```python
from rst_queue import AsyncQueue

def worker(item_id, data):
    return f"processed_{data.decode()}".encode()

# Create queue
queue = AsyncQueue(mode=1)  # Parallel mode

# Push items
for i in range(100):
    queue.push(f"item_{i}".encode())

# Process with 4 workers
queue.start_with_results(worker, num_workers=4)

# Get all results
results = queue.get_batch(100)
print(f"Processed {len(results)} items")
```

**Result:** 2.97M items/sec (vs 1.55M for asyncio) ⚡

## ✨ Key Features

### 🎯 3 Queue Types (Choose Based on Your Needs)

```
┌─────────────────────┬──────────────────┬──────────────────┐
│   AsyncQueue        │ AsyncPriority    │ AsyncPersistence │
│   (In-Memory)       │ Queue (Priority) │ Queue (Durable)  │
├─────────────────────┼──────────────────┼──────────────────┤
│ 2.97M items/sec     │ 1.16M items/sec  │ 990K items/sec   │
│ No persistence      │ Priority ordered │ Crash-safe ✅    │
│ Fastest             │ Smart ordering   │ Full durability  │
└─────────────────────┴──────────────────┴──────────────────┘
```

### 🔄 2 Execution Modes (Choose Based on Load)

```
Sequential Mode (mode=0)          |  Parallel Mode (mode=1)
Single worker, ordered processing |  Multiple workers, distributed load
Best: 1.66M items/sec             |  Best: 6.67M items/sec (4 workers)
Use: Single-thread ops            |  Use: High-throughput tasks
```

### 📊 Real-Time Statistics Tracking

```python
stats = queue.get_stats()
print(f"Pushed: {stats.total_pushed}")      # Items added
print(f"Processed: {stats.total_processed}") # Items completed
print(f"Consumed: {stats.total_removed}")    # Results retrieved
print(f"Errors: {stats.total_errors}")       # Failed items
print(f"Active Workers: {stats.active_workers}")
```

### 🔓 Result Retrieval Options

| Method | Behavior | Use Case |
|--------|----------|----------|
| `get()` | Non-blocking, returns None if empty | Polling-style |
| `get_batch(n)` | Get up to n results | Batch processing |
| `get_blocking()` | Waits for next result | Sequential consumption |

### ✅ Dual API Support

- **Identical API** on all 3 queue types → Easy switching
- Works **standalone** with Python (3.8+)
- **Zero external dependencies** needed
- **Cross-platform**: Windows, macOS, Linux

---

### 🔵 Queue Type 1: AsyncQueue (In-Memory, Fastest)

**Perfect For:** Real-time processing, temporary buffers, log streaming

#### Sequential Example (1.66M items/sec)

```python
from rst_queue import AsyncQueue

queue = AsyncQueue(mode=0)  # Single worker

for i in range(1000):
    queue.push(f"item_{i}".encode())

queue.start_with_results(
    lambda item_id, data: data.upper(),
    num_workers=1
)

while result := queue.get():
    print(f"Result: {result.result.decode()}")
```

#### Parallel Example (6.67M items/sec with 4 workers)

```python
queue = AsyncQueue(mode=1)  # Multi-worker

queue.push_batch([f"item_{i}".encode() for i in range(10000)])

queue.start_with_results(
    lambda item_id, data: f"done_{data.decode()}".encode(),
    num_workers=4  # 4 workers = 4x throughput!
)

# Batch retrieval is 10-50x faster
results = queue.get_batch(1000)
```

| Metric | Sequential | Parallel (4w) |
|--------|-----------|---------------|
| Throughput | 1.66M/sec | **6.67M/sec** |
| Latency | <1µs | <2µs |
| Workers | 1 | 4 |
| Best for | Order-critical | Raw speed |

---

### 🟢 Queue Type 2: AsyncPriorityQueue (Priority-Ordered)

**Perfect For:** Job scheduling, task prioritization, SLA management

#### Sequential Example (917K items/sec)

```python
from rst_queue import AsyncPriorityQueue

queue = AsyncPriorityQueue(mode=0, storage_path="./temp")

# Push tasks with priorities (higher = processed first)
queue.push_with_priority(b"critical_fix", priority=10)
queue.push_with_priority(b"feature_request", priority=5)
queue.push_with_priority(b"documentation", priority=1)

queue.start_with_results(
    lambda item_id, data, priority: f"done_{data}".encode(),
    num_workers=1
)

# Results processed in priority order (10 → 5 → 1)
result = queue.get_blocking()
```

#### Parallel Example (730K items/sec with smart priorities)

```python
import random

queue = AsyncPriorityQueue(mode=1, storage_path="./priority")

# Mix of priority levels
for i in range(10000):
    priority = random.choice([1, 5, 10])  # Low, Medium, High
    queue.push_with_priority(f"task_{i}".encode(), priority)

queue.start_with_results(
    lambda id, data, priority: data.upper(),
    num_workers=4
)

# Workers process by priority while distributing load
batch = queue.get_batch(100)
```

| Metric | Sequential | Parallel (4w) |
|--------|-----------|---------------|
| Throughput | 917K/sec | **730K/sec** |
| Latency | <2µs | <3µs |
| Ordering | Priority | Priority |
| Best for | Task queue | Load balancing |

---

### 🔴 Queue Type 3: AsyncPersistenceQueue (Durable, Crash-Safe)

**Perfect For:** Payment processing, order handling, mission-critical data

> ⚠️ **This is the ONLY queue type with durability!** Data survives crashes.

#### Sequential Example (990K items/sec WITH durability!)

```python
from rst_queue import AsyncPersistenceQueue

# Data stored in Sled database
queue = AsyncPersistenceQueue(mode=0, storage_path="./payments")

# Push payments (persisted to disk + WAL)
payments = [b"payment_$1000", b"payment_$2500", b"payment_$500"]
for payment in payments:
    queue.push(payment)

queue.start_with_results(
    lambda id, data: f"confirmed_{data.decode()}".encode(),
    num_workers=1
)

# Even if app crashes, data is safe!
# On restart: queue automatically recovers unprocessed items
```

#### Parallel Example (477K items/sec, fully durable)

```python
queue = AsyncPersistenceQueue(mode=1, storage_path="./orders")

# Bulk load orders
orders = [f"order_{i:05d}".encode() for i in range(100000)]
queue.push_batch(orders)

queue.start_with_results(
    lambda id, data: f"shipped_{data.decode()}".encode(),
    num_workers=4
)

# 4 workers + full durability = production-ready
processed = 0
while processed < len(orders):
    batch = queue.get_batch(1000)
    if batch:
        processed += len(batch)
```

| Metric | Sequential | Parallel (4w) |
|--------|-----------|---------------|
| Throughput | **990K/sec** 💾 | **477K/sec** 💾 |
| Durability | ✅ Full WAL | ✅ Full WAL |
| Crash Recovery | ✅ Auto | ✅ Auto |
| Best for | Critical ops | Long-running |

### AsyncQueue

#### Constructor

```python
AsyncQueue(mode: int = 1, buffer_size: int = 128)
```

- `mode`: Execution mode
  - `0` or `ExecutionMode.SEQUENTIAL`: Process items one at a time
  - `1` or `ExecutionMode.PARALLEL`: Process items in parallel
- `buffer_size`: Internal channel buffer capacity

#### Methods

##### `push(data: bytes) -> str`
Add a bytes object to the queue.

- `data: bytes` - The item data
- **Returns**: `str` - A unique GUID (UUID) for this item

**Use Cases:** Track, cancel, or deduplicate items

```python
queue = AsyncQueue(mode=1)

# Push and get the GUID
guid = queue.push(b"Hello")  # Returns: "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"
print(f"Item GUID: {guid}")

# Store GUID to track the item
order_guid = queue.push(json.dumps({"order_id": 123}).encode())
print(f"Order GUID: {order_guid}")
```

##### `push_batch(data_list: List[bytes]) -> List[str]`
Push multiple items at once (10-50x faster than individual pushes).

- `data_list: List[bytes]` - List of items to push
- **Returns**: `List[str]` - List of GUIDs (one per item)

```python
items = [b"item_1", b"item_2", b"item_3"]
guids = queue.push_batch(items)  # Returns list of GUIDs
print(f"Pushed {len(guids)} items")
for guid in guids:
    print(f"  GUID: {guid}")
```

##### `remove_by_guid(guid: str) -> bool`
Remove an item from queue by its GUID (before it's processed).

- `guid: str` - The GUID returned from `push()` or `push_batch()`
- **Returns**: `True` if found and removed, `False` if not found or already processed

**Use Cases:** Cancel orders, cancel jobs, abort operations

```python
queue = AsyncQueue(mode=1)

# Push order and get its GUID
order_guid = queue.push(b"order_data")

# Cancel order before it ships
if queue.remove_by_guid(order_guid):
    print("✅ Order cancelled")
else:
    print("❌ Order already shipped")
```

##### `is_guid_active(guid: str) -> bool`
Check if a GUID is still active (not removed).

- `guid: str` - The GUID to check
- **Returns**: `True` if GUID is active, `False` if removed

```python
order_guid = queue.push(b"order_data")

if queue.is_guid_active(order_guid):
    print("Order is still in queue")
else:
    print("Order was removed")
```

##### `start(worker: Callable, num_workers: int = 1) -> None`
Start processing items with a worker function.

- `worker`: Function with signature `(item_id: int, data: bytes) -> None`
- `num_workers`: Number of parallel workers (ignored in sequential mode)

```python
def my_worker(item_id, data):
    print(f"Processing {item_id}: {data}")

queue.start(my_worker, num_workers=4)
```

##### `get_mode() -> int`
Get current execution mode (0 or 1).

##### `set_mode(mode: int) -> None`
Change execution mode (0 or 1).

##### `total_pushed() -> int`
Get total items pushed to queue.

##### `total_processed() -> int`
Get total items successfully processed.

##### `total_errors() -> int`
Get total errors during processing.

##### `active_workers() -> int`
Get number of currently active workers.

##### `get_stats() -> QueueStats`
Get comprehensive queue statistics as a snapshot.

**Returns**: QueueStats object with:
- `total_pushed` - Total items added to queue
- `total_processed` - Total items processed by workers  
- `total_removed` - Total items consumed with get()/get_batch()/get_blocking()
- `total_errors` - Processing errors encountered
- `active_workers` - Currently active worker threads

```python
stats = queue.get_stats()
print(f"Pushed:     {stats.total_pushed}")
print(f"Processed:  {stats.total_processed}")
print(f"Consumed:   {stats.total_removed}")      # NEW!
print(f"Errors:     {stats.total_errors}")
print(f"Workers:    {stats.active_workers}")
print(f"\n{stats}")  # Pretty print: QueueStats(total_pushed=5, ...)
```

**Use Cases**:
- Monitor queue health and processing progress
- Detect stalled workers or bottlenecks
- Track result consumption vs production
- Validate all items were processed and consumed

##### `start_with_results(worker: Callable, num_workers: int = 1) -> None`
Start processing items with a worker that returns results.

- `worker`: Function with signature `(item_id: int, data: bytes) -> bytes`
- `num_workers`: Number of parallel workers (ignored in sequential mode)
- Results are stored in an internal result queue and can be retrieved using `get()` or `get_blocking()`

```python
def result_worker(item_id, data):
    processed = b"Result: " + data
    return processed

queue = AsyncQueue(mode=1, buffer_size=128)
queue.push(b"data1")
queue.push(b"data2")

queue.start_with_results(result_worker, num_workers=4)

# Retrieve results...
```

##### `get() -> ProcessedResult | None`
Non-blocking retrieval of a processed result.

- Returns: `ProcessedResult` if available, `None` if no result ready
- Does not block; useful for polling-style result retrieval

```python
result = queue.get()
if result:
    print(f"Got result for item {result.id}: {result.result}")
else:
    print("No result available yet")
```

##### `get_blocking() -> ProcessedResult`
Blocking retrieval of a processed result.

- Blocks until a result is available
- Useful for sequential processing or when you know results are coming

```python
# This will block until a result is available
result = queue.get_blocking()
print(f"Item {result.id}: {result.result.decode()}")
```

### ProcessedResult

Represents a processed item returned from a result-returning worker.

**Properties:**
- `id: int` - The item ID that was processed
- `result: bytes` - The result data from the worker
- `error: str | None` - Error message if one occurred (None for success)

**Methods:**
- `is_error() -> bool` - Returns True if the result represents an error

```python
result = queue.get()
if result.is_error():
    print(f"Error processing item {result.id}: {result.error}")
else:
    print(f"Success: {result.result.decode()}")
```

## Error Handling

```python
from rst_queue import AsyncQueue

def safe_worker(item_id, data):
    try:
        result = process_item(data)
        print(f"[{item_id}] Success: {result}")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"[{item_id}] Error: {e}")
        # Errors in worker functions don't stop the queue

queue = AsyncQueue(mode=1, buffer_size=128)
queue.push(b"data1")
queue.push(b"data2")

queue.start(safe_worker, num_workers=4)
```

### Error Handling with Results

```python
from rst_queue import AsyncQueue

def worker_with_error_handling(item_id, data):
    try:
        if b"invalid" in data:
            raise ValueError("Invalid data")
        return b"Success: " + data
    except Exception as e:
        raise Exception(f"Error: {e}")

queue = AsyncQueue()
queue.push(b"valid_data")
queue.push(b"invalid_data")

queue.start_with_results(worker_with_error_handling, num_workers=2)

# Retrieve and check results
while True:
    result = queue.get()
    if result:
        if result.is_error():
            print(f"Error for item {result.id}: {result.error}")
        else:
            print(f"Success for item {result.id}: {result.result}")
    else:
        break
```

## 🔑 GUID-Based Item Tracking & Cancellation

### Understanding GUIDs

Every item you push to the queue gets an **auto-generated GUID** (UUID). Use it to:
- **Cancel items**: Remove items from queue before they're processed
- **Track items**: Know which items are in the queue
- **Check status**: Verify if an item is still active or was removed

### Workflow: Push → Get GUID → Remove if needed

```python
from rst_queue import AsyncQueue
import time

queue = AsyncQueue(mode=1)

# Step 1: Push item and capture its GUID
order_guid = queue.push(b'order_123_data')  # Returns: "550e8400-e29b..."
print(f"Order GUID: {order_guid}")

# Step 2: Later, check if item is still active
if queue.is_guid_active(order_guid):
    print("Order is in queue, not yet shipped")
else:
    print("Order was cancelled or already shipped")

# Step 3: Cancel order before it's processed
if queue.remove_by_guid(order_guid):
    print("✅ Order cancelled successfully")
else:
    print("❌ Order already shipped (cannot cancel)")
```

### Real-World Examples

#### Example 1: Order Cancellation

```python
from rst_queue import AsyncQueue
import time

def process_order(item_id, data):
    # Simulate order processing (shipping, payment, etc.)
    time.sleep(1)
    return b"Order processed: " + data

queue = AsyncQueue(mode=1)

# Customer places 3 orders and store their GUIDs
order_guids = []
for i in range(1, 4):
    order_guid = queue.push(f'item_{i}_qty5_price{i*100}'.encode())
    order_guids.append((i, order_guid))

queue.start_with_results(process_order, num_workers=2)

# Customer cancels order 2 immediately (before it ships)
order_num, guid_to_cancel = order_guids[1]
if queue.remove_by_guid(guid_to_cancel):
    print(f"✅ Order {order_num} cancelled before processing")
else:
    print(f"❌ Order {order_num} already shipped")
```

#### Example 2: Track Processing Status

```python
from rst_queue import AsyncQueue
import time

queue = AsyncQueue(mode=1)

def process_data(item_id, data):
    time.sleep(0.5)  # Simulate work
    return data.upper()

# Push 5 items and track their GUIDs
item_guids = []
for i in range(5):
    guid = queue.push(f'item_{i}'.encode())
    item_guids.append(guid)
    print(f"Pushed item {i} with GUID: {guid}")

queue.start_with_results(process_data, num_workers=2)

# Check which items are still active
for i, guid in enumerate(item_guids):
    is_active = queue.is_guid_active(guid)
    status = "Still in queue" if is_active else "Removed/Processed"
    print(f"Item {i}: {status}")
```

#### Example 3: Payment Processing with Cancellation

```python
from rst_queue import AsyncPersistenceQueue
import time

def process_payment(item_id, data):
    payment_info = data.decode()
    # Persistent storage ensures payment is not lost even if app crashes
    time.sleep(0.5)  # Simulate payment processing
    return b"Payment processed"

# Use persistent queue for payments (critical data)
queue = AsyncPersistenceQueue(mode=1, storage_path="./payments")

# Customer initiates payment
payment_guid = queue.push(b'customer_123:amount_500:card_****1234')
print(f"Payment GUID: {payment_guid}")

queue.start_with_results(process_payment, num_workers=1)

time.sleep(0.2)  # Short delay to show cancellation works

# Customer cancels payment before it processes
if queue.remove_by_guid(payment_guid):
    print("✅ Payment cancelled successfully")
else:
    print("❌ Payment already processed (cannot cancel)")
```

#### Example 4: Batch Processing with GUID Tracking

```python
from rst_queue import AsyncQueue

queue = AsyncQueue(mode=1)

# Push batch of items and get all GUIDs
items = [b'order_1', b'order_2', b'order_3', b'order_4', b'order_5']
order_guids = queue.push_batch(items)  # Returns list of GUIDs

print(f"Pushed {len(order_guids)} orders")
for i, guid in enumerate(order_guids):
    print(f"  Order {i+1} GUID: {guid}")

# Cancel specific orders
guids_to_cancel = order_guids[1:3]  # Cancel orders 2 and 3
for guid in guids_to_cancel:
    if queue.remove_by_guid(guid):
        print(f"✅ Cancelled: {guid}")
    else:
        print(f"❌ Already processed: {guid}")
```

### AsyncPersistenceQueue

**Identical API to AsyncQueue, but with Sled persistence.**

#### Constructor

```python
AsyncPersistenceQueue(
    mode: int = 1,
    buffer_size: int = 128,
    storage_path: str = "./queue_storage"
)
```

- `mode`: Execution mode (0=Sequential, 1=Parallel)
- `buffer_size`: Internal buffer capacity
- `storage_path`: Path to Sled database directory (created automatically)

#### Key Differences from AsyncQueue

1. **Persistent Storage**: Items are encoded and stored in Sled KV database
2. **Survival**: Queue state survives application restart
3. **Storage Path**: Specify where data is persisted
4. **Same API**: All methods identical to AsyncQueue

#### Usage Example

```python
from rst_queue import AsyncPersistenceQueue
import time

def worker(item_id, data):
    return data.upper()

# Create persistent queue
queue = AsyncPersistenceQueue(
    mode=1,
    buffer_size=128,
    storage_path="./critical_queue"
)

# Same operations as AsyncQueue
queue.push(b"important_data")
queue.start_with_results(worker, num_workers=4)

stats = queue.get_stats()
print(f"Pushed: {stats.total_pushed}")
print(f"Processed: {stats.total_processed}")

# Data is stored in ./critical_queue/ on disk
# Survives application restart!
```

#### Storage Structure

Sled creates the following structure in the storage directory:

```
./critical_queue/
├── db                    # Main Sled database file
├── conf                  # Configuration
└── blobs/               # Large data storage
```

Data is encoded and persisted in the Sled key-value store, surviv application restarts.
