Conflict strategy "update"?

[tsauerwein]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. There is the new conflict strategy replace, which removes jobs with the same unique_args from the queue and adds a new job. The problem is that this new job is added to the end of the queue. In my particular case this might create a situation where the job for a particular entity will never be executed because it's always added to the end of the queue.

Describe the solution you'd like A conflict strategy update which keeps the position in the queue would resolve that problem.

Describe alternatives you've considered ?

Additional context I am not sure updating the job in the queue is feasible. Instead of using LREM to delete the job, a combination of LINSERT BEFORE/AFTER + LREM might be an option.

Hi @tsauerwein and thanks for the suggestion. This definitely sounds like a good addition, I'll take it into consideration.
