$folder  : string
Folder holding the record files

Methods

__construct()  : mixed
Constructor
all()  : array<string|int, mixed>
Fetch every stored record, keyed by worker ID
delete()  : void
Remove a record. A no-op if the ID isn't there.
getFolder()  : string
Get the folder
prune()  : int
Remove every record whose heartbeat is older than the given number of seconds, plus any stored entry that can no longer be decoded, returning how many were removed in total.
read()  : WorkerRecord|null
Fetch a record by ID, or null if it isn't there
write()  : void
Store a record, replacing any existing record with the same ID
decode()  : WorkerRecord|null
Decode a stored record, or null if the payload is unusable
encode()  : string
Encode a record for storage
isExpired()  : bool
Whether a record's heartbeat is older than the given number of seconds. Shared by every backend's prune() so the cutoff rule can't drift between them.
purgeUndecodable()  : int
Remove stored entries that can no longer be decoded into a WorkerRecord, returning how many were removed.
readRecord()  : WorkerRecord|null
Read and decode a record file, or null if it is unreadable or unusable
recordFiles()  : array<string|int, mixed>
The record filenames in the folder
recordPath()  : string
Path of the file backing a given worker ID

Properties

$folder

Folder holding the record files

protected string $folder

Methods

__construct()

Constructor

public __construct(string $folder) : mixed
Parameters
$folder : string
Tags
throws
Exception

all()

Fetch every stored record, keyed by worker ID

public all() : array<string|int, mixed>
Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

delete()

Remove a record. A no-op if the ID isn't there.

public delete(string $id) : void
Parameters
$id : string

getFolder()

Get the folder

public getFolder() : string
Return values
string

prune()

Remove every record whose heartbeat is older than the given number of seconds, plus any stored entry that can no longer be decoded, returning how many were removed in total.

public prune(int $olderThanSeconds) : int

Concrete here rather than per-backend: the expiry half is expressible purely in terms of all()/delete()/isExpired(), and four byte-identical copies would be four places for the rule to drift.

Parameters
$olderThanSeconds : int
Return values
int

read()

Fetch a record by ID, or null if it isn't there

public read(string $id) : WorkerRecord|null
Parameters
$id : string
Return values
WorkerRecord|null

write()

Store a record, replacing any existing record with the same ID

public write(WorkerRecord $record) : void
Parameters
$record : WorkerRecord

decode()

Decode a stored record, or null if the payload is unusable

protected decode(string|null $payload) : WorkerRecord|null
Parameters
$payload : string|null
Return values
WorkerRecord|null

encode()

Encode a record for storage

protected encode(WorkerRecord $record) : string

JSON, deliberately - registry records are plain scalars and arrays, so this carries none of the unserialize() object-injection surface that job payloads do.

Parameters
$record : WorkerRecord

Exception
Return values
string

isExpired()

Whether a record's heartbeat is older than the given number of seconds. Shared by every backend's prune() so the cutoff rule can't drift between them.

protected isExpired(WorkerRecord $record, int $olderThanSeconds) : bool
Parameters
$record : WorkerRecord
$olderThanSeconds : int
Return values
bool

purgeUndecodable()

Remove stored entries that can no longer be decoded into a WorkerRecord, returning how many were removed.

protected purgeUndecodable() : int

These are invisible to all() by design (it skips them so one corrupt entry cannot derail enumeration), which would otherwise make them permanently unreapable - a truncated write or a bad payload would leak for the lifetime of the store. Backends with real storage override this; the default is a no-op for backends that cannot hold an undecodable entry.

Return values
int

readRecord()

Read and decode a record file, or null if it is unreadable or unusable

protected readRecord(string $path) : WorkerRecord|null

The false-check is what keeps an unreadable file on the same graceful path as an undecodable one. file_get_contents() returns false, not '', when the read itself fails - and a worker registry is read while other workers are pruning it, so a file that passes file_exists() and is then unlinked before the read lands is an ordinary race, not corruption. Under declare(strict_types=1) handing that false to decode(?string) would be a TypeError, turning a routine race into a crash that takes out enumeration for every other worker in the registry.

Parameters
$path : string
Return values
WorkerRecord|null

recordFiles()

The record filenames in the folder

protected recordFiles() : array<string|int, mixed>
Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

recordPath()

Path of the file backing a given worker ID

protected recordPath(string $id) : string

IDs contain ':' and hostnames may contain '.', so the filename is a sanitized form. The sanitized form alone is not injective ('a.b' and 'a_b' both map to 'a_b'), so a short hash of the original ID is appended to keep distinct IDs in distinct files while the readable part stays useful for anyone browsing the folder.

Parameters
$id : string
Return values
string
