54 * type : The name of the job types this queue handles
55 * order : Order that pop() selects jobs, one of "fifo", "timestamp" or "random".
56 * If "fifo" is used, the queue will effectively be FIFO. Note that
57 * job completion will not appear to be exactly FIFO if there are multiple
58 * job runners since jobs can take different times to finish once popped.
59 * If "timestamp" is used, the queue will at least be loosely ordered
60 * by timestamp, allowing for some jobs to be popped off out of order.
61 * If "random" is used, pop() will pick jobs in random order. This might be
62 * useful for improving concurrency depending on the queue storage medium.
63 * claimTTL : If supported, the queue will recycle jobs that have been popped
64 * but not acknowledged as completed after this many seconds.
65 *
66 * Queue classes should throw an exception if they do not support the options given.

187 * Register the "root job" of a given job into the queue for de-duplication.
188 * This should only be called right *after* all the new jobs have been inserted.
189 * This is used to turn older, duplicate, job entries into no-ops. The root job
190 * information will remain in the registry until it simply falls out of cache.
191 *
192 * This requires that $job has two special fields in the "params" array:
193 * - rootJobSignature : hash (e.g. SHA1) that identifies the task
194 * - rootJobTimestamp : TS_MW timestamp of this instance of the task
195 *
196 * A "root job" is a conceptual job that consist of potentially many smaller jobs
197 * that are actually inserted into the queue. For example, "refreshLinks" jobs are
198 * spawned when a template is edited. One can think of the task as "update links
199 * of pages that use template X" and an instance of that task as a "root job".
200 * However, what actually goes into the queue are potentially many refreshLinks2 jobs.
201 * Since these jobs include things like page ID ranges and DB master positions, and morph
202 * into smaller refreshLinks2 jobs recursively, simple duplicate detection (like job_sha1)
203 * for individual jobs being identical is not useful.
204 *
205 * In the case of "refreshLinks", if these jobs are still in the queue when the template
206 * is edited again, we want all of these old refreshLinks jobs for that template to become
207 * no-ops. This can greatly reduce server load, since refreshLinks jobs involves parsing.
208 * Essentially, the new batch of jobs belong to a new "root job" and the older ones to a
209 * previous "root job" for the same task of "update links of pages that use template X".
210 *
211 * This does nothing for certain queue classes.
