defmodule Supervisor do
@moduledoc ~S"""
A behaviour module for implementing supervisors.
A supervisor is a process which supervises other processes, which we
refer to as *child processes*. Supervisors are used to build a hierarchical
process structure called a *supervision tree*. Supervision trees provide
fault-tolerance and encapsulate how our applications start and shutdown.
A supervisor may be started directly with a list of children via
`start_link/2` or you may define a module-based supervisor that implements
the required callbacks. The sections below use `start_link/2` to start
supervisors in most examples, but it also includes a specific section
on module-based ones.
## Examples
In order to start a supervisor, we need to first define a child process
that will be supervised. As an example, we will define a GenServer that
represents a stack:
defmodule Stack do
use GenServer
def start_link(state) do
GenServer.start_link(__MODULE__, state, name: __MODULE__)
end
## Callbacks
@impl true
def init(stack) do
{:ok, stack}
end
@impl true
def handle_call(:pop, _from, [head | tail]) do
{:reply, head, tail}
end
@impl true
def handle_cast({:push, head}, tail) do
{:noreply, [head | tail]}
end
end
The stack is a small wrapper around lists. It allows us to put
an element on the top of the stack, by prepending to the list,
and to get the top of the stack by pattern matching.
We can now start a supervisor that will start and supervise our
stack process. The first step is to define a list of **child
specifications** that control how each child behaves. Each child
specification is a map, as shown below:
children = [
# The Stack is a child started via Stack.start_link([:hello])
%{
id: Stack,
start: {Stack, :start_link, [[:hello]]}
}
]
# Now we start the supervisor with the children and a strategy
{:ok, pid} = Supervisor.start_link(children, strategy: :one_for_one)
# After started, we can query the supervisor for information
Supervisor.count_children(pid)
#=> %{active: 1, specs: 1, supervisors: 0, workers: 1}
Note that when starting the GenServer, we are registering it
with name `Stack`, which allows us to call it directly and get
what is on the stack:
GenServer.call(Stack, :pop)
#=> :hello
GenServer.cast(Stack, {:push, :world})
#=> :ok
GenServer.call(Stack, :pop)
#=> :world
However, there is a bug in our stack server. If we call `:pop` and
the stack is empty, it is going to crash because no clause matches:
GenServer.call(Stack, :pop)
** (exit) exited in: GenServer.call(Stack, :pop, 5000)
Luckily, since the server is being supervised by a supervisor, the
supervisor will automatically start a new one, with the initial stack
of `[:hello]`:
GenServer.call(Stack, :pop)
#=> :hello
Supervisors support different strategies; in the example above, we
have chosen `:one_for_one`. Furthermore, each supervisor can have many
workers and/or supervisors as children, with each one having its own
configuration (as outlined in the "Child specification" section).
The rest of this document will cover how child processes are specified,
how they can be started and stopped, different supervision strategies
and more.
## Child specification
The child specification describes how the supervisor starts, shuts down,
and restarts child processes.
The child specification is a map containing up to 6 elements. The first two keys
in the following list are required, and the remaining ones are optional:
* `:id` - any term used to identify the child specification
internally by the supervisor; defaults to the given module.
In the case of conflicting `:id` values, the supervisor will refuse
to initialize and require explicit IDs. This key is required.
* `:start` - a tuple with the module-function-args to be invoked
to start the child process. This key is required.
* `:restart` - an atom that defines when a terminated child process
should be restarted (see the "Restart values" section below).
This key is optional and defaults to `:permanent`.
* `:shutdown` - an integer or atom that defines how a child process should
be terminated (see the "Shutdown values" section below). This key
is optional and defaults to `5_000` if the type is `:worker` or
`:infinity` if the type is `:supervisor`.
* `:type` - specifies that the child process is a `:worker` or a
`:supervisor`. This key is optional and defaults to `:worker`.
There is a sixth key, `:modules`, which is optional and is rarely changed.
It is set automatically based on the `:start` value.
Let's understand what the `:shutdown` and `:restart` options control.
### Shutdown values (:shutdown)
The following shutdown values are supported in the `:shutdown` option:
* `:brutal_kill` - the child process is unconditionally and immediately
terminated using `Process.exit(child, :kill)`.
* any integer >= 0 - the amount of time in milliseconds that the
supervisor will wait for its children to terminate after emitting a
`Process.exit(child, :shutdown)` signal. If the child process is
not trapping exits, the initial `:shutdown` signal will terminate
the child process immediately. If the child process is trapping
exits, it has the given amount of time to terminate.
If it doesn't terminate within the specified time, the child process
is unconditionally terminated by the supervisor via
`Process.exit(child, :kill)`.
* `:infinity` - works as an integer except the supervisor will wait
indefinitely for the child to terminate. If the child process is a
supervisor, the recommended value is `:infinity` to give the supervisor
and its children enough time to shut down. This option can be used with
regular workers but doing so is discouraged and requires extreme care.
If not used carefully, the child process will never terminate,
preventing your application from terminating as well.
### Restart values (:restart)
The `:restart` option controls what the supervisor should consider to
be a successful termination or not. If the termination is successful,
the supervisor won't restart the child. If the child process crashed,
the supervisor will start a new one.
The following restart values are supported in the `:restart` option:
* `:permanent` - the child process is always restarted.
* `:temporary` - the child process is never restarted, regardless
of the supervision strategy: any termination (even abnormal) is
considered successful.
* `:transient` - the child process is restarted only if it
terminates abnormally, i.e., with an exit reason other than
`:normal`, `:shutdown`, or `{:shutdown, term}`.
For a more complete understanding of the exit reasons and their
impact, see the "Exit reasons and restarts" section.
## child_spec/1
When starting a supervisor, we pass a list of child specifications. Those
specifications are maps that tell how the supervisor should start, stop and
restart each of its children:
%{
id: Stack,
start: {Stack, :start_link, [[:hello]]}
}
The map above defines a child with `:id` of `Stack` that is started
by calling `Stack.start_link([:hello])`.
However, specifying the child specification for each child as a map can be
quite error prone, as we may change the Stack implementation and forget to
update its specification. That's why Elixir allows you to pass a tuple with
the module name and the `start_link` argument instead of the specification:
children = [
{Stack, [:hello]}
]
The supervisor will then invoke `Stack.child_spec([:hello])` to retrieve a
child specification. Now the `Stack` module is responsible for building its
own specification, for example, we could write:
def child_spec(arg) do
%{
id: Stack,
start: {Stack, :start_link, [arg]}
}
end
Luckily for us, `use GenServer` already defines a `Stack.child_spec/1`
exactly like above. If you need to customize the `GenServer`, you can
pass the options directly to `use GenServer`:
use GenServer, restart: :transient
Finally, note it is also possible to simply pass the `Stack` module as
a child:
children = [
Stack
]
When only the module name is given, it is equivalent to `{Stack, []}`.
By replacing the map specification by `{Stack, [:hello]}` or `Stack`, we keep
the child specification encapsulated in the `Stack` module, using the default
implementation defined by `use GenServer`. We can now share our `Stack` worker
with other developers and they can add it directly to their supervision tree
without worrying about the low-level details of the worker.
Overall, the child specification can be one of the following:
* a map representing the child specification itself - as outlined in the
"Child specification" section
* a tuple with a module as first element and the start argument as second -
such as `{Stack, [:hello]}`. In this case, `Stack.child_spec([:hello])`
is called to retrieve the child specification
* a module - such as `Stack`. In this case, `Stack.child_spec([])`
is called to retrieve the child specification
If you need to convert a tuple or a module child specification to a map or
modify a child specification, you can use the `Supervisor.child_spec/2` function.
For example, to run the stack with a different `:id` and a `:shutdown` value of
10 seconds (10_000 milliseconds):
children = [
Supervisor.child_spec({Stack, [:hello]}, id: MyStack, shutdown: 10_000)
]
## Module-based supervisors
In the example above, a supervisor was started by passing the supervision
structure to `start_link/2`. However, supervisors can also be created by
explicitly defining a supervision module:
defmodule MyApp.Supervisor do
# Automatically defines child_spec/1
use Supervisor
def start_link(init_arg) do
Supervisor.start_link(__MODULE__, init_arg, name: __MODULE__)
end
@impl true
def init(_init_arg) do
children = [
{Stack, [:hello]}
]
Supervisor.init(children, strategy: :one_for_one)
end
end
The difference between the two approaches is that a module-based
supervisor gives you more direct control over how the supervisor
is initialized. Instead of calling `Supervisor.start_link/2` with
a list of children that are automatically initialized, we manually
initialized the children by calling `Supervisor.init/2` inside its
`c:init/1` callback.
`use Supervisor` also defines a `child_spec/1` function which allows
us to run `MyApp.Supervisor` as a child of another supervisor or
at the top of your supervision tree as:
children = [
MyApp.Supervisor
]
Supervisor.start_link(children, strategy: :one_for_one)
A general guideline is to use the supervisor without a callback
module only at the top of your supervision tree, generally in the
`c:Application.start/2` callback. We recommend using module-based
supervisors for any other supervisor in your application, so they
can run as a child of another supervisor in the tree. The `child_spec/1`
generated automatically by `Supervisor` can be customized with the
following options:
* `:id` - the child specification identifier, defaults to the current module
* `:restart` - when the supervisor should be restarted, defaults to `:permanent`
The `@doc` annotation immediately preceding `use Supervisor` will be
attached to the generated `child_spec/1` function.
## `start_link/2`, `init/2`, and strategies
So far we have started the supervisor passing a single child as a tuple
as well as a strategy called `:one_for_one`:
children = [
{Stack, [:hello]}
]
Supervisor.start_link(children, strategy: :one_for_one)
or from inside the `c:init/1` callback:
children = [
{Stack, [:hello]}
]
Supervisor.init(children, strategy: :one_for_one)
The first argument given to `start_link/2` and `init/2` is a list of child
specifications as defined in the "child_spec/1" section above.
The second argument is a keyword list of options:
* `:strategy` - the supervision strategy option. It can be either
`:one_for_one`, `:rest_for_one` or `:one_for_all`. Required.
See the "Strategies" section.
* `:max_restarts` - the maximum number of restarts allowed in
a time frame. Defaults to `3`.
* `:max_seconds` - the time frame in which `:max_restarts` applies.
Defaults to `5`.
* `:name` - a name to register the supervisor process. Supported values are
explained in the "Name registration" section in the documentation for
`GenServer`. Optional.
### Strategies
Supervisors support different supervision strategies (through the
`:strategy` option, as seen above):
* `:one_for_one` - if a child process terminates, only that
process is restarted.
* `:one_for_all` - if a child process terminates, all other child
processes are terminated and then all child processes (including
the terminated one) are restarted.
* `:rest_for_one` - if a child process terminates, the terminated child
process and the rest of the children started after it, are terminated and
restarted.
In the above, process termination refers to unsuccessful termination, which
is determined by the `:restart` option.
To dynamically supervise children, see `DynamicSupervisor`.
### Name registration
A supervisor is bound to the same name registration rules as a `GenServer`.
Read more about these rules in the documentation for `GenServer`.
## Start and shutdown
When the supervisor starts, it traverses all child specifications and
then starts each child in the order they are defined. This is done by
calling the function defined under the `:start` key in the child
specification and typically defaults to `start_link/1`.
The `start_link/1` (or a custom) is then called for each child process.
The `start_link/1` function must return `{:ok, pid}` where `pid` is the
process identifier of a new process that is linked to the supervisor.
The child process usually starts its work by executing the `c:init/1`
callback. Generally speaking, the `init` callback is where we initialize
and configure the child process.
The shutdown process happens in reverse order.
When a supervisor shuts down, it terminates all children in the opposite
order they are listed. The termination happens by sending a shutdown exit
signal, via `Process.exit(child_pid, :shutdown)`, to the child process and
then awaiting for a time interval for the child process to terminate. This
interval defaults to 5000 milliseconds. If the child process does not
terminate in this interval, the supervisor abruptly terminates the child
with reason `:kill`. The shutdown time can be configured in the child
specification which is fully detailed in the next section.
If the child process is not trapping exits, it will shutdown immediately
when it receives the first exit signal. If the child process is trapping
exits, then the `terminate` callback is invoked, and the child process
must terminate in a reasonable time interval before being abruptly
terminated by the supervisor.
In other words, if it is important that a process cleans after itself
when your application or the supervision tree is shutting down, then
this process must trap exits and its child specification should specify
the proper `:shutdown` value, ensuring it terminates within a reasonable
interval.
## Exit reasons and restarts
A supervisor restarts a child process depending on its `:restart` configuration.
For example, when `:restart` is set to `:transient`, the supervisor does not
restart the child in case it exits with reason `:normal`, `:shutdown` or
`{:shutdown, term}`.
So one may ask: which exit reason should I choose when exiting? There are
three options:
* `:normal` - in such cases, the exit won't be logged, there is no restart
in transient mode, and linked processes do not exit
* `:shutdown` or `{:shutdown, term}` - in such cases, the exit won't be
logged, there is no restart in transient mode, and linked processes exit
with the same reason unless they're trapping exits
* any other term - in such cases, the exit will be logged, there are
restarts in transient mode, and linked processes exit with the same
reason unless they're trapping exits
Note that the supervisor that reaches maximum restart intensity will exit with
`:shutdown` reason. In this case the supervisor will only be restarted if its
child specification was defined with the `:restart` option set to `:permanent`
(the default).

Starts a supervisor with the given children.
The children is a list of modules, two-element tuples with module and
arguments or a map with the child specification. A strategy is required
to be provided through the `:strategy` option. See
"start_link/2, init/2, and strategies" for examples and other options.
The options can also be used to register a supervisor name.
The supported values are described under the "Name registration"
section in the `GenServer` module docs.
If the supervisor and its child processes are successfully spawned
(if the start function of each child process returns `{:ok, child}`,
`{:ok, child, info}`, or `:ignore`) this function returns
`{:ok, pid}`, where `pid` is the PID of the supervisor. If the supervisor
is given a name and a process with the specified name already exists,
the function returns `{:error, {:already_started, pid}}`, where `pid`
is the PID of that process.
If the start function of any of the child processes fails or returns an error
tuple or an erroneous value, the supervisor first terminates with reason
`:shutdown` all the child processes that have already been started, and then
terminates itself and returns `{:error, {:shutdown, reason}}`.
Note that a supervisor started with this function is linked to the parent
process and exits not only on crashes but also if the parent process exits
with `:normal` reason.
