[09:22:32] * ChanServ sets mode: +o temporalfox [10:44:22] <luis_> Hi guys, we are working vertx for the backend of an app, and I have a few questions concerning Verticles vs Worker Verticles. I understand that Worker Verticles are meant to run sync code, but I would like to know if there is a real performance drawback using these types of Verticles. Basically, can I use Worker Verticles extensively or should I try to avoid them ? [10:55:53] <cescoffier> Hi luis_ Worker verticle reduce your scalability as worker verticles are exuecuted in a worker thread pool [10:56:09] <cescoffier> and they may be blocking, the thread utilization can be an issue [11:02:55] <luis_> So if I can avoid them it's the way to go to ease scalability if I understand correctly ? Like they are meant to run legacy sync libraries but we should prefer opting for async libs when possible to use mostly Verticles ? [11:03:14] <cescoffier> not sync, blocking. but yes [11:03:20] <luis_> yeah blocking sorry [11:03:33] <luis_> okay thanks [11:05:44] <luis_> Also on an other hand, i saw you worked on the micro service toolkit for vertx 3.3, i was wondering if it was ready for production apps yet, or if it's to early ? [11:10:59] <cescoffier> I guess it's almost ready [11:11:30] <cescoffier> there is some improvement around the documentation and I would like to have bridges for SRV record (DNS) and Consul [13:42:30] * ChanServ sets mode: +o temporalfox

[15:13:13] <amr> so using the mongo extended json api to insert a date ends up inserting a useless object {date: “datestring”} into my collection

[15:13:28] <amr> looks like some sort of vertx wrapper

[15:13:54] <amr> is that expected? it makes the data outside of its use with mongo pretty useless

[21:04:56] <dns_> hi! Is it possible to throw an exception from an async handler?

[23:27:36] <AlexLehm> dns_: the AsyncHandler is a Future subclass I think which means you can create a failure

[23:28:29] <AlexLehm> sorry, thats AsyncResult

[23:30:43] <AlexLehm> if your handler expects an AsyncResult<T> you can use a failed future with throwable

[23:32:29] <dns_> AlexLehm: Do you mean Future.failedFuture(“Exception text”)?

[23:32:38] <AlexLehm> yes

[23:34:23] <AlexLehm> it doesn't really throw an exception, but the result code can check for !succeeded and get the exception

[23:36:18] <dns_> don't understand where sould I check a result of this future.. Could you please a link where I car read some examples.. may be.. I didn't find any examples except try {Future.get()} catch (bla ..) constructions(

[23:36:51] <dns_> I can create a gist example..

[23:41:02] <dns_> my question at line 35

[23:42:44] <AlexLehm> you cannot throw an exception in line 35 to the m1 method, since the code is not executed in that method, it is executed inside the class implementing the handler

[23:43:21] <AlexLehm> you have to use another handler to pass the exception I think

[23:51:19] <dns_> ok. Thank you!
