Pool for zc.resumelb to divide workers by version

This module contains a pool class which uses the classifier to route requests to multiple sub-pools of workers. Each sub-pool works like a normal zc.resumelb pool but only on workers of a single version.

The classifier will decide which of the sub-pools will serve the request by returning a tuple (version, classifier). This request will be served by a sub-pool containing only workers of a matching version.

Usage

At the current time, the only way is to monkey patch the zc.resumelb.lb.Pool class Like this:

>>> from van.resumelb import Pool
>>> import zc.resumelb.lb
>>> zc.resumelb.lb.Pool = Pool

WARNING: you must pass –single-version to the loadbalancer startup script. If you do not, all the workers will have a version of None.

In the future it should be possible to set the Pool class on the command line. The code to enable command-line overriding of the pool is awaiting merging at:
