Locking & Unlocking

When is my lock created?

• UntilExpired - when the client middleware runs

• UntilExecuted - when the client middleware runs

• UntilExecuting - when the client middleware runs

• WhileExecuting - when the server middleware runs.

• UntilAndWhileExecuting - A first lock (UntilExecuting) is created when the client middleware runs. A second lock (WhileExecuting) is created when the server runs.

• WhileExecutingReject - when the server middleware runs. Duplicates will be pushed to the dead queue after any configured waiting time (lock_timeout) is reached.

When is my lock released?

• UntilExpired - when the configured lock_ttl is hit. No other unlocking happens, unless you specify the configuration option lock_ttl: kind_of(Integer) the lock would never be released.

• UntilExecuted - after your worker is done executing its code.

• UntilExecuting - before your worker starts executing its code.

• WhileExecuting - after your worker is done executing its code.

• UntilAndWhileExecuting - The first lock (UntilExecuting) is released before your worker starts executing its code. The second lock is released after your worker is done executing its code.

• WhileExecutingReject - after your worker is done executing its code.
