- fixed some incomprehensible wording ("event assigned to..."?)
- removed undocumented and unnecessary process properties from example
- corrected the docs on the default for the exec setting
- described when workers are removed from cluster.workers
- described addressType, which was documented as existing, but not what
values it might have
- spell out more clearly the limitations of setupMaster
- describe disconnect in sufficient detail that why a child does or does
not exit can be understood
- clarify which cluster functions and events are available on process or
just on the worker, as well as which are not available in children,
- don't describe events as the same, when they have receive different
arguments
- fix misleading disconnect example: since disconnect already calls
close on all servers, doing it again in the example is a no-op, not
the "force close" it was claimed to be
- document the error event, not catching it will kill your node
- describe suicide better, it is important, and a bit unintuitive
(process.exit() is not suicide?)
- use worker consistently throughout, instead of child.
The first example in cluster.markdown requires NODE_DEBUG env to show
debug message.
And also fix the message because it was a little bit different with
the actual message.
This implements server.listen({ fd: <filedescriptor> }). The fd should
refer to an underlying resource that is already bound and listening, and
causes the new server to also accept connections on it.
Not supported on Windows. Raises ENOTSUP.
Regarding discussion in #3198. Passing the worker as an argument
to an event emitted on the worker is redundant, and an unnecessary
break in consistency vs the events on the ChildProcess objects.
It was removed from 'exit', but 'listening' and others were
overlooked. This corrects that oversight.
test: fixes due to new cluster api.
- changed worker `death` to `exit`.
- corrected argument type expected by worker `exit` handler.
test: more tests of cluster.worker death
cluster: fixed arguments on worker 'exit' event
worker 'exit' event now emits arguments consistent with the
corresponding event in child_process module.
This patch add a worker.disconnect() method there will stop the worker from accepting
new connections and then stop the IPC. This allow the worker to die graceful.
When the IPC has been disconnected a 'disconnect' event will emit.
The patch also add a cluster.disconnect() method, this will call worker.disconnect() on
all connected workers. When the workers are disconneted it will then close all server
handlers. This allow the cluster itself to self terminate in a graceful way.
