Detailed Description

Interface for serializable objects that describe a job queue task.

A job specification can be inserted into a queue via JobQueue::push(). The specification parameters should be JSON serializable (e.g. no PHP classes). Whatever queue the job specification is pushed into is assumed to have job runners that will eventually pop the job specification from the queue, construct a RunnableJob instance from the specification, and then execute that instance via RunnableJob::run().

◆ getDeduplicationInfo()

IJobSpecification::getDeduplicationInfo ( )

Subclasses may need to override this to make duplication detection work.

The resulting map conveys everything that makes the job unique. This is only checked if ignoreDuplicates() returns true, meaning that duplicate jobs are supposed to be ignored.

Returns
array Map of key/values

Implemented in Job, AssembleUploadChunksJob, CategoryMembershipChangeJob, ClearUserWatchlistJob, HTMLCacheUpdateJob, PublishStashedFileJob, RefreshLinksJob, and JobSpecification.

◆ getParams()

IJobSpecification::getParams ( )
Returns
array Parameters that specify sources, targets, and options for execution

Implemented in Job, and JobSpecification.

◆ getReleaseTimestamp()

IJobSpecification::getReleaseTimestamp ( )
Returns
int|null UNIX timestamp to delay running this job until, otherwise null

Implemented in Job, and JobSpecification.

◆ getRootJobParams()

IJobSpecification::getRootJobParams ( )

JobQueue::deduplicateRootJob()
Returns
array
Since
1.26

Implemented in Job, and JobSpecification.

◆ getType()

IJobSpecification::getType ( )
Returns
string Job type that defines what sort of changes this job makes

Returns
bool
Since

Implemented in Job, and JobSpecification.

◆ ignoreDuplicates()

IJobSpecification::ignoreDuplicates ( )
Returns
bool Whether only one of each identical set of jobs should be run

Implemented in Job, and JobSpecification.
