awesome package, how to work on all queued messages effectively? about mongodb-queue

[chilts]

I'd accept a PR which would effectively say to .get() to try and retrieve multiple messages at the same time. Currently this isn't possible except in a loop as you suggest.

I have no idea about timing overall, that would be up to the user to profile the queue with their own setup, servers and MongoDB architecture. I'm sure it could scale up a lot, but I have no numbers to back that up. Also, this isn't enterprise, for that I'd probably go and look at something else.

Hmm, I just came across this again. I'm thinking about adding this functionality, but will probably only do it if there is some kind of demand for it. Anyone reading this, feel free to say so in the comments.

@chilts To be a bit more specific… I would like to know how to create a worker that consumes the queue (maybe with a given concurrency) as long as there are jobs

+1 to essentially allowing the ability to create a "consumer". supporting a "worker/consumer" style pattern that could automatically retrieve messages if they exist unacked would be a pretty awesome edition to this package.

+1 on what @florianbepunkt and @wolfejw86 mentioned.

+1 it could be nice to have option to get messages in batch

Please take a look CloudFlare's Queue JavaScript APIs
