I'm running into a related issue with someone trying to do batch_record_modification.pl with a large number of records, but there are a million other use cases that require it. We've been talking about this issue for years, and I'm wondering if this is something where plugins might be useful. Tomas suggested an approach to me at Kohacon where Koha has a default built-in functionality, but then lets you use plugins to override that built-in functionality. Maybe we could make the hooks a "developer feature"? So the hook is only run in "developer mode", but that lets many developers write their own plugins to try and find something that works? And maybe the best plugin gets adopted by Koha to replace the default functionality, which I'm sure we all agree is not good enough right now. I wrote my own job server using POE::Component::JobQueue for #10662 and it works pretty well, but I'm sure it could be better. But I'd be happy to contribute a plugin for people to try out. I can't guarantee it would be the best solution, but it would be "a" solution. (With 10662, the job server runs as a standalone daemon process, and Koha, whether CGI or PSGI, connects to the daemon using a UNIX socket and uses JSON messages for talking about jobs.) There are lots of other options out there. I think Minion might be a good one since it's within the Mojolicious family. I was thinking of using it, but I think I didn't as it wasn't interactive enough for my purposes, but... I figure we should try out some things rather than just be in discussion forever? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
