如何通过Tornado HTTP服务器上的HTTP使长任务“可取消”？

实际上，龙卷风Futures不支持取消（docs）。而且，即使使用with_timeout，超时的作业仍在运行，没有什么等待其结果。

唯一的方法，如我如何在超时的情况下如何取消龙卷风中悬挂的异步任务中所述？，是用可以取消的逻辑（带有一些标志或其他任何东西）来实现。

例子：

• 工作是一个简单的异步睡眠
• / 列出工作
• /add/TIME 添加新工作-时间以秒为单位-指定睡眠时间
• /cancel/ID 取消工作

该代码可能类似于：

from tornado.ioloop import IOLoop
from tornado import gen, web
from time import time

class Job():

    def __init__(self, run_sec):
        self.run_sec = int(run_sec)
        self.start_time = None
        self.end_time = None
        self._cancelled = False

    @gen.coroutine
    def run(self):
        """ Some job

        The job is simple: sleep for a given number of seconds.
        It could be implemented as:
             yield gen.sleep(self.run_sec)
        but this way makes it not cancellable, so
        it is divided: run 1s sleep, run_sec times 
        """
        self.start_time = time()
        deadline = self.start_time + self.run_sec
        while not self._cancelled:
            yield gen.sleep(1)
            if time() >= deadline:
                break
        self.end_time = time()

    def cancel(self):
    """ Cancels job

    Returns None on success,
    raises Exception on error:
      if job is already cancelled or done
    """
        if self._cancelled:
            raise Exception('Job is already cancelled')
        if self.end_time is not None:
            raise Exception('Job is already done')
        self._cancelled = True

    def get_state(self):
        if self._cancelled:
            if self.end_time is None:
                # job might be running still
                # and will be stopped on the next while check
                return 'CANCELING...'
            else:
                return 'CANCELLED'
        elif self.end_time is None:
            return 'RUNNING...'
        elif self.start_time is None:
            # actually this never will shown
            # as after creation, job is immediately started
            return 'NOT STARTED'
        else:
            return 'DONE'


class MainHandler(web.RequestHandler):

    def get(self, op=None, param=None):
        if op == 'add':
            # add new job
            new_job = Job(run_sec=param)
            self.application.jobs.append(new_job)
            new_job.run()
            self.write('Job added')
        elif op == 'cancel':
            # cancel job - stop running
            self.application.jobs[int(param)].cancel()
            self.write('Job cancelled')
        else:
            # list jobs
            self.write('<pre>') # this is so ugly... ;P
            self.write('ID\tRUNSEC\tSTART_TIME\tSTATE\tEND_TIME\n')
            for idx, job in enumerate(self.application.jobs):
                self.write('%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n' % (
                    idx, job.run_sec, job.start_time,
                    job.get_state(), job.end_time
                ))


class MyApplication(web.Application):

    def __init__(self):

        # to store tasks
        self.jobs = []

        super(MyApplication, self).__init__([
            (r"/", MainHandler),
            (r"/(add)/(\d*)", MainHandler),
            (r"/(cancel)/(\d*)", MainHandler),
        ])

if __name__ == "__main__":
    MyApplication().listen(8888)
    IOLoop.current().start()

添加情侣职位：

for a in `seq 12 120`; do curl http://127.0.0.1:8888/add/$a; done

然后取消一些...注意-仅需要龙卷风。

这个例子很简单，gen.sleep这将是您繁重的工作。当然，并非所有工作都像以可取消的方式实施那样简单。
