thread_join "wait till finish"This cookbook aims to provide raw parallization using standard ruby threads, without any mutex or any other data integrety support. Long running commands, like downloading tar balls, writing large files, or waiting for any ther network resource is typical use case.
Currently two resources are offered as part of this cookbooks. The reource thread is used for parallelization , it accepts a block, which can have any valid chef resources. thread resource creates a sub resource context and runs a parallel convergence in with the given block in a separate thread.
The second resource thread_join is used for joining back the thread. This is a blocking call, and it will pause the excution till the threads are finished. You must specify this resource. Else bad things can happen
