Job Engine #3

Closed Twometer closed 5 years ago

Twometer commented 5 years ago

The new job engine aims to implement

Job scheduling while maintaining their correct order
Retrying them as neccessary in the correct order
A nice API with await to make implementing new jobs easy

It fully replaces the old tasking engine

Twometer commented 5 years ago

At the moment there is no API to cancel jobs. To do so, the engine would have to know about "child jobs", so that if you cancel the parent "send message with file" job, all subsequent tasks started by that task can also be cancelled, but I can implement this tomorrow.

For downloading I could just use a separate job engine instance if needed.
