Hey All,
I am new to Gearman. I have following queries about optimized Gearman usages:
1) I think worker expects job as a "string". Can I send an Array or Hash as Job to worker? If not, is JSON the best Job format to send Array/Hash?
2) Can I attach rails application routes as worker for Job Server?
3) How do you check if a worker is running or not? Is there any administration tool available for Job Server and Worker stats?
4) Can I architect a ROR system, such that every request passes through Gearman job server? I have multiple applications using same database (some of them are iPhone app, Android app, website). My main goal is to access content using general API for all these applications. Or Gearman is more suitable for background processes?
Thanks.
