Exactly! I would love to see a task queue based record importer. (I keep thinking about a Koha plugin to provide a web ui for scheduling OAI-PMH harvesting, and then third-party applications that can consume from the task queue, stage the records… probably via the REST API… and then enqueue tasks to a high performance record importer worker…)
Are you going to the Hackfest in Marseille? (I wanted to go this year but life is just too hectic this year, although planning to go to Kohacon in October.) A task queue could be a great Hackfest project…

Agreed! I think a task queue would be a huge benefit to Koha, we have so many long running batch operations.

One of these days we should push forward more on queues: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22417.

Are you talking about these files
https://github.com/Koha-Community/Koha/blob/master/debian/templates/apache-shared-intranet-plack.conf#L14-L21
?
I did nothing specific, so they are probably broken :)
