Both Thespian and Pika provide scheduling capabilities, so it can be difficult to combine different frameworks that are attempting to implement the same feature.
I think the best approach here (I haven't done this myself, so this is based on a high-level assessment of Pika) would be to combine the Thespian Watch functionality (https://thespianpy.com/doc/using.html#hH-94edef18-154e-4847-864f-027dff4f6e0a) with the Pika SelectConnector
and a custom Pika poller based on Pika's _PollerBase
(https://github.com/pika/pika/blob/master/pika/adapters/select_connection.py#L579).
At the core, Thespian implements a select()
-style scheduling framework (similar to Pika's SelectPoller at https://github.com/pika/pika/blob/master/pika/adapters/select_connection.py#L930), and it can be provided with an additional set of file descriptors that it will select on; when activity is available on one of those file descriptors, it will deliver a WatchMessage
with those file descriptors.
Roughly this would mean creating a custom Poller
structure that would record all the file descriptors it was supposed to call as Pika calls it. Register that poller for Pika, store it in the Actor's local storage, and then wait for incoming messages. When you get an incoming message that is a file-descriptor managed by the poller, call the _PollerBase._dispatch_fd_events
to handle those events (like https://github.com/pika/pika/blob/master/pika/adapters/select_connection.py#L975). When it calls back to poll, return back to the receiveMessage
processing (perhaps via coroutine yield... depending on how you structure your core flow) that handled the WatchMessage
, which will return a ThespianWatch
with all of the currently registered fd's for the poller. In this way, Thespian provides the select()
call for both Thespian and Pika file descriptors, and the WatchMessage
lets you forward those file descriptors to Pika for handling.
Thanks a lot for in depth clarification. I will try this solution although it seems more complicated than i thougth asking the question ;) Don't you plan any simpler and generic integration between Thespian and frameworks from asynchronous, event loops world? For example new kind of actors managed by event loop instantiated and managed by Thespian itself? That Thespian event loop could be accessible by actor and could then be plugged into frameworks such as Pika (event loop based frameworks/tools usually have ability to plug into them an external event loop instance). In that way we could have one event loop allowing cooperative progress for both worlds: Thespian and tools like Pika
To some extent, Thespian and an event bus exist in the same solution space, so the overlap can be a bit hard to resolve. Thespian is written to allow multiple transport layers to be created however, so ideally a message bus transport layer could use RabbitMQ as the communications layer between Thespian Actors.
At present, I don't know of a lot of interest in a solution like this other than yours, so I'm hesitant to commit much time and effort to implementing this approach.
If such integration existed, I would probably use it. This certainly doesn't qualify as 'a lot of interest', but two is certainly better than one!
Thespian looks very promising for what I need. Great work!
I'd like to use this issue to gather more input on the usage model (and interest level) for using Thespian and RabbitMQ together. My assumption would be that there is an existing RabbitMQ network with clients and that a particular client would also wish to use Thespian to implement its functionality like below:
Thespian Actor
RabbitMQ Bus /
------------------------------> Client ------------ Thespian Actor
\
Thespian Actor
In this configuration, the "Client" would be capable of talking to both the RabbitMQ bus to send and receive messages there, as well as to Thespian Actors to send and receive messages on that side as well. The "Client" would be the primary interface between the two otherwise independent environments.
Please let me know if the above represents the usage model needed or if there is other functionality or considerations that would need to be addressed.
To anyone else desiring this functionality: please up-vote this issue so that I can determine how much interest there is in having this implemented.
That´s exactly it!
Thanks!

That model is exactly what we need
I think the best approach here (I haven't done this myself, so this is based on a high-level assessment of Pika) would be to combine the Thespian Watch functionality (https://thespianpy.com/doc/using.html#hH-94edef18-154e-4847-864f-027dff4f6e0a) with the Pika SelectConnector and a custom Pika poller based on Pika's _PollerBase
Ok so i have tried to implement this. Unfortunately without a success. There are some major problems with that approach.
Problem number 1:
It only watches for "readable" events, not writable or exception events.
Pika uses all 3 types of events: read, write and error for negotiating a connection and sending and receiving messages. Thespian watch functionality only allows for a partial implementation of this. So we do not have a solution that covers all requirements and fits well to an actor life cycle and design pattern. Write and error events must be implemented somehow differently than read events possibly blocking and breaking the normal and desired nature of an actor processing
Problem number 2:
There is no timeout (use .wakeupAfter() for this).
Pika event loop uses timeouts extensively. And it seems for me that wake up messages do not work well in that case. Let's look at the following code:
self.wakeupAfter(timeout, payload='SelectTimeout')
return ThespianWatch(file_descriptors)
for example:
does this mean that we are leaking resources here? will now thespian still watch for events on both file descriptors: 1 and 2 even if right now pika do not requires observing file descriptor 1?
and another example for the same code: let's say that we want to just quickly check if file descriptor is ready for reading without blocking and waiting. We want to have immediate response. So the timeout variable equals 0:
self.wakeupAfter(0, payload='SelectTimeout')
return ThespianWatch(file_descriptors)
it looks like wake up message will be always delivered first before the watch message. Ok we can just simply use a slightly higher timeout (what makes at the other side an undesired slowdown):
self.wakeupAfter(1, payload='SelectTimeout')
return ThespianWatch(file_descriptors)
but it still looks like overcomplicated solution for something that should be simply implemented directly in thespian api in a such way:
return ThespianWatch(read_fdrs, write_fdrs, error_fdrs, timeout)
Problem number 3: it looks like Thespian watch sometimes gives me a different results than plain python select api
ok so the code:

and this code doesn't work because at several attempts only once was with successful connection to rabbitmq instance (ON_CONNECTION_OPEN). 99% of attempts were unsuccessful So i have started to debugging and playing around with that code and made a following change in SelectPoller that also gave me 100% of successful connections:
def poll(self):

info('try read: ' + str(self._fd_events[PollEvents.READ]))

(PollEvents.READ, PollEvents.WRITE, PollEvents.ERROR)):
for fileno in fd_set:
fd_event_map[fileno] |= evt
self._dispatch_fd_events(fd_event_map)
as you can see i started to use normal python select api for watching for all events (read, write, error) and after that i additionally yield file descriptors to thespian to watch for read events but with timeout 0. I expect that thespian watch should give me the same results as normal python select api (i suppose that pika is blocked in the meantime and nothing is reading from this ready for read file descriptors). And for the most of the time results are indeed the same but not always:

And after all of that one another problem occured. I noticed strange intervals of logging inactivity. It looks like logging regularly freeze for at least 4-5 minutes.

I use thespian==3.10.1
Hi @htarnacki . I just returned from vacation and wanted to let you know I've seen this report. There's a lot here, so I will need a day or so to digest this and be able to respond.
does this mean that we are leaking resources here? will now thespian still watch for events on both file descriptors: 1 and 2 even if right now pika do not requires observing file descriptor 1?
There is no resource leakage on the Thespian side for this. Thespian will only listen on file descriptors returned in the most recent ThespianWatch
response, and any internal resources associated with that are discarded by the time the actor is invoked with the watch results.
but it still looks like overcomplicated solution for something that should be simply implemented directly in thespian api in a such way:
return ThespianWatch(read_fdrs, write_fdrs, error_fdrs, timeout)
I think that might be a potential to extend the ThespianWatch to include write_fdrs
and error_fdrs
. I think the timeout is an orthogonal concern (some users might only be interested in timeouts, not file descriptors) so I would still use the wakeupAfter
to implement that functionality.
I'm somewhat concerned that write and error conditions are local and can be persistent, so it's possible to get into situations where the use of these prevents even normal functionality, but since this is an issue with any use of select
and this is not a mainline use case, it's probably OK to provide this with appropriate usage warnings.
If the ability to wait on write and error conditions still sounds useful, I can see about putting together some initial support for that which could be tested, but let me know if this is still the case after reading some of my other responses on this issue.
I noticed strange intervals of logging inactivity. It looks like logging regularly freeze for at least 4-5 minutes. So i see normal info outputs and suddenly output stops showing for at least 4 minutes. And then a bunch of logs is printed at once to terminal and once again logging stops showing.
I think this is probably providing some useful insight into some of the otherwise invisible functionality going on. First some background though:
In Thespian, there is a flow control mechanism that will cause an actor to suspend incoming activity for a period of time if the number of queued outbound messages exceeds a threshold value. This is intended to let the actor complete the current processing and send out the corresponding results before accepting new work that will result in additional processing demands.
Also, Thespian modifies the logging
facility to forward log messages to the Logger
actor, routing those messages through the MultiProcAdmin
. The reason that all messages are forwarded to a single Logger is because the normal logging facility doesn't provide filesystem-level protections against multiple processes writing to the same logfiles and so only a single process (the Logger) should write to the file to ensure messages aren't lost. The other reason is that in a multi-system Actor convention, some log messages are forwarded to the central actor system for logging there as well as locally. This latter reason is why log messages are forwarded through the MultiProcAdmin, and also for the reason that the MultiProcAdmin is the manager of the Logger actor and could restart a new Logger if the previous Logger dies or exits.
Given this background, I believe the reason that you are seeing the logging delays is because pika is starting up multiple threads and some of those threads are generating (perhaps large amounts of) logging at a low severity level (e.g. Debug
). Those low level messages are not visible in the logs, but they are forwarded from the generating Actor process to the Logger via the MultiProcAdmin; the threshold-based discard is managed by the Logger (since the level can be dynamically changed), so all logging must be forwarded. I believe there is enough generated logging that it is overloading the MultiProcAdmin outbound threshold which is causing it to stop receiving messages; since logging messages continue to accumulate in the sending Actor processes, this creating a large backlog that must be processed when the MultiProcAdmin re-enables input; this cycle may have to be repeated several times before finally processing log messages which are visibly logged.
Based on the behavior, I believe that pika does have other threads running, which could also be affecting the difference in the select
results (since the two select
calls happen at different times and the pika threads could be reading from the sockets in the interim). You've done some very intricate and impressive work in trying to weave the two of these together, but I'm concerned about the level of complication and dependency on internals that is needed to support this.
Since the model we described earlier in this thread is that of a Client
representing the boundary between the pika-supported RabbitMQ message bus on one side and the Actor System Actors on the other side, I'm beginning to think that a somewhat different approach might be simpler and more stable:
Pipe
method to connect those two processes.PikaClient
) created by the ClientActor
connects via pika to the RabbitMQ message bus, and uses standard pika scheduling, extended to support the ability to detect incoming messages on the Pipe and read those messages.PikaClient
is handled natively by Pika; any messages it receives on the Pipe (from the ClientActor
) are forwarded as appropriate to the message bus, and messages received from RabbitMQ can be written to the Pipe to send them to the ClientActor
.ClientActor
simply maintains a ThespianWatch
on the fd for the Pipe
to the PikaClient
; when messages are received from the PikaClient
, they are handled by the actors as needed; actor messages outbound to the RabbitMQ are written to the Pipe
by the ClientActor
.This configuration separates all of the processing scheduling of Thespian and pika into two separate process domains where they don't conflict with each other or need to be tightly integrated. The Pipe
communication should be pretty straightforward for both to interact with. The logging domains are also separate (although you might need to re-initialize logging in the PikaClient
because it might already be set to Actor Logger forwarding, depending on how the multiprocessing sub-process is setup), so the logging delay issues you noted above should go away. Also, in this system, no extensions are needed to the ThespianWatch
functionality (as described in one of my other responses).
Does this ClientActor/PikaClient approach sound reasonable for your needs?
hi, thanks for your answer. Recently i was looking around Thespian documentation and it's features and decided to implement whole system without any RabbitMQ internal communication. I will give a chance to a built in features of Thespian itself. So i will close this issue and open another one where i will bother you with a lot of different questions regarding Thespian and how i use it in my work ;-)
OK @htarnacki , that sounds good. Good luck and let me know if you run into issues.
In my actor based application I want to use Thespian actors along with the Pika integration to RabbitMQ instance. My problem is: what should be the best pattern of such integration? In other words: how to read RabbitMQ messages delivered by Pika to one of a Thespian actor? In a non blocking and best asynchronous way?
