Execution pool with caching and early return

querypool

Execution pool with caching and early return for python.

Query pools let a query run in the background when it doesn't return within a given timeout. In that case the result of the previous query is returned or raised. If there is no result, the default value is returned.

import requests
from querypool.pools import CooperativeQueryPool

pool = CooperativeQueryPool(timeout=0.001)
url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/photos"

# Returns None because the query times out.
response = pool.execute(requests.get, args=(url,), default=None)
assert response is None

# Increase the timeout to let the query finish.
# The same function with the same arguments is still running so
# all this does is wait for the result of the previous call.
response = pool.execute(requests.get, args=(url,), default=None, timeout=3)
response.raise_for_status()

# Returns the previous result because the query times out.
response = pool.execute(requests.get, args=(url,), default=None)
response.raise_for_status()
