Detailed Description

A queue of Routing_Slips waiting to be persisted.

The Routing_Slip_Queue keeps a queue of Routing_Slips waiting to be written to persistent storage. The "allowed" parameter determines how many Routing_Slips can be handled simultaneously by the persistent storage. Until this threshold is reached, Routing_Slips are not held in the queue, but pass straight through.

Once the allowe number of Routing_Slips are being handled, any additional requests are held in the queue until persistence is complete for another Routing_Slips.

Having Routing_Slips waiting in the queue is "a good thing" [TM] because it allows delivery completions to be applied to the routing slip before it is written -- thereby reducing or completely eliminating the number of actual writes to persistent storage.

Experimentation indicates that a good value for "allowed" is 1.

Allowed == 0 is treated as a special case meaning pass all Routing_Slips through the queue immediately. Setting it a good way to test how well your storage device withstands continuous beating.

Member Function Documentation

void TAO_Notify::Routing_Slip_Queue::add ( const Routing_Slip_Ptr routing_slip  ) 

Add a routing slip to the tail of the queue and dispatch if necessary.

void TAO_Notify::Routing_Slip_Queue::complete (  ) 

A call back to indicate that processing is complete for a previously-queued Routing_Slip.
