I wrote this client because we needed a pooled high performance client to interact with beanstalk.
It uses socket channels instead of regular sockets for increased throughput (in our environment it is 10 to 20X faster then the regular socket implementation).

There is a simple connection pool so client connections can be reused.

See example/Example.java for example usage.

$ git clone https://github.com/dustismo/TrendrrBeanstalk.git TrendrrBeanstalk

Download the dependency org.apache.commons.logging from this link (download binary).

Put the jar file of org.apache.commons.logging in yourTrendrrBeanstalk directory.

Create the glade file and add the dependency of the jar and apply Gradle's Java plugin as follows:

build.gradle

apply plugin: 'java'

dependencies {
    compile files('commons-logging-1.2.jar')
}

Assembling the jar

$ gradle jar

This command will create the directory build which contains the package TrendrrBeanstalk in build/libs/TrendrrBeanstalk.jar

Well, now we can compile and run the file example.java with these follow commands:

$ javac -cp commons-logging-1.2.jar:build/libs/TrendrrBeanstalk.jar:. example/Example.java
$ java -cp commons-logging-1.2.jar:build/libs/TrendrrBeanstalk.jar:example Example

Take care about the last path after : ("example"), is the directory where your file Example.class is, if you are already in the directory example/ you probably need to run:

$ java -cp ../commons-logging-1.2.jar:../build/libs/TrendrrBeanstalk.jar:. Example
