tendermint/libs/pubsub/pubsub.go

// Package pubsub implements a pub-sub model with a single publisher (Server)
// and multiple subscribers (clients).
//
// Though you can have multiple publishers by sharing a pointer to a server or
// by giving the same channel to each publisher and publishing messages from
// that channel (fan-in).
//
// Clients subscribe for messages, which could be of any type, using a query.
// When some message is published, we match it with all queries. If there is a
// match, this message will be pushed to all clients, subscribed to that query.
// See query subpackage for our implementation.
//
// Due to the blocking send implementation, a single subscriber can freeze an
// entire server by not reading messages before it unsubscribes. To avoid such
// scenario, subscribers must either:
//
// a) make sure they continue to read from the out channel until
// Unsubscribe(All) is called
//
//     s.Subscribe(ctx, sub, qry, out)
//     go func() {
//         for msg := range out {
//             // handle msg
//             // will exit automatically when out is closed by Unsubscribe(All)
//         }
//     }()
//     s.UnsubscribeAll(ctx, sub)
//
// b) drain the out channel before calling Unsubscribe(All)
//
//     s.Subscribe(ctx, sub, qry, out)
//     defer func() {
//         for range out {
//             // drain out to make sure we don't block
//         }
//         s.UnsubscribeAll(ctx, sub)
//     }()
//     for msg := range out {
//         // handle msg
//         if err != nil {
//            return err
//         }
//     }
