Instead of forcing the callback proc at the end of the threads execution, why not just let people call the callback proc when they want to?

If I understand this correctly, you should be able to call the callback proc multiple times within a thread if you want?

Hmm, true:

in meta_worker.rb:

  ActiveRecord::Base.verify_active_connections!
- result = (block_arity == 0 ? task.block.call : task.block.call(*(task.data)))
+ data = (task.data.is_a?(Array)) ? *(task.data) : task.data
+ result = (block_arity == 0 ? task.block.call : task.block.call(data))

Hi!

I was trying out fetch_parallely earlier today and I noticed that if args is a hash, foo ends up being an array of key/value pair arrays. For example, {:a => :b, :c => :d} turns into [[:a, :b], [:c, :d]].

Any ideas why that would be happening?
