+parallel_minion [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/reidmorrison/parallel_minion.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/reidmorrison/parallel_minion)
 ===============
 
-Parallel Minion supports easily handing work off to minions (threads) so that tasks
-that would normally be performed sequentially can easily be executed in parallel.
-This allows Ruby and Rails applications to very easily do many tasks at the same
-time so that results are returned more quickly.
+Pragmatic approach to parallel and asynchronous processing in Ruby
 
-Our use-case for minions is where an application grew to a point where it would
-be useful to run some of the steps in fulfilling a single request in parallel.
+## Description
 
-## Features:
-
-Exceptions
-
-- Any exceptions raised in minions are captured and propagated back to the
-  calling thread when #result is called
-- Makes exception handling simple with a drop-in replacement for existing code
-- Avoids having to implement more complex actors and supervisors required
-  by some concurrency frameworks
-
-Timeouts
-
-- Timeout when a minion does not return within a specified time
-- Timeouts are a useful feature when one of the minions fails to respond in a
-  reasonable amount of time. For example when a call to a remote service hangs
-  we can send back a partial response of other work that was completed rather
-  than just "hanging" or failing completely.
-
-Logging
-
-- Built-in support to log the duration of all minion tasks to make future analysis
-  of performance issues much easier
-- Logs any exceptions thrown to assist with problem diagnosis
-- Logging tags from the current thread are propagated to the minions thread
-- The name of the thread in log entries is set to the description supplied for
-  the minion to make it easy to distinguish log entries by minion / thread
-
-Rails Support
-
-- When used in a Rails environment the current scope of specified models can be
-  propagated to the minions thread
+Parallel Minion allows you to take existing blocks of code and wrap them in a minion
+so that they can run asynchronously in a separate thread.
+The minion then passes back the result to the caller when or if requested.
+If any exceptions were thrown during the minion processing, it will be re-raised
+in the callers thread so that no additional work needs to be done when converting
+existing code to use minions.
 
 ## Example
 
-Simple example

 ```ruby
-minion = ParallelMinion::Minion.new(10.days.ago, description: 'Doing something else in parallel', timeout: 1000) do |date|

+            timeout: 1000) do |date|
   MyTable.where('created_at <= ?', date).count
 end

-## Example
-
-For example, in the code below there are several steps that are performed
-sequentially and does not yet use minions:
-
-```ruby
-# Contrived example to show how to do parallel code execution
-# with (unreal) sample durations in the comments
-
-def process_request(request)
-  # Count number of entries in a table.
-  #   Average response time 150ms
-  person_count = Person.where(state: 'FL').count
-
-  # Count the number of requests for this user (usually more complex with were clauses etc.)
-  #   Average response time 320ms
-  request_count = Requests.where(user_id: request.user.id).count
-
-  # Call an external provider
-  #   Average response time 1800ms ( Sometimes "hangs" when supplier does not respond )
-  inventory = inventory_supplier.check_inventory(request.product.id)
-
-  # Call another provider for more info on the user
-  #   Average response time 1500ms
-  user_info = user_supplier.more_info(request.user.name)
+## Documentation
 
-  # Build up the reply
-  reply = MyReply.new(user_id: request.user.id)
+For complete documentation see: http://reidmorrison.github.io/parallel_minion
 
-  reply.number_of_people   = person_count
-  reply.number_of_requests = request_count
-  reply.user_details       = user_info.details
-  if inventory.product_available?
-    reply.available        = true
-    reply.quantity         = 100
-  else
-    reply.available = false
-  end
-
-  reply
-end
-```
-The average response time when calling #process_request is around 3,780 milli-seconds.
-
-The first step could be to run the supplier calls in parallel.
-Through log analysis we have determined that the first supplier call takes on average
-1,800 ms and we have decided that it should not wait longer than 2,200 ms for a response.
-
-```ruby
-# Now with a single parallel call
-
-def process_request(request)
-  # Count number of entries in a table.
-  #   Average response time 150ms
-  person_count = Person.where(state: 'FL').count
-
-  # Count the number of requests for this user (usually more complex with were clauses etc.)
-  #   Average response time 320ms
-  request_count = Requests.where(user_id: request.user.id).count
-
-  # Call an external provider
-  #   Average response time 1800ms ( Sometimes "hangs" when supplier does not respond )
-  inventory_minion = ParallelMinion::Minion.new(request.product.id, description: 'Inventory Lookup', timeout: 2200) do |product_id|
-    inventory_supplier.check_inventory(product_id)
-  end
-
-  # Call another provider for more info on the user
-  #   Average response time 1500ms
-  user_info = user_supplier.more_info(request.user.name)
-
-  # Build up the reply
-  reply = MyReply.new(user_id: request.user.id)
-
-  reply.number_of_people   = person_count
-  reply.number_of_requests = request_count
-  reply.user_details       = user_info.details
-
-  # Get inventory result from Inventory Lookup minion
-  inventory = inventory_minion.result
-
-  if inventory.product_available?
-    reply.available        = true
-    reply.quantity         = 100
-  else
-    reply.available = false
-  end
-
-  reply
-end
-```
-
-The above changes drop the average processing time from 3,780 milli-seconds to
-2,280 milli-seconds.
-
-By moving the supplier call to the top of the function call it can be optimized
-to about 1,970 milli-seconds.
-
-We can further parallelize the processing to gain even greater performance.
-
-```ruby
-# Now with two parallel calls
-
-def process_request(request)
-  # Call an external provider
-  #   Average response time 1800ms ( Sometimes "hangs" when supplier does not respond )
-  inventory_minion = ParallelMinion::Minion.new(request.product.id, description: 'Inventory Lookup', timeout: 2200) do |product_id|
-    inventory_supplier.check_inventory(product_id)
-  end
-
-  # Count the number of requests for this user (usually more complex with were clauses etc.)
-  #   Average response time 320ms
-  request_count_minion = ParallelMinion::Minion.new(request.user.id, description: 'Request Count', timeout: 500) do |user_id|
-    Requests.where(user_id: user_id).count
-  end
-
-  # Leave the current thread some work to do too
-
-  # Count number of entries in a table.
-  #   Average response time 150ms
-  person_count = Person.where(state: 'FL').count
-
-  # Call another provider for more info on the user
-  #   Average response time 1500ms
-  user_info = user_supplier.more_info(request.user.name)
-
-  # Build up the reply
-  reply = MyReply.new(user_id: request.user.id)
-
-  reply.number_of_people   = person_count
-  # The request_count is retrieved from the request_count_minion first since it
-  # should complete before the inventory_minion
-  reply.number_of_requests = request_count_minion.result
-  reply.user_details       = user_info.details
-
-  # Get inventory result from Inventory Lookup minion
-  inventory = inventory_minion.result
-
-  if inventory.product_available?
-    reply.available        = true
-    reply.quantity         = 100
-  else
-    reply.available = false
-  end
-
-  reply
-end
-```
-
-The above #process_request method should now take on average 1,810 milli-seconds
-which is significantly faster than the 3,780 milli-seconds it took to perform
-the exact same request prior to using minions.
-
-The exact breakdown of which calls to do in the main thread versus a minion is determined
-through experience and trial and error over time. The key is logging the duration
-of each call which minion does by default so that the exact processing breakdown
-can be fine-tuned over time.
-
-## Disabling Minions
-
-In the event that strange problems are occurring in production and no one is
-sure if it is due to running the minion tasks in parallel, it is simple to make
-all minion tasks run in the calling thread.
-
-It may also be useful to disable minions on a single production server to compare
-its performance to that of the servers running with minions active.
-
-To disable minions / make them run in the calling thread, add the following
-lines to config/environments/production.rb:
-
-```ruby
-  # Make minions run immediately in the current thread
-  config.parallel_minion.enabled = false
-```
-
-## Notes:
-
-- When using JRuby it is important to enable it's built-in thread-pooling by
-  adding the following line to .jrubyrc, or setting the appropriate command line option:
-
-```ruby
-thread.pool.enabled=true
-```
+## Production Use
 
+Parallel Minion is being used in a high performance, highly concurrent
+production environment running JRuby with Ruby on Rails on a Puma web server.
+Significant reduction in the time it takes to complete rails request processing
+has been achieved by moving existing blocks of code into Minions.
 
-## Compatibility
+## Installation
 
-ParallelMinion is tested against MRI 2.0.0, and JRuby 1.7.8.
+    gem install parallel_minion
