Re: beanstemc.reserve(60) works but beantstemc.reserve() doesnt work as expected

I'm not familiar with the java client but normally reserve (with no timeout) is a blocking call that waits for a job until one comes.

im using beanstalk on production.holdin our message status queues

when i reach the queye via beanstemc.reserve(60) , it either gives me a job or throws an exception after waiting 

but when i use beanstemc.reserve() , i wait for 10-15 minutes and nothing happens. In the javadoc , it says that it "immediately" either gives me a job or gives me an exception. 

What could cause the problem ?

A quick glance at the javadoc for that project seems to suggest
you should use beanstemc.reserve(0) if you want it not to block.

[homer kommrad]

public Job reserve() throws IOException, BeanstemcException {
		return reserve(0);
	}

this is the function thats shown at https://github.com/safl/beanstemc/blob/master/src/dk/safl/beanstemc/Beanstemc.java

so when i call reserve , it means i call reserve(0)

Then it appears the client's javadoc is wrong. Indeed,
https://github.com/safl/beanstemc/blob/master/src/dk/safl/beanstemc/Beanstemc.java#L338-342
shows that a timeout of 0 uses the reserve command,
which never times out. There doesn't seem to be any
way to get beanstemc to send reserve-with-timeout 0.

well , i was already suspecting there is something spooky here. 

for a solution , i just use reserve(1) and that does the job for me now :)
