Keep CheckFeed from blocking the queue #38

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
We can do this easily by doing it async. CheckFeed adds a feed-checking task to 
an internal in-memory queue. A sub-thread handles these tasks, and stores 
parsed feeds as in memory object structures. Then it sends a ProcessFeed 
message to the queue, which does the actual processing. Should be trivial to 
implement.

Another consideration is that since CheckFeed takes 1.8 seconds on average we 
can only do 6000 feeds before it takes three hours simply to check them all. So 
beyond 6000 feeds the queue is just going to grow uncontrollably.

It seems that most feeds don't actually have anything new. It may be that by 
keeping a timestamp or URL we can detect this, and get rid of most of the 
overhead from this case.
