Pipeline is a structure that is used as an argument in functions of module with Exq.Middleware.Behaviour behaviour.

This structure must be returned by particular function to be used in the next middleware based on defined middleware chain.

Pipeline contains the following options:

• assigns - map that contains shared data across the whole job lifecycle
• worker_pid - process id of Exq.Worker.Server
• event - name of current middleware function, possible values are: before_work, after_processed_work and after_failed_work
• halted - flag indicating whether pipeline was halted, defaults to false
• terminated - flag indicating whether worker and pipeline were halted, If the flag was set to true, the job will not be dispatched and all after_*_work/1 will be skipped. For each specific middleware:
  • Exq.Middleware.Job: Will NOT remove the backup from job queue
  • Exq.Middleware.Logger: Will NOT record job as done or failed with timestamp
  • Exq.Middleware.Manager: Will NOT update worker counter
  • Exq.Middleware.Stats: Will NOT remove job from processes queue
