PluginHelper provides utilities to write plugins:

  • high level methods to hide underlying features and options (e.g., threads, cool.io, ...)
  • pre-configured suite nice to use in plugin code (e.g., threads marked as abort_on_exception in default)
  • well organized test driver integration (in future): test code runs after threads start to run correctly (no more sleeps in test code!)

And change Fluent::Plugin from class to module (because it can't be instantiated) and add Fluent::Plugin::Base class as a base class of all plugins, to define methods for plugin life cycles which are used from plugin helpers.

First bunch is for:

  • EventEmitter: handles @router (will be loaded by input plugins in default)
    • to separate output plugin from input plugin
    • to show which output plugins may emit records explicitly
  • Thread: create/manage threads
  • EventLoop: create/manage event loops of cool.io (event loop per plugin instance)
  • Timer: no more threads/sleeps for timers in plugin code
  • ChildProcess: handle process execution and terminating

Yes. This is to initialize lines in logger between tests.

Resetting this value is needed?
If needed, nil is better?

Correct. nil is better.
In basic design of new plugin API, plugins should be re-initialized after terminate. It's good for many things including tests.
