Changes for version 1.00

  • !!! This is a major upgrade that changes API. It's strongly advised to study revised documentation and update your code where necessary !!!
  • CHANGES:
  • Needs Redis server version 2.6 or higher as module uses Redis Lua scripting.
  • Improved handling of transactions.
  • Method Redis::JobQueue::Job->job_attributes returns a sorted list.
  • Fields 'result' and 'workload': It is possible to use any data structure (SCALAR, HASH, ARRAY, OBJECT). It is automatically serialized. Allowable size of the data is determined based on the size of the serialized string.
  • Added standard job fields: Times when job was: 'created', 'started', 'completed', 'updated' (user settable), Job 'progress' (0...1) and arbitrary status 'message'. Appropriate methods added.
  • The job 'updated' field automatically changes with every change to a job.
  • Added a method 'Redis::JobQueue::Job->elapsed'.
  • A set of constants to reflect job status: CREATED, WORKING, FAILED, COMPLETED, the user can specify own value for status. Moved from module Redis::JobQueue to module Redis::JobQueue::Job.
  • Added working with the jobs metadata (additional information related to the job): It is automatically serialized. Methods 'Redis::JobQueue::Job->meta_data', 'Redis::JobQueue->get_job_meta_fields'.
  • Constant MAX_DATASIZE moved to module Redis::JobQueue.
  • No longer used constants EMAXMEMORYPOLICY, STATUS_DELETED, EXPIRE_DELETED.
  • Added a method 'queue_status' for monitoring the state of the queue.
  • Method 'get_job_status' removed. Method 'get_job_data' added instead for receiving data from the standard set of fields.
  • Method 'delete_job' removes Redis data structures that are associated with the job.
  • Method 'get_jobs' renamed to 'get_job_ids'. Jobs can be filtered by queue name or status.
  • Method 'add_job' updates Redis::JobQueue::Job object, if it was passed as the first argument.
  • 'encoding => undef' for Redis used, if 'new' invoked without the first argument being an object of 'Redis::JobQueue' or 'Redis' class.
  • Exception for not serialized utf8 text fields, when Redis object set to 'encoding => undef'.
  • Added test using 'utf8' data (t/01_JobQueue/t_utf8.t).
  • Added new functionality testing.
  • Change to user-friendly constant names.
