Pulp

Problem¶

Plugin writers and users want to query tasks by data used as their RQ task parameters. For example, tasks that use base_version as an argument would be useful to query on later.

Solution¶

Have RQ tasks store the keyword, value pairs in a separate Table that foreign key relate to the Task model. Serialize these for the Task complete serialization.

The attribute can be called kwargs that shows a list of <key, value> tuples.

Security¶

We should have a decorators available for plugin writers to ensure this feature doesn't leak information it shouldn't. Specifically make a decorator called no_kwargs_recording that will disable the kwargs recording for a task.

Additionally it should take a list of kwarg names that will specifically be not recorded. For example:

no_kwargs_recording('password')
def myfunc(username, password):
    pass

This example would record the 'username' key and its value, but never the 'password' key.
