---------------------------------------
https://github.com/apache/james-project/pull/2284 contributed the software
timeout.
We are yet to declare those long tasks as "AsyncSafe"
> Task manager: issues with long tasks
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: JAMES-4042
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-4042
> Project: James Server
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: rabbitmq, task
> Affects Versions: master, 3.8.2
> Reporter: Benoit Tellier
> Priority: Major
>
> See JAMES-3955
> Today a tasks per default obey a 1 day consumer timeout (configurable!)
> Yet, we might have some tasks like deduplication that might take longer than
> a day to complete...
> As of today tihis means such a task would complete but very likely crash the
> consumer.
> Likely, getting such long jobs in the first place might not be the best idea.
> Things like deduplication could be packaged in separate binaries that one
> could run independently of James thus avoiding the issue altogether... We
> could allow this as an alternative way to run such long tasks.
> Moreover, I think if needed we could write a Proof Of Concept of running the
> GC on top of something like Apache Spark to leverage parallele computations.
