This is so that we +can react to changes we need for our GitLab.com deployment. We have a +tracking issue open to [remove the experimental +designation](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/scalability/issues/147) +from this feature; please comment there if you are interested in using +this in your own deployment. + +In addition to selecting queues by name, as above, the +`experimental_queue_selector` option allows queue groups to be selected +in a more general way using the following components: + +- Attributes that can be selected. +- Operators used to construct a query. + +### Available attributes + +From the [list of all available +attributes](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/app/workers/all_queues.yml), +`experimental_queue_selector` allows selecting of queues by the +following attributes: + +- `feature_category` - the [GitLab feature + category](https://about.gitlab.com/direction/maturity/#category-maturity) the + queue belongs to. For example, the `merge` queue belongs to the + `source_code_management` category. +- `has_external_dependencies` - whether or not the queue connects to external + services. For example, all importers have this set to `true`. +- `latency_sensitive` - whether or not the queue is particularly sensitive to + latency, which also means that its jobs should run quickly. For example, the + `authorized_projects` queue is used to refresh user permissions, and is + latency sensitive. +- `name` - the queue name. The other attributes are typically more useful as + they are more general, but this is available in case a particular queue needs + to be selected. +- `resource_boundary` - if the worker is bound by `cpu`, `memory`, or + `unknown`. For example, the `project_export` queue is memory bound as it has + to load data in memory before saving it for export. + +Both `has_external_dependencies` and `latency_sensitive` are boolean attributes: +only the exact string `true` is considered true, and everything else is +considered false. + +### Available operators + +`experimental_queue_selector` supports the following operators, listed +from highest to lowest precedence: + +- `|` - the logical OR operator. For example, `query_a|query_b` (where `query_a` + and `query_b` are queries made up of the other operators here) will include + queues that match either query. +- `&` - the logical AND operator. For example, `query_a&query_b` (where + `query_a` and `query_b` are queries made up of the other operators here) will + only include queues that match both queries. +- `!=` - the NOT IN operator. For example, `feature_category!=issue_tracking` + excludes all queues from the `issue_tracking` feature category. +- `=` - the IN operator. For example, `resource_boundary=cpu` includes all + queues that are CPU bound. +- `,` - the concatenate set operator. For example, + `feature_category=continuous_integration,pages` includes all queues from + either the `continuous_integration` category or the `pages` category. This + example is also possible using the OR operator, but allows greater brevity, as + well as being lower precedence. + +The operator precedence for this syntax is fixed: it's not possible to make AND +have higher precedence than OR. + +### Example queries + +In `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`: + +```ruby +sidekiq_cluster['enable'] = true +sidekiq_cluster['experimental_queue_selector'] = true +sidekiq_cluster['queue_groups'] = [ + # Run all non-CPU-bound queues that are latency sensitive + 'resource_boundary!=cpu&latency_sensitive=true', + # Run all continuous integration and pages queues that are not latency sensitive + 'feature_category=continuous_integration,pages&latency_sensitive=false' +] +``` + ## Ignore all GitHub import queues When [importing from GitHub](../../user/project/import/github.md), Sidekiq might |
