并行运行 RSelenium

Question

我将如何并行运行RSelenium。

以下是并行使用rvest的示例

library(RSelenium)
library(rvest)
library(magrittr)
library(foreach)
library(doParallel)

URLsPar <- c("http://www.example.com/", "http://s5.tinypic.com/n392s6_th.jpg", "http://s5.tinypic.com/jl1jex_th.jpg",
         "http://s6.tinypic.com/16abj1s_th.jpg", "http://s6.tinypic.com/2ymvpqa_th.jpg")

(detectCores() - 1) %>%  makeCluster %>% registerDoParallel

ws <- foreach(x = 1:length(URLsPar), .packages = c("rvest", "magrittr", "RSelenium"))  %dopar%  {
      URLsPar[x] %>% read_html %>% as("character")}

stopImplicitCluster()

Answer 1

在集群中的每个节点上启动一个remoteDriver：

library(RSelenium)
library(rvest)
library(magrittr)
library(foreach)
library(doParallel)

URLsPar <- c("http://www.bbc.com/", "http://www.cnn.com", "http://www.google.com",
             "http://www.yahoo.com", "http://www.twitter.com")
appHTML <- c()
# start a Selenium Server
selServ <- startServer()

(cl <- (detectCores() - 1) %>%  makeCluster) %>% registerDoParallel
# open a remoteDriver for each node on the cluster
clusterEvalQ(cl, {
  library(RSelenium)
  remDr <- remoteDriver()
  remDr$open()
})
myTitles <- c()
ws <- foreach(x = 1:length(URLsPar), .packages = c("rvest", "magrittr", "RSelenium"))  %dopar%  {
  remDr$navigate(URLsPar[x])
  remDr$getTitle()[[1]]
}

# close browser on each node
clusterEvalQ(cl, {
  remDr$close()
})

stopImplicitCluster()
# stop Selenium Server
selServ$stop()
