Fingers crossed! Wish I could just find some docs on this...

Signed up for iTunes Match earlier this week... Most of the songs in my library are non-drm (mp3) and it still took about 18 hours to do steps 1 & 2 (indexing & ?) across 22k songs. Music is stored on a (slow) network attached drobo

Tried to upload music and received this hilarious message: http://yfrog.com/ocygcp After trying a 2nd time through the non-wizard interface, it turns out all 72 of my songs on this machine are iTunes DRM'd. Humph.

That it's the unvested portion definitely makes a difference... But to be ethical you really can't just take unvested shares from employees because they have "too much", which is how the WSJ tells the story. Sounds like Pincus gave performa

Awesome, and awesome looking interface. Reminds me of Our project Norc, (github.com/darrellsilver/norc). Kue has intermediate statusnof the job, which would be a great feature for Norc.

That sounds super interesting! This sentence raises a question: > You can chain tasks, so say TaskA launches another task. You can retry tasks if they fail. How does this chaining work? Does each Task define its children? I've found t

Yeah, the terminology isn't well-defined. Jobs start with any tasks that return True when asked due_to_run(), which can be schedule, parents' status, etc. Glad I could clear it up!

I've been hearing really good things about RabbitMQ, and haven't been particularly impressed with SQS. It works at scale (we're currently at 10s of thousands a day, but it's probably the same performance at 100 or 1000x that...) but tasks

If I understand the question the answer is yes. I think you're asking if you can retry portions of a job, like if a task breaks but doesn't exit with an error, thus causing the rest of the job to continue. In this case, yes, you can retry

I've heard some great things about Celery, and I think it may be better at handling massive amounts of tasks (10s of thousands) without using SQS like Norc. How does it handle logs, resources and changing trees? Gonna have to look into it m

Comparing Norc to batch is similar to comparing it to cron. Many of the limitations of batch processing come with retrying or auditing complex trees of dependencies (bigger than a handful of tasks). It's like wrapper scripts. They work we

Norc isn't meant as a replacement for any queuing system, rather a replacement for Cron. We use Norc in conjunction with SQS, and find the former is good for scheduling, management, logging, while SQS is better for lots and lots of repetiti
