Normally, if Medusa is in the middle of a call to # select(), new output data generated by another thread will have # to sit until the call to select() either times out or returns. # If the trigger is 'pulled' by another thread, it should immediately # generate a READ event on the trigger object, which will force the # select() invocation to return. # # A common use for this facility: letting Medusa manage I/O for a # large number of connections; but routing each request through a # thread chosen from a fixed-size thread pool. When a thread is # acquired, a transaction is performed, but output data is # accumulated into buffers that will be emptied more efficiently # by Medusa. [picture a server that can process database queries # rapidly, but doesn't want to tie up threads waiting to send data # to low-bandwidth connections] # # The other major feature provided by this class is the ability to # move work back into the main thread: if you call pull_trigger() # with a thunk argument, when select() wakes up and receives the # event it will call your thunk from within that thread. The main # purpose of this is to remove the need to wrap thread locks around # Medusa's data structures, which normally do not need them.
