Is there a fixed sized queue which removes excessive elements?

Actually the LinkedHashMap does exactly what you want. You need to override the removeEldestEntry method. Example for a queue with max 10 elements: queue = new LinkedHashMap<Integer, String>() { @Override protected boolean removeEldestEntry(Map.Entry<Integer, String> eldest) { return this.size() > 10; } }; If the “removeEldestEntry” returns true, the eldest entry is removed from the map.

RabbitMQ – Message order of delivery

Well, let’s take a closer look at the scenario you are describing above. I think it’s important to paste the documentation immediately prior to the snippet in your question to provide context: Section 4.7 of the AMQP 0-9-1 core specification explains the conditions under which ordering is guaranteed: messages published in one channel, passing through … Read more

Queue ajax requests using jQuery.queue()

You problem here is, that .ajax() fires an asyncronous running Ajax request. That means, .ajax() returns immediately, non-blocking. So your queue the functions but they will fire almost at the same time like you described. I don’t think the .queue() is a good place to have ajax requests in, it’s more intended for the use … Read more

Implement a queue in which push_rear(), pop_front() and get_min() are all constant time operations

You can implement a stack with O(1) pop(), push() and get_min(): just store the current minimum together with each element. So, for example, the stack [4,2,5,1] (1 on top) becomes [(4,4), (2,2), (5,2), (1,1)]. Then you can use two stacks to implement the queue. Push to one stack, pop from another one; if the second … Read more

Sharing a result queue among several processes

Try using multiprocessing.Manager to manage your queue and to also make it accessible to different workers. import multiprocessing def worker(name, que): que.put(“%d is done” % name) if __name__ == ‘__main__’: pool = multiprocessing.Pool(processes=3) m = multiprocessing.Manager() q = m.Queue() workers = pool.apply_async(worker, (33, q))

Run PHP Task Asynchronously

I’ve used the queuing approach, and it works well as you can defer that processing until your server load is idle, letting you manage your load quite effectively if you can partition off “tasks which aren’t urgent” easily. Rolling your own isn’t too tricky, here’s a few other options to check out: GearMan – this … Read more
