I am attempting to make a future that continuously finds new work to do and then maintains a set of futures for those work items. I would like to make sure neither my main future that finds work to be blocked for long periods of time and to have my work being done concurrently.
Here is a rough overview of what I am trying to do. Specifically isDone does not exist and also from what I can understand from the docs isn't necessarily a valid way to use futures in Rust. What is the idomatic way of doing this kind of thing?
use std::collections::HashMap;
use tokio::runtime::Runtime;
async fn find_work() -> HashMap<i64, String> {
// Go read from the DB or something...
let mut work = HashMap::new();
work.insert(1, "test".to_string());
work.insert(2, "test".to_string());
return work;
}
async fn do_work(id: i64, value: String) -> () {
// Result<(), Error> {
println!("{}: {}", id, value);
}
async fn async_main() -> () {
let mut pending_work = HashMap::new();
loop {
for (id, value) in find_work().await {
if !pending_work.contains_key(&id) {
let fut = do_work(id, value);
pending_work.insert(id, fut);
}
}
pending_work.retain(|id, fut| {
if isDone(fut) {
// do something with the result
false
} else {
true
}
});
}
}
fn main() {
let runtime = Runtime::new().unwrap();
let exec = runtime.executor();
exec.spawn(async_main());
runtime.shutdown_on_idle();
}
