Rust library that is used by fspl. main.rs for fspl is
just a few lines long.
