defmodule Workex do
@moduledoc """
A behaviour which separates message receiving and aggregating from message processing.
Example:
defmodule Consumer do
use Workex
# Interface functions are invoked inside client processes
def start_link do
Workex.start_link(__MODULE__, nil)
end
def push(pid, item) do
Workex.push(pid, item)
end
# Callback functions run in the worker process
def init(_), do: {:ok, nil}
def handle(data, state) do
Processor.long_op(data)
{:ok, state}
end
end
The `callback` module must export following functions:
- init/1 - receives `arg` and should return `{:ok, initial_state}` or `{:stop, reason}`.
- handle/2 - receives aggregated messages and the state, and should return `{:ok, new_state}`
or `{:stop, reason}`.
The `Workex` starts two processes. The one returned by `Workex.start_link/4` is the "facade"
process which can be used as the target for messages. This is also the process which aggregates
messages.
Callback functions will run in the worker process, which is started by the "main" process.
Thus, consuming is done concurrently to message aggregation.
Both processes are linked, and the main process traps exits. Termination of the worker process
will cause the main process to terminate with the same exit reason.

Starts aggregator and worker processes.
Possible options are:
- `aggregate` - Aggregation instance. Defaults to `%Workex.Queue{}`. Must implement `Workex.Aggregated`.
- `max_size` - Maximum number of messages in the buffer after which new messages are discarded.
- `replace_oldest` - Alters behavior of `max_size`. When the buffer is full, new message replaces the
oldest one.
