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().

Job classes must have a constructor that takes a Title and a parameter array, except when they also implement GenericParameterJob in which case they must only take an array. When reconstructing the job from the job queue, the value returned from getParams() will be passed in as the constructor's array parameter; the title will be constructed from the parameter array's namespace and title fields (when these are omitted, some fallback title will be used).

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
