动态添加/删除线程到芹菜中的工作池

Question

How do I add more threads (and remove threads) to the current multiprocessing pool, from within a task (ie celeryd was run with CELERYD_CONCURRENCY = 10 but I want to change it on-the-fly to CELERYD_CONCURRENCY = 15)?

There is a function called celery.concurrency.processes.TaskPool.Pool.grow but I have no idea how to call that from a running task or whether it is the correct function to do that.

Read the source:

https://github.com/ask/celery/blob/master/celery/concurrency/processes/__init__.py

there's both grow() and shrink() , although the latter seems a tad fishy.

you'd need to keep a reference to the pool somewhere, if you have only one pool, keep it global.

caveat poster: if multiprocessing actually means running multiple separate processes , you might already be in a child process when you try to shrink or grow, and obviously that won't work.
