I really enjoyed this talk. Would make a great article. I wonder whether i understand the motivation behind "sequence" numbers correctly: we cannot just timestamp worker entities and then churn through them chronologically because instance times can be wildly out of sync? If that's the case, how can i trust the eta parameter when creating task objects?
Is the possibility of a worker / task race condition really greater than the risk of the memcache lock disappearing? Is it at all possible that the memcache lock will disappear in this scenario, and if so how can we survive this edge case? Sorry if this is a duplicate post - It seems the question i asked earlier got lost in google groups weirdness. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
