Detailed Description

Describe and execute a background job.

Push jobs onto queues via the JobQueueGroup service.

Job objects must implement IJobSpecification to allow JobQueue to store the job, and later re-constructing the object from storage in a JobRunner.

See the architecture doc for more information.

Member Function Documentation

◆ 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.)
Since
1.27

◆ allowRetries()

Job::allowRetries ( )

Warning
In some setups (i.e. when using change-propagation) jobs may still be retried even when this is false if the job fails due to a timeout unless it is also configured in change-prop config (T358939).
Returns
bool Whether this job can be retried on failure by job runners

◆ factory()

static Job::factory ( $command,
$params = [] )
static

Create the appropriate object to handle a specific job.

Deprecated
since 1.40, use JobFactory instead.
Parameters
string$commandJob command

Returns
Job

◆ 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.

Returns
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
