tenant-schemas-celery

Celery application implementation that allows celery tasks to cooperate with multi-tenancy provided by django-tenant-schemas and django-tenants packages.

This project might not seem frequently updated, but it just has all the functionality needed. Issues and questions are answered quickly.

Installation

   $ pip install tenant-schemas-celery
   $ pip install django-tenants

Usage

• Define a celery app using given CeleryApp class.

   import os
   os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'app.settings')

   from django.conf import settings

   from tenant_schemas_celery.app import CeleryApp as TenantAwareCeleryApp

   app = TenantAwareCeleryApp()
   app.config_from_object('django.conf:settings')
   app.autodiscover_tasks(lambda: settings.INSTALLED_APPS)

This assumes a fresh Celery 4.3.0 application. For previous versions, the key is to create a new CeleryApp instance that will be used to access task decorator from.

• Replace your @task decorator with @app.task

   from django.db import connection
   from myproject.celery import app

   @app.task
   def my_task():
      print(connection.schema_name)

• Run celery worker (myproject.celery is where you've defined the app variable)

    $ celery worker -A myproject.celery

• Post registered task. The schema name will get automatically added to the task's arguments.

   from myproject.tasks import my_task
   my_task.delay()

The TenantTask class transparently inserts current connection's schema into the task's kwargs. The schema name is then popped from the task's kwargs in task_prerun signal handler, and the connection's schema is changed accordingly.

Tenant objects cache

New in 0.3.0.

Every time a celery task is executed, the tenant object of the connection object is being refetched. For some use cases, this can introduce significant performance hit.

In such scenarios, you can pass tenant_cache_seconds argument to the @app.task() decorator. This will cause the tenant objects to be cached for given period of time. 0 turns this off. You can also enable cache globally by setting celery's TASK_TENANT_CACHE_SECONDS (app-specific, usually it's CELERY_TASK_TENANT_CACHE_SECONDS).

@app.task(tenant_cache_seconds=30)
def some_task():
    ...

Celery beat integration

This package does not provide support for scheduling periodic tasks inside given schema. Instead, you can use {django_tenants,django_tenants_schemas}.utils.{get_tenant_model,tenant_context} methods to launch given tasks within specific tenant.

Let's say that you would like to run a reset_remaining_jobs tasks periodically, for every tenant that you have. Instead of scheduling the task for each schema separately, you can schedule one dispatcher task that will iterate over all schemas and send specific task for each schema you want, instead:

from django_tenants.utils import get_tenant_model, tenant_context
from django_tenant_schemas.utils import get_tenant_model, tenant_context

@app.task
def reset_remaining_jobs_in_all_schemas():
    for tenant in get_tenant_model().objects.exclude(schema_name='public'):
        with tenant_context(tenant):
            reset_remaining_jobs_in_schema.delay()

@app.task
def reset_remaining_jobs_in_schema():
    <do some logic>

The reset_remaining_jobs_in_all_schemas task (called the dispatch task) should be registered in your celery beat schedule. The reset_remaining_jobs_in_schema task should be called from the dispatch task.

That way you have full control over which schemas the task should be scheduled in.
