Batcher
======

Batcher is a tiny gem that allows you to batch process data and slice it by whatever you require.

It was extracted from [Stattleship](http://stattleship.com).

Why
---

Processing ActiveRecord data is impossible with large amounts of data because the memory footprint of tons of ActiveRecord objects is too large and unmanagable. ActiveRecord models provide a `find_each` method for batch processing of data; unfortunately it only allows you to slice the data by primary key.

Example
-------

Batcher accepts an object that responds to `count`, `limit` and `offset` (a subset of the [Active Record Query Interface](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_querying.html)).

Typically, you pass it an instance of `ActiveRecord::Relation`.

```ruby
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
end

Batcher(User.order('influence desc')).each do |user|
user.do_something
end
```

The default batch size is 1000, but you can pass in a different batch size to tweak accordingly:

```ruby
Batcher(User.order('influence desc'), batch_size: 2000).each do |user|
user.do_something
end
```

Note that batcher uses [Enumerator](http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.2/Enumerator.html). Therefore it is only supported on Ruby 1.9+.
