Graceful shutdown

[noonien]

When stopping the worker, I'd like to be able to tell the jobs that they should stop. And re-queue them on other workers.

In my use-case I've implemented the method to signal that the job needs to stop, however, there's no way to stop the job without either marking it as completed or as failed.

If I re-queue the job manually, I lose the MaxFails options, if I fail the job by returning an error, work still cannot honor the MaxFails value.

How would one go about doing this? I suggest if a job returns a work.ErrSkip error , MaxFails should not be increased.

How did you implement the method to handle job specific handling. Was it using middleware or something else?
