| Summary | 0007739: Creating background tasks should be idempotent. | ||||
| Description | Now it responds with 400, which is not even suitable for a name conflict. The "POST ../schedule" call is responsible. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

|
Agreed that background tasks should be just overridden by the owner, without any idempotent behavior. |

|
This waits 0007890 to be solved and the delivery of NLnet task 5. The dependency is not technical but based on priority. |
|
|
Well, with new architecture we may not have background tasks configured via REST anymore anyway. Should we keep this open as a reminder that background tasks need to be re-done, or mark "won't fix"? |

Was it agreed that Nexus will have in-Kotlin background tasks? IIRC a designer has proposed to have CRON(8) managing Nexus repetitive tasks. That would for sure cut on complexity. |

Yes, I think for the new design we proposed for the "background" tasks to be (separate) commands that can be invoked "at will". That said, there could be 3 variants: - one-shot: runs the repetitive task once, next time again via cron/systemd - long-poller: runs the repetitive task repeatedly, internally uses long-polling/notifications to wake up on-demand so things still appear "instantly" - sleep loop: runs the repetetive task in a while (1) { work; sleep; }-loop, so started only once to avoid high-cost of startup Which one(s) is best may depend on the task, but modulo long-polling complexity begin implemented, they can probably be all done by the same command with minor command-line option variations. |
