CKAN 2.7 has introduced a new background job system.
Before version 2.7 (starting from 1.5), CKAN offered a different background job system built around Celery. That system is still available but deprecated and will be removed in future versions of CKAN.
That relates to https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-qa/issues/52 (Upgrade Celery to 3.x) as new jobs are based on RQ (Redis). It seems that instead of upgrading Celery it would be wise to move forward and handle new ckan jobs. @davidread, any thoughts on that?
The celery upgrade is just a quick test to see it all still works as before. I imagine the move to RQ is a lot more involved and updating docs etc. I'd be very pleased if you do either.
