Scala隊列系統 Kestrel

Kestrel 是 Scala 的一個非常小的隊列系統，基于 starling。

• fast

  It runs on the JVM so it can take advantage of the hard work people have put into java performance.

• small

  Currently about 2500 lines of scala, because it relies on Netty (a rough equivalent of Danger's ziggurat or Ruby's EventMachine) -- and because Scala is extremely expressive.

• durable

  Queues are stored in memory for speed, but logged into a journal on disk so that servers can be shutdown or moved without losing any data.

• reliable

  A client can ask to "tentatively" fetch an item from a queue, and if that client disconnects from kestrel before confirming ownership of the item, the item is handed to another client. In this way, crashing clients don't cause lost messages.
