在PLINQ中取消长时间运行的任务

Question

I am trying to use the NET 4.0 parallel task library to handle multiple FTS queries. If the query takes too much time, I want to cancel it and continue forward with processing the rest.

This code doesn't stop when one query goes over the threshold. I think I'm calling it such that the cancel task and time limit is reached for the whole of the process rather than the single transaction. If I set the time period to be very small (300ms), then it gets called for all search strings.

I think I'm missing something obvious .. thanks in advance for any insight.

Additionally, this still doesn't seem to stop the very long query from executing. Is this even the correct way to cancel a long running query once it's been triggered?

Modified code:

CancellationTokenSource cts = new CancellationTokenSource();
CancellationToken token = cts.Token;

var query = searchString.Values.Select(c =>myLongQuery(c)).AsParallel().AsOrdered()
                                        .Skip(counter * numToProcess).Take(numToProcess).WithCancellation(cts.Token);

  new Thread(() =>
  {
     Thread.Sleep(5000);
     cts.Cancel();
  }).Start();

  try
  {
     List<List<Threads>> results = query.ToList();
     foreach (List<Threads> threads in results)
     {
           // does something with data
     }
  } catch (OperationCanceledException) {
     Console.WriteLine("query took too long");
  }   

Answer 1

PLINQ will poll the cancellation token after every some number of elements. If the frequency of checks is insufficient for your application, make sure all expensive delegates in the PLINQ query regularly call cts.Token.ThrowIfCancellationRequested().

这只是一个猜测：查询不是惰性的（就像在普通LINQ中一样），因此直到以后才执行，这不是问题吗？
