Ability to see all running jobs for similar method

[ibrahim12]

Currently there is no way to search or query all jobs for a similar method other then fetch all jobs and map in python.

What about having that functionality ? May be storing job ids by method.

Code example

def add(a, b):
   return a+ b

def minus(a, b):
  return a + b

> queue.get_jobs_for(add)

add(1, 2)
add(2, 3)
add(4, 5)

> queue.get_jobs_for(minus)

minus(2, 3)
minus(4, 5)
minus(6, 7)

No, at the moment we don't keep track of job types. This would be something that I'm looking to add in the future.

I would be happy to discuss about the changes required and work on it if you are interested

My initial thinking is that we can have something like a JobTypeRegistry which contains job IDs and their expiration time.

Similar to StartedJobRegistry and other registry types, we'll have one Registry for each type of job and queue combination. So if you have jobs foo and bar, there will be two registries, each containing job IDs and their expiration times (if any).

So if we have n job types, then we would require n (registry + queue combination).

Do you think this will scale with larger job types ?
