Default behavior

If clients of whoas library don’t have any whoas configuration, the whoas factory will create InMemoryQueue that is a simple in memory FIFO with non blocking push and blocking pop operations and SequentialHookRunner that has run loop around queue pop and publishes the hook requests.

Library Configuration

The clients of whoas library can add "whoas" configuration to build queue and runner of their choice. See the example below

  • queue: configure type and queue specific parameters

    • type: full classname for the queue class defined in whoas (e.g. com.github.lookout.whoas.InMemoryQueue)

    • key: key of the list data type (currently applies to redis)

    • hostname: hostname of the distributed queue server (currently applies to redis)

    • port: port of the distributed queue server (currently applies to redis)

  • runnerType: full classname for the runner class defined in whoas

whoas:
  queue:
    type: "com.github.lookout.whoas.RedisQueue"
    key: "queue"
    hostname: "localhost"
    port: 6379
  runnerType: "com.github.lookout.whoas.SequentialHookRunner"
