Detailed Description

Class to both describe a background job and handle jobs.

To push jobs onto queues, use MediaWikiServices::getInstance()->getJobQueueGroup()->push();

Job objects are constructed by the job queue, and must have an appropriate constructor signature; see IJobSpecification.

◆ addTeardownCallback()

Job::addTeardownCallback ( $callback)
protected
Parameters
callable$callbackA function with one parameter, the success status, which will be false if the job failed or it succeeded but the DB changes could not be committed or any deferred updates threw an exception. (This parameter was added in 1.28.)

◆ getDeduplicationInfo()

Job::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.

◆ ignoreDuplicates()

Job::ignoreDuplicates ( )

Whether the queue should reject insertion of this job if a duplicate exists.

This can be used to avoid duplicated effort or combined with delayed jobs to coalesce updates into larger batches. Claimed jobs are never treated as duplicates of new jobs, and some queues may allow a few duplicates due to network partitions and fail-over. Thus, additional locking is needed to enforce mutual exclusion if this is really needed.

bool

References hasRootJobParams().

◆ newRootJobParams()

static Job::newRootJobParams ( $key)
static

Get "root job" parameters for a task.

This is used to no-op redundant jobs, including child jobs of jobs, as long as the children inherit the root job parameters. When a job with root job parameters and "rootJobIsSelf" set is pushed, the deduplicateRootJob() method is automatically called on it. If the root job is only virtual and not actually pushed (e.g. the sub-jobs are inserted directly), then call deduplicateRootJob() directly.

See also
JobQueue::deduplicateRootJob()
Parameters
string$keyA key that identifies the task
Returns
array Map of:
  • rootJobIsSelf : true
  • rootJobSignature : hash (e.g. SHA1) that identifies the task
  • rootJobTimestamp : TS_MW timestamp of this instance of the task
