Für the concrete scenario at hand you could have the low prio Update events 
carry a If-older-than field so you would not dequeue them but let the processor 
discard them. Much easier than have concurrent updates (however only efficient 
for certain traffic patterns)

Hi,

We have cases where we need to process events with different priorities, and 
such priority can change after the initial event having been queued, but not 
yet processed.

For example, when there is an event that some content has changed, we subscribe 
to this event and based on some conditions this might trigger the need to 
update some diagrams in our case. This is considered a "background priority" 
event, since we simply want to get it updated when we have some cycles so as 
not being stuck doing it whenever someone requests such diagram to view/edit it.

We also have events when someone for example requests to open such a diagram, 
where we need to determine if it is up to date, and if it needs to be updated, 
to get this pushed and processed as quickly as possible, as the user is waiting.

So far we have setup 2 different push streams to support this.

The issue here is that while this is high-priority event comes in, we need to 
make sure that we can cancel any similar queued events from the low priority 
stream, and possibly let it proceed if it is already being processed.

What is the best approach here ? Are we on the right track to start with?

Thanks
Alain
