Don't forget about the potentials of a priority based queue! (That being said I actually have no idea what goes into our job queues; so can't say if there's good candidates for priority based queuing.)

I know Aaron has spent a lot of time on the job queue. But I have several observations and would like some feedback. The current workers apparently select jobs from the queue at random. A FIFO method would make far more sense. We have some jobs that can sit there in the queue for extended periods of time, while others added after that point may get completed in mere few minutes.
Well random is not the only method. There is also timestamp based and FIFO. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
