sum-queue

SumQueue it's a Rust queue type that keeps a fixed number of items by time, not capacity, similar to a cache, but with a simpler and faster implementation. It also allows to get summarized stats of the values on it at any time.

Examples

use std::time::Duration;
use std::thread;
use sum_queue::SumQueue;

// creates a queue where elements expire after 2 seconds
let mut queue: SumQueue<i32> = SumQueue::new(Duration::from_secs(2));
queue.push(1);
queue.push(10);
queue.push(3);

// Check the peek without removing the element
assert_eq!(queue.peek(), Some(&1));
// elements are removed in the same order were pushed
assert_eq!(queue.pop(), Some(1));
assert_eq!(queue.pop(), Some(10));
assert_eq!(queue.pop(), Some(3));
assert_eq!(queue.pop(), None);

// Lets puts elements again
queue.push(1);
queue.push(5);
queue.push(2);
// Elements can be iterated as many times as you want
println!("heap data: {:?}", queue.iter().collect::<Vec<_>>());  // [1, 5, 2]

// Check stats
let stats = queue.stats();
println!("Stats - min value in queue: {}", stats.min.unwrap());         // 1
println!("Stats - max value in queue: {}", stats.max.unwrap());         // 5
println!("Stats - sum all values in queue: {}", stats.sum.unwrap());    // 8
println!("Stats - length of queue: {}", stats.len);                     // 3

assert_eq!(queue.pop(), Some(1));
assert_eq!(queue.iter().collect::<Vec<_>>(), vec![&5, &2]);
println!("Elements after pop: {:?}", queue.iter().collect::<Vec<_>>()); // [5, 2]

// After a second the elements are still the same
thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1));
println!("Same after 1 sec: {:?}", queue.iter().collect::<Vec<_>>());   // [5, 2]

queue.push(50); // Add an element 1 second younger than the rest of elements
println!("Same elements + 50: {:?}", queue.iter().collect::<Vec<_>>()); // [5, 2, 50]

// Now let sleep 1 sec so the first elements expire
thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1));
println!("Just 50: {:?}", queue.iter().collect::<Vec<_>>());            // [50]

// 1 second more later the last element also expires
thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1));
println!("No elements: {:?}", queue.iter().collect::<Vec<_>>());        // []

Implementation

Underneath uses a BinaryHeap struct to keep the values, and implements the same methods: push(), pop(), peek() ... although worth to note that the implementations of the SumQueue type take mutable ownership of the self reference (eg. peek(&mut self) -> Option<&T>). That is because the cleaning of the expired elements of the queue occurs each time a method is called to read or write a value, including the len() method.

So as long you manage only one instance of SumQueue, there is no risk of excessive memory allocation, because while you push elements with the push() method, or call any other method to read the queue you are taking care of removing and deallocating the expired elements, but if you are using multiple instances, and pushing too many items to some queues and not accessing others further, the memory usage may growth with elements expired not been deallocated because you are not accessing those queues to push, pop or get the stats of them. In that case you can at least try to call often to the len() method to force the unused queues to remove and deallocate the expired elements.
