Yeah inspecting data currently on the tube would be great. We currently fake this by iterating through the whole tube and putting jobs back at lower priority. It isn't clean or nice, but we have to be able to go through tubes and removed jobs that were created in a error or problematic case. Occasionally we have a problem that creates thousands of bad jobs, and we don't want to loose other peoples good jobs just by emptying the whole queue.
I think you are correct that most of their feature requests do come down to that single request. peace, Dan Mayer Co-founder, Devver.net (http://devver.net) http://twitter.com/devver http://mayerdan.com http://twitter.com/danmayer On Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 4:52 PM, Keith Rarick <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 10:28 AM, Dustin <[email protected]> wrote: >> Github did a post on their queuing system (including things they >> didn't like when they ran beanstalkd).
