Using global thread pools

[Arindam Mukherjee]

I use dataflow to run most of my jobs because they are task graphs. These spawn the global thread-pools which then keep running. From time to time, I fire more of my jobs.

Now there are a lot of other background jobs that I run and I would like to move these from ad hoc Threads, to the global thread pools.

1. Are Concurrent.global_io_executor and Concurrent.global_fast_executor the correct pools to use for this purpose?

2. How can I check the count of threads in these pools, or for that matter the total number of threads running across thread-pools?

Hi

1. Yes they are. Be aware that fast pool is for non-blocking short, fast operations only, rest is suppose to go to io pool.

2. there is http://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/Concurrent/CachedThreadPool.html#length-instance_method you need add the results yourself to get total count.
