启用多个workers

Celery 定时任务

与django结合

通过django配置celery periodic task

一、Celery介绍和基本使用

Celery 是一个 基于python开发的分布式异步消息任务队列，通过它可以轻松的实现任务的异步处理， 如果你的业务场景中需要用到异步任务，就可以考虑使用celery， 举几个实例场景中可用的例子:

1. 你想对100台机器执行一条批量命令，可能会花很长时间 ，但你不想让你的程序等着结果返回，而是给你返回 一个任务ID,你过一段时间只需要拿着这个任务id就可以拿到任务执行结果， 在任务执行ing进行时，你可以继续做其它的事情。
2. 你想做一个定时任务，比如每天检测一下你们所有客户的资料，如果发现今天 是客户的生日，就给他发个短信祝福

Celery 在执行任务时需要通过一个消息中间件来接收和发送任务消息，以及存储任务结果， 一般使用rabbitMQ or Redis,后面会讲

1.1 Celery有以下优点：

1. 简单：一单熟悉了celery的工作流程后，配置和使用还是比较简单的
2. 高可用：当任务执行失败或执行过程中发生连接中断，celery 会自动尝试重新执行任务
3. 快速：一个单进程的celery每分钟可处理上百万个任务
4. 灵活： 几乎celery的各个组件都可以被扩展及自定制

Celery基本工作流程图

1.2 Celery安装使用

Celery的默认broker是RabbitMQ, 仅需配置一行就可以

rabbitMQ 没装的话请装一下，安装看这里  http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/getting-started/brokers/rabbitmq.html#id3

使用Redis做broker也可以

安装redis组件

配置

Configuration is easy, just configure the location of your Redis database:

app.conf.broker_url = 'redis://localhost:6379/0'

Where the URL is in the format of:

redis://:password@hostname:port/db_number

all fields after the scheme are optional, and will default to localhost on port 6379, using database 0.

如果想获取每个任务的执行结果，还需要配置一下把任务结果存在哪

If you also want to store the state and return values of tasks in Redis, you should configure these settings:

app.conf.result_backend = 'redis://localhost:6379/0'

1. 3 开始使用Celery啦　　

安装celery模块

创建一个celery application 用来定义你的任务列表

创建一个任务文件就叫tasks.py吧

启动Celery Worker来开始监听并执行任务

调用任务

再打开一个终端， 进行命令行模式，调用任务　　

看你的worker终端会显示收到 一个任务，此时你想看任务结果的话，需要在调用 任务时　赋值个变量

The ready() method returns whether the task has finished processing or not:

>>> result.ready()

False

You can wait for the result to complete, but this is rarely used since it turns the asynchronous call into a synchronous one:

>>> result.get(timeout=1)

8

In case the task raised an exception, get() will re-raise the exception, but you can override this by specifying the propagate argument:

>>> result.get(propagate=False)

If the task raised an exception you can also gain access to the original traceback:

>>> result.traceback

…

二、在项目中如何使用celery　

可以把celery配置成一个应用

目录格式如下

proj/celery.py内容

proj/tasks.py中的内容

from __future__ import absolute_import, unicode_literals

from .celery import app

@app.task

def add(x, y):

    return x + y

@app.task

def mul(x, y):

    return x * y

@app.task

def xsum(numbers):

    return sum(numbers)

启动worker 

输出

后台启动worker

In the background

In production you’ll want to run the worker in the background, this is described in detail in the daemonization tutorial.

The daemonization scripts uses the celery multi command to start one or more workers in the background:

$ celery multi start w1 -A proj -l info

celery multi v4.0.0 (latentcall)

> Starting nodes...

    > w1.halcyon.local: OK

You can restart it too:

$ celery  multi restart w1 -A proj -l info

celery multi v4.0.0 (latentcall)

> Stopping nodes...

    > w1.halcyon.local: TERM -> 64024

> Waiting for 1 node.....

    > w1.halcyon.local: OK

> Restarting node w1.halcyon.local: OK

celery multi v4.0.0 (latentcall)

> Stopping nodes...

    > w1.halcyon.local: TERM -> 64052

or stop it:

$ celery multi stop w1 -A proj -l info

The stop command is asynchronous so it won’t wait for the worker to shutdown. You’ll probably want to use the stopwait command instead, this ensures all currently executing tasks is completed before exiting:

$ celery multi stopwait w1 -A proj -l info

django 可以轻松跟celery结合实现异步任务，只需简单配置即可

If you have a modern Django project layout like:

- proj/

  - proj/__init__.py

  - proj/settings.py

  - proj/urls.py

- manage.py

then the recommended way is to create a new proj/proj/celery.py module that defines the Celery instance:

file: proj/proj/celery.py　　

Then you need to import this app in your proj/proj/__init__.py module. This ensures that the app is loaded when Django starts so that the @shared_task decorator (mentioned later) will use it:　　

proj/proj/__init__.py:

Note that this example project layout is suitable for larger projects, for simple projects you may use a single contained module that defines both the app and tasks, like in the First Steps with Celery tutorial.　　

Let’s break down what happens in the first module, first we import absolute imports from the future, so that our celery.py module won’t * with the library:

Then we set the default DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable for the celery command-line program:

You don’t need this line, but it saves you from always passing in the settings module to the celery program. It must always come before creating the app instances, as is what we do next:

This is our instance of the library.

We also add the Django settings module as a configuration source for Celery. This means that you don’t have to use multiple configuration files, and instead configure Celery directly from the Django settings; but you can also separate them if wanted.

The uppercase name-space means that all Celery configuration options must be specified in uppercase instead of lowercase, and start with CELERY_, so for example the task_always_eager` setting becomes CELERY_TASK_ALWAYS_EAGER, and the broker_url setting becomes CELERY_BROKER_URL.

You can pass the object directly here, but using a string is better since then the worker doesn’t have to serialize the object.

Next, a common practice for reusable apps is to define all tasks in a separate tasks.pymodule, and Celery does have a way to  auto-discover these modules:

With the line above Celery will automatically discover tasks from all of your installed apps, following the tasks.py convention:

Finally, the debug_task example is a task that dumps its own request information. This is using the new bind=True task option introduced in Celery 3.1 to easily refer to the current task instance.

然后在具体的app里的tasks.py里写你的任务

在你的django views里调用celery task

五、在django中使用计划任务功能　　

There’s  the django-celery-beat extension that stores the schedule in the Django database, and presents a convenient admin interface to manage periodic tasks at runtime.

To install and use this extension:

1. Use pip to install the package:

   $ pip install django-celery-beat
   

2. Add the django_celery_beat module to INSTALLED_APPS in your Django project’ settings.py:

       INSTALLED_APPS = (
   
           ...,
   
           'django_celery_beat',
   
       )
   
   Note that there is no dash in the module name, only underscores.
   

3. Apply Django database migrations so that the necessary tables are created:

   $ python manage.py migrate
   

4. Start the celery beat service using the django scheduler:

   $ celery -A proj beat -l info -S django
   

5. Visit the Django-Admin interface to set up some periodic tasks.

在admin页面里，有3张表

配置完长这样

此时启动你的celery beat 和worker，会发现每隔2分钟，beat会发起一个任务消息让worker执行scp_task任务

注意，经测试，每添加或修改一个任务，celery beat都需要重启一次，要不然新的配置不会被celery beat进程读到
