Hi,
I am working on esql coding to write the code for delaying for 20milliseconds to repost the message in retry mechanism without using timer nodes.
I have written the piece of code below in esql to hold the control in a loop for 20 milli secods, but i am getting a problem. I am providing comment to the result of each statement, what i am getting. Could any one let me know, where or what is the problem?.
DECLARE startTimeStamp TIME;
DECLARE curTimeStamp TIME;
DECLARE outTime TIME;
SET startTimeStamp = CURRENT_TIME; -- Result of this statement: 10:34:22:124
SET outTime = EVAL('startTimeStamp + INTERVAL ''0.02'' SECOND');-- Result of this statement: 10:34:22:144(Incremented with 20 Milli seconds)
SET curTimeStamp = CURRENT_TIME;-- Result of this statement: 10:34:22:124(Getting the same result 'startTimeStamp')
WHILE outTime >= curTimeStamp DO
SET curTimeStamp = CURRENT_TIME;-- Result of this statement: 10:34:22:124(Getting the same result 'startTimeStamp', Its going to infinite loop. Because CURRENT_TIME is not returning the correct value from second time onwards.)
END WHILE;
Thanks,
Veera Kumar |

The problem is you're not reading this, which clearly says:

CURRENT_TIME (and friends) always return the same value through the entire node. This is documented behaviour...

One other point: a busy-wait loop is probably the worst way to delay processing within a thread. Other threads might want some CPU time too.
Use the Timer nodes, or perhaps write a wrapper function to call Java's Thread.sleep(). |

Does it have this below v7?

No, SLEEP is new in 7.0.0.1
