About the @threaded decorator

[abki]

I would like to have more informations about the threaded decorator.
If I understand well, since mongo-async-python is not ready for
production we are stuck with this solution got handling blocking db
calls. I understand what @threaded does but what about it's side
effects about the application. It's a pretty common task to call the
db driver so where and when should I use the decorator ?

Thanks in advance,

Based on our initial testing we have seen no real downside to using the
@threaded decorator. That said you will only see a performance gain if
you use it on requests that include blocking io (database calls for
instance).

That said if you would prefer to use an async mongo driver I would
suggest that you check out the asyncmongo driver from bit.ly.

Could you briefly explain what the @threaded decorator does ?

Hey Abki,

Check out the @threaded section of the docs page on the wiki. This gives
a good overview of the functionality.
https://github.com/trendrr/whirlwind/wiki/Docs

For a deeper dive feel free to take a look at the
whirlwind.core.multithreading module
(https://github.com/trendrr/whirlwind/blob/master/whirlwind/core/multithreading.py).

best,
Matt
