Backport ExclusiveLease to 8.5

parent 11f388aa
# This is a quick hack to get ExclusiveLease working in GitLab 8.5
module Gitlab
REDIS_URL = begin
redis_config_file = Rails.root.join('config/resque.yml')
if File.exists?(redis_config_file)
YAML.load_file(redis_config_file)[Rails.env]
else
'redis://localhost:6379'
end
end
end
module Gitlab
# This class implements an 'exclusive lease'. We call it a 'lease'
# because it has a set expiry time. We call it 'exclusive' because only
# one caller may obtain a lease for a given key at a time. The
# implementation is intended to work across GitLab processes and across
# servers. It is a 'cheap' alternative to using SQL queries and updates:
# you do not need to change the SQL schema to start using
# ExclusiveLease.
#
# It is important to choose the timeout wisely. If the timeout is very
# high (1 hour) then the throughput of your operation gets very low (at
# most once an hour). If the timeout is lower than how long your
# operation may take then you cannot count on exclusivity. For example,
# if the timeout is 10 seconds and you do an operation which may take 20
# seconds then two overlapping operations may hold a lease for the same
# key at the same time.
#
class ExclusiveLease
def initialize(key, timeout:)
@key, @timeout = key, timeout
end
# Try to obtain the lease. Return true on success,
# false if the lease is already taken.
def try_obtain
# Performing a single SET is atomic
!!redis.set(redis_key, '1', nx: true, ex: @timeout)
end

def redis
# Maybe someday we want to use a connection pool...
@redis ||= Redis.new(url: Gitlab::REDIS_URL)
