# MutexApplicationJob serves as a base class for jobs that require distributed locking mechanisms. # It abstracts the locking logic using Redis and ensures that a block of code can be executed with # mutual exclusion. # # The primary mechanism provided is the `with_lock` method, which accepts a key format and associated # arguments. This method attempts to acquire a lock using the generated key, and if successful, it # executes the provided block of code. If the lock cannot be acquired, it raises a LockAcquisitionError. # # To use this class, inherit from MutexApplicationJob and make use of the `with_lock` method in the # `perform` method of the derived job class. # # Also see, retry mechanism here: https://edgeapi.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveJob/Exceptions/ClassMethods.html#method-i-retry_on # class MutexApplicationJob < ApplicationJob class LockAcquisitionError < StandardError; end def with_lock(lock_key, timeout = Redis::LockManager::LOCK_TIMEOUT) lock_manager = Redis::LockManager.new begin if lock_manager.lock(lock_key, timeout) log_attempt(lock_key, executions) yield # release the lock after the block has been executed lock_manager.unlock(lock_key) else handle_failed_lock_acquisition(lock_key) end rescue StandardError => e handle_error(e, lock_manager, lock_key) end end private def log_attempt(lock_key, executions) Rails.logger.info "[#{self.class.name}] Acquired lock for: #{lock_key} on attempt #{executions}" end def handle_error(err, lock_manager, lock_key) lock_manager.unlock(lock_key) unless err.is_a?(LockAcquisitionError) raise err end def handle_failed_lock_acquisition(lock_key) Rails.logger.warn "[#{self.class.name}] Failed to acquire lock on attempt #{executions}: #{lock_key}" raise LockAcquisitionError, "Failed to acquire lock for key: #{lock_key}" end end
