[Bandalore](http://github.com/cemerick/bandalore) is a Clojure client
library for Amazon's [Simple Queue Service](http://aws.amazon.com/sqs/). It depends upon
the standard [AWS SDK for Java](http://aws.amazon.com/sdkforjava/),
and provides a Clojure-idiomatic API for the SQS-related functionality
therein.
== "Installation"
## "Installation"
Bandalore is available in Maven central. Add it to your Maven project's `pom.xml`:
----
```xml
<dependency>
<groupId>com.cemerick</groupId>
<artifactId>bandalore</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1</version>
<version>0.0.2</version>
</dependency>
----
```
or your leiningen project.clj:
----
[com.cemerick/bandalore "0.0.1"]
----
```clojure
[com.cemerick/bandalore "0.0.2"]
```
== Logging
Bandalore is compatible with Clojure 1.2.0 - 1.4.0.
## Logging
I strongly recommend squelching the AWS SDK's very verbose logging
before using Bandalore (the former spews a variety of stuff out on
INFO that I personally think should be in DEBUG or TRACE). You can
do this with this snippet:
----
```clojure
(.setLevel (java.util.logging.Logger/getLogger "com.amazonaws")
java.util.logging.Level/WARNING)
----
```
Translate as necessary if you're using log4j, etc.
== Usage
## Usage
You should be familiar with http://aws.amazon.com/sqs/[SQS itself]
before sensibly using this library. That said, Bandalore's API
@ -47,23 +49,23 @@ is well-documented.
You'll first need to load the library and create a SQS client object
to do anything:
----
```clojure
(require '[cemerick.bandalore :as sqs])
(def client (sqs/create-client "your aws id" "your aws secret-key"))
----
```
You can create, delete, and list queues:
----
=> (sqs/create-queue client "foo")
```clojure
#> (sqs/create-queue client "foo")
"https://queue.amazonaws.com/499312652346/foo"

=> (sqs/delete-queue client (first *1))
#> (sqs/delete-queue client (first *1))
nil
=> (list-queues client)
#> (list-queues client)

queue won't necessarily show up in an immediate listing of queues,

```
That's cleaner than having to interop directly with the Java SDK, but it's all
pretty pedestrian stuff. You can do more interesting things with some
simple higher-order functions and other nifty Clojure facilities.
=== Sending and receiving Clojure values
### Sending and receiving Clojure values
SQS' message bodies are strings, so you can stuff anything in them that you can
serialize to a string. That said, `pr-str` and `read-string` are too handy
to not use, assuming your consumers are using Clojure as well:
----
=> (sqs/send client q (pr-str {:a 5 :b "blah" :c 6.022e23}))
```clojure
#> (sqs/send client q (pr-str {:a 5 :b "blah" :c 6.022e23}))
{:id "3756c302-866a-4fcc-a7a3-746e6f531f47", :body-md5 "60052fc2ffb835257c26b9957c6e9ffd"}
=> (-?> (sqs/receive client q) first :body read-string)
#> (-?> (sqs/receive client q) first :body read-string)
{:a 5, :b "blah", :c 6.022E23}
----
```
=== Sending seqs of messages
### Sending seqs of messages
…with more gratuitous use of `pr-str` and `read-string` to send and receive
Clojure values:
----
=> (->> [:foo 'bar ["some vector" 42] #{#"silly place for a regex"}]
```clojure
#> (->> [:foo 'bar ["some vector" 42] #{#"silly place for a regex"}]
(map (comp (partial sqs/send client q) pr-str))
dorun)
nil
=> (map (comp read-string :body)
#> (map (comp read-string :body)
(sqs/receive client q :limit 10))
(bar ["some vector" 42])
=> (map (comp read-string :body)
#> (map (comp read-string :body)
(sqs/receive client q :limit 10))
(#{#"silly place for a regex"})
=> (map (comp read-string :body)
#> (map (comp read-string :body)
(sqs/receive client q :limit 10))
(:foo)
----
```
=== (Mostly) automatic deletion of consumed messages
### (Mostly) automatic deletion of consumed messages
When you're done processing a received message, you need to delete it from its
originaing queue:
----
```clojure
; ensure our queue is empty to start
=> (get (sqs/queue-attrs client q) "ApproximateNumberOfMessages")
#> (get (sqs/queue-attrs client q) "ApproximateNumberOfMessages")
"0"
=> (dorun (map (partial sqs/send client q) (map str (range 100))))
#> (dorun (map (partial sqs/send client q) (map str (range 100))))
nil
=> (get (sqs/queue-attrs client q) "ApproximateNumberOfMessages")
#> (get (sqs/queue-attrs client q) "ApproximateNumberOfMessages")
"100"
; received messages must be removed from the queue or they will
; be delivered again after their visibility timeout expires
=> (sqs/receive client q)
#> (sqs/receive client q)
(…message seq…)
=> (get (sqs/queue-attrs client q) "ApproximateNumberOfMessages")
#> (get (sqs/queue-attrs client q) "ApproximateNumberOfMessages")
"100"
=> (->> (sqs/receive client q) first (sqs/delete client))
#> (->> (sqs/receive client q) first (sqs/delete client))
nil
=> (get (sqs/queue-attrs client q) "ApproximateNumberOfMessages")
#> (get (sqs/queue-attrs client q) "ApproximateNumberOfMessages")
"99"
----
```
Rather than trying to remember to do this, just use the
`deleting-consumer` "middleware" to produce a function that calls
the message-processing function you provide to it, and then
automatically deletes the processed message from the origining queue:
----
=> (doall (map
```clojure
#> (doall (map
(sqs/deleting-consumer client (comp println :body))
(sqs/receive client q :limit 10)))

### Consuming queues as seqs

could treat an SQS queue as a seq of messages. While `receive` does return

You'd presumably want to set up some ways to control your consumer, but hopefully
you see that it would be trivial to parallelize the processing function being
wrapped by `deleting-consumer` using `pmap`, distribute processing among agents
if that's more appropriate, etc.

Or, you can skip the tests entirely:

$ mvn -Dmaven.test.skip#true clean install

In any case, you'll find a built `.jar` file in the `target` directory, and in
its designated spot in `~/.m2/repository` (assuming you ran `install` rather than
e.g. `package`).
