That seems to imply that queue itself is not distributed.
But maybe "distributed" refers to the fact that workers are running on multiple machines? (Though that is a bit confusing to me; sort of like calling Postgres a distributed database because the clients are on multiple machines.)
- welder 4y agoDistributed means a central broker (Redis) and many distributed workers (multi-process and multi-machine). It's the term used by Celery/RQ/Huey and others.
