Returns

An abstract launcher object.

---

Method validate()

Validate the launcher.

Usage

crew_class_launcher_cluster$validate()

Returns

NULL (invisibly). Throws an error if a field is invalid.

---

Method launch_worker()

Launch a local process worker which will dial into a socket.

Usage

crew_class_launcher_cluster$launch_worker(
  call,
  name,
  launcher,
  worker,
  instance
)

Arguments

call

Character of length 1, a namespaced call to crew::crew_worker() which will run in the worker and accept tasks.

name

Character of length 1, an informative worker name.

launcher

Character of length 1, name of the launcher.

worker

Positive integer of length 1, index of the worker. This worker index remains the same even when the current instance of the worker exits and a new instance launches. It is always between 1 and the maximum number of concurrent workers.

instance

Character of length 1 to uniquely identify the current instance of the worker.

Details

The call argument is R code that will run to initiate the worker.

Returns

A handle object to allow the termination of the worker later on.

---

Method terminate_worker()

Terminate a local process worker.

Usage

crew_class_launcher_cluster$terminate_worker(handle)

Arguments

handle

A process handle object previously returned by launch_worker().

Returns

NULL (invisibly).
