New annotation for delayedJobs

Open adong opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

What happened: Usecase:

Users want jobA to trigger jobB, and it can takes a lot of time after jobA finished running (say ETL work to populate some data)

So users want jobB to run after x amount of time after jobA finished, say 60 mins, or even 2 hours.

Currently, user can create dummy jobs in between to make sure that

jobA -> jobDummy -> jobB

and jobDummy does nothing more than sleep 60m to wait.

What you expected to happen:

With new annotation delayedJobs: 60m to help users to achieve:

say A finished at ta time, and then triggers B, B has delayedJob say set to 1hr, then B would be put on the queue with time to execute tb = ta + 60m (similar to periodical jobs)

jobB runs the same amount of times as jobA runs

Additionally, with the annotation collapseBuilds set, then jobB will be debounced and will only run 1 time after the last jobA finished running

How to reproduce it: n/a
