class MQClientClosedError(Exception):

    The client can be closed, which closes the ZMQ context. This normally
    happens on server shutdown. In some cases, methods like abort and
    do_log_stats will still be called and then try to open a socket, which
    causes a ZMQError and creates a huge stack trace.
    So, we throw this error such that we can suppress it.

class MQLLMEngineClient(EngineClient):
    """A client wrapper for MQLLMEngine that conforms to the
    EngineClient protocol.

    MQLLMEngine and MQLLMEngineClient are intended to run in separate
    processes communicating via zeromq ipc sockets.

    The entrypoint to MQLLMEngineClient is through the generate()
    method. On generate() MQLLMEngine does three things:
        - Creates an asyncio output queue
        - Sends a RPCGenerateRequest to the MQLLMEngine via zmq
        - Pulls RequestOutputs from its queue and yields them

    MQLLMEngine runs two background loops:
        - output_loop: the output loop pulls List[RequestOutput]
            from the MQLLMEngine via zmq (each list is the output
            of one engine_step in the LLMEngine). It then parses
            the list and pushes individual request_outputs into
            the corresponding output_queue such that they can be
            consumed by the .generate() method.
        - health_loop: the health loop queries the health socket
            every N seconds, confirming the engine is healthy
