Gearman-Go
==========

This module is a [Gearman](http://gearman.org/) API for the [Go Programming Language](http://golang.org).
The protocols were written in pure Go. It contains two sub-packages:

The client package is used for sending jobs to the Gearman job server,
and getting responses from the server.

	"github.com/mikespook/gearman-go/client"

The worker package will help developers in developing Gearman worker
service easily.

Install
=======

Install the client package:

> $ go get github.com/mikespook/gearman-go/client
	
Install the worker package:

> $ go get github.com/mikespook/gearman-go/worker

Both of them:

> $ go get github.com/mikespook/gearman-go

Usage
=====

## Worker

	// Limit number of concurrent jobs execution. Use worker.Unlimited (0) if you want no limitation.
    w := worker.New(worker.OneByOne)
    w.ErrHandler = func(e error) {
        log.Println(e)
    }
    w.AddServer("127.0.0.1:4730")
    // Use worker.Unlimited (0) if you want no timeout
    w.AddFunc("ToUpper", ToUpper, worker.Unlimited)
	// This will give a timeout of 5 seconds
    w.AddFunc("ToUpperTimeOut5", ToUpper, 5)
	if err := w.Ready(); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
		return
	}
	go w.Work()
	

## Client

	// ...
	c, err := client.New("tcp4", "127.0.0.1:4730")
    // ... error handling
	defer c.Close()
	c.ErrorHandler = func(e error) {
        log.Println(e)
    }
    echo := []byte("Hello\x00 world")
	echomsg, err := c.Echo(echo)
	// ... error handling
    log.Println(string(echomsg))
    jobHandler := func(job *client.Job) {
        log.Printf("%s", job.Data)
    }
    handle, err := c.Do("ToUpper", echo, client.JOB_NORMAL, jobHandler)
	// ...
