在 Tornado 的线程中运行长阻塞函数时出现问题

我对龙卷风很陌生。只是看看如何处理龙卷风中阻塞的请求。我在单独的线程中运行阻塞代码。然而，主线程仍然阻塞，直到线程函数完成。我在这里没有使用 gen.coroutine，但已经尝试过，结果是相同的

counter = 0

def run_async(func):
    @wraps(func)
    def function_in_a_thread(*args, **kwargs):
        func_t = Thread(target=func, args=args, kwargs=kwargs)
        func_t.start()
    return function_in_a_thread

def long_blocking_function(index, sleep_time, callback):
    print "Entering run counter:%s" % (index,)
    time.sleep(sleep_time)
    print "Exiting run counter:%s" % (index,)

    callback('keyy' + index)


class FooHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):

    @web.asynchronous
    def get(self):

        global counter
        counter += 1
        current_counter = str(counter)

        print "ABOUT to spawn thread for counter:%s" % (current_counter,)
        long_blocking_function(
            index=current_counter,
            sleep_time=5, callback=self.done_waiting)


        print "DONE with the long function"

    def done_waiting(self, response):
        self.write("Whatever %s " % (response,))
        self.finish()


class Application(tornado.web.Application):
    def __init__(self):
        handlers = [(r"/foo", FooHandler),
                    ]

        settings = dict(
            debug=True,
        )

        tornado.web.Application.__init__(self, handlers, **settings)


def main():
    application = Application()
    application.listen(8888)
    tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.instance().start()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

当我连续发出请求时，FooHandler 会阻塞并且在 long_blocking_function 完成之前不会收到任何请求。所以我最终看到了类似的东西

ABOUT to spawn thread for counter:1
Entering run counter:1
Exiting run counter:1
DONE with the long function
ABOUT to spawn thread for counter:2
Entering run counter:2
Exiting run counter:2
DONE with the long function
ABOUT to spawn thread for counter:3
Entering run counter:3
Exiting run counter:3
DONE with the long function

我期待着这些方面的事情（因为我在第一次调用 long_blocking_function 完成之前发出多个请求），但我只看到类似于上面的跟踪

ABOUT to spawn thread for counter:1
DONE with the long function
ABOUT to spawn thread for counter:2
DONE with the long function
ABOUT to spawn thread for counter:3
DONE with the long function
ABOUT to spawn thread for counter:4
DONE with the long function

我看过Tornado 阻塞异步请求 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13051591/tornado-blocking-asynchronous-requests并尝试了两种解决方案。但是当我向同一个处理程序发出连续请求来运行它们时，它们都会阻塞。有人能弄清楚我做错了什么吗？我知道龙卷风在多线程方面表现不佳，但我应该能够以非阻塞方式从中运行一个新线程。

龙卷风与并发期货 http://docs.python.org/dev/library/concurrent.futures.html图书馆（有一个Python 2.x 向后移植 https://pypi.python.org/pypi/futures可用），因此您可以使用线程池执行器 http://docs.python.org/dev/library/concurrent.futures.html#concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor.

这种技术效果很好——我们用它来处理长时间运行的数据库操作。当然，在现实世界中，您还希望以稳健且优雅的方式处理超时和其他异常，但我希望这个示例足以说明这个想法。

def long_blocking_function(index, sleep_time, callback):
    print ("Entering run counter:%s" % (index,))
    time.sleep(sleep_time)
    print ("Exiting run counter:%s" % (index,))
    return "Result from %d" % index


class FooHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    @tornado.gen.coroutine
    def get(self):
        global counter
        counter += 1
        current_counter = str(counter)

        print ("ABOUT to spawn thread for counter:%s" % (current_counter,))
        result = yield self.executor.submit(long_blocking_function,
                                            index=current_counter,
                                            sleep_time=5)
        self.write(result)
        print ("DONE with the long function")
