Add SQSServiceSensor for non-polling SQS sensor - #91
Conversation
This adds a SQS Sensor with its own polling loop so that we can consume messages from one or more SQS queues as quickly as possible without relying on StackStorm to trigger a poll interval.

I assume there is no yielding needed in this function (aka eventlet.sleep(0.01) at the end or similar) because _receive_messages performs a network operation which already needs to yield at some point even if there are no messages to be retrieved.
Otherwise if that's not the case and _receive_messages could immediately return this could cause CPU spikes and 100% CPU utilization by the sensor process since there is no yielding.

boto3 receive_messages accepts a WaitTimeSeconds argument, which _receive_messages defaults to 2 seconds. That's what's keeping the loop from spinning too fast.

Would also be good to document here in the description and also in README how this sensor differentiates from other one :)

Can this method throw?
If so, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to wrap it in try / catch to avoid a scenario where the same message would always throw for some reason which would prevent sensor from continuing the processing since it would always crash on exception...

If this throws an exception, it's not because SQS couldn't delete the message due to some unrecoverable error. It will be because of a misconfiguration on the client side or something like that. I don't think it is necessary to try/catch this.

Should we also throw (and abort sensor processing) on this error?

I don't know why this was logged and not raised. It shouldn't be possible to get here if you have invalid credentials. We tested that scenario, and it raises an exception. I can't recall if it did so when getting the resource or creating the session.

My desire to work on this is non-existent at this point. Our internal fork
is working fine for us, and I’ve moved on to another project. On Fri, Feb 7, 2020 at 7:02 PM JP Bourget ***@***.***> wrote:

1. What happens if someone adds a large amount of queues? Say 30? 100?
500?
2. Any system requirements recommendations? I can see this sensor
getting people into trouble without care consideration before turning it on.
3. What if you named the sensor SQSContinuousSensor or something like
that to better differentiate?

Based on @grepory last comment shouldnt this be closed? Can we implement |
I am working on a usecase that needs the SQS sensor to churn at a faster rate than 120 messages/minute, which is the limitation of current in-tree sensor. Considering that I would be interested in moving this PR forward. Also, the non-polling sensor could potentially benefit from an async mechanism to grab the sqs message. Would exploring the following https://aiobotocore.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/sqs/producer_consumer.html# for non polling sqs sensor help address the open items on the review esp regarding timeout interval? cc @Kami ^ since you were helping with the review |

Closes#90 cc @Kami
The SQSServiceSensor class name is meh, but I lack in creativity. This is what we're using right now to process anywhere between 30-100 messages per second from a single queue.
