The Beanstalkd adapter could support SynchronousWorkDispatcher with "peek"

The Beanstalkd adapter doesn't support the features provided by the SynchronousWorkDispatcher interface.

I think you are wrong about this. See https://github.com/kr/beanstalkd/blob/master/doc/protocol.txt#L360

Mmmh the Beanstalkd adapter (i.e. the PHP class) doesn't support the feature (because it's not implemented). But maybe this is this sentence that could be fixed:

In other words, you can't run a task and wait for it to finish, because Beanstalkd doesn't offer that feature.

I haven't thought about using peek, maybe there's indeed a way to make it work! Thanks for the link that's interesting.

No problemo, if you'd like I can help you. I have written some code that sends a message to Beanstalkd and keeps polling (a.k.a. peeking) untill the job was picked up by a consumer.

Feel free to contribute, I'd gladly merge it. I am not using this lib for the moment (it's used by a project that is in production) but anything to make it better is great!

Closing this because I do not have time to implement peek, also it's very old :-)
