Hiatus

This gem will allow you to use Redis to pause and check for paused status of things.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'hiatus'

And then install with Bundler:

bundle install

Or install it globally:

gem install hiatus

Usage

Initialization / Dependency

You must have the thread-safe Redis.current set up

Extending an existing model

class YeOldeBlob
  extend Hiatus::Pausable

  def self.process_everything
    return if paused?
    ...
  end
end

rake stop_blobs do
  YeOldeBlob.pause
end

Pausing processes by name

rake read_only_maintenance_mode do
  Hiatus.pause([:blobs, :jobs, :screaming_sobs], 2000)
end

class BlobProcessor
  def process
    return if Hiatus.paused?(:blobs)
    ...
  end
end
