class RedisJobBoard(base.JobBoard):
    """A jobboard backed by `redis`_.

    Powered by the `redis-py <http://redis-py.readthedocs.org/>`_ library.

    This jobboard creates job entries by listing jobs in a redis `hash`_. This
    hash contains jobs that can be actively worked on by (and examined/claimed
    by) some set of eligible consumers. Job posting is typically performed
    using the :meth:`.post` method (this creates a hash entry with job
    contents/details encoded in `msgpack`_). The users of these
    jobboard(s) (potentially on disjoint sets of machines) can then
    iterate over the available jobs and decide if they want to attempt to
    claim one of the jobs they have iterated over. If so they will then
    attempt to contact redis and they will attempt to create a key in
    redis (using a embedded lua script to perform this atomically) to claim a
    desired job. If the entity trying to use the jobboard to :meth:`.claim`
    the job is able to create that lock/owner key then it will be
    allowed (and expected) to perform whatever *work* the contents of that
    job described. Once the claiming entity is finished the lock/owner key
    and the `hash`_ entry will be deleted (if successfully completed) in a
    single request (also using a embedded lua script to perform this
    atomically). If the claiming entity is not successful (or the entity
    that claimed the job dies) the lock/owner key can be released
    automatically (by **optional** usage of a claim expiry) or by
    using :meth:`.abandon` to manually abandon the job so that it can be
    consumed/worked on by others.

    NOTE(harlowja): by default the :meth:`.claim` has no expiry (which
    means claims will be persistent, even under claiming entity failure). To
    ensure a expiry occurs pass a numeric value for the ``expiry`` keyword
    argument to the :meth:`.claim` method that defines how many seconds the
    claim should be retained for. When an expiry is used ensure that that
    claim is kept alive while it is being worked on by using
    the :py:meth:`~.RedisJob.extend_expiry` method periodically.

    """`Lua`_ **template** scripts that will be used by various methods (they
    are turned into real scripts and loaded on call into the :func:`.connect`
    method).

    Some things to note:

    - The lua script is ran serially, so when this runs no other command will
      be mutating the backend (and redis also ensures that no other script
      will be running) so atomicity of these scripts are  guaranteed by redis.

    - Transactions were considered (and even mostly implemented) but
      ultimately rejected since redis does not support rollbacks and
      transactions can **not** be interdependent (later operations can **not**
      depend on the results of earlier operations). Both of these issues limit
      our ability to correctly report errors (with useful messages) and to
      maintain consistency under failure/contention (due to the inability to
      rollback). A third and final blow to using transactions was to
      correctly use them we would have to set a watch on a *very* contentious
      key (the listings key) which would under load cause clients to retry more
      often then would be desired (this also increases network load, CPU
      cycles used, transactions failures triggered and so on).

    - Partial transaction execution is possible due to pre/post ``EXEC``
      failures (and the lack of rollback makes this worse).

    So overall after thinking, it seemed like having little lua scripts
    was not that bad (even if it is somewhat convoluted) due to the above and
    public mentioned issues with transactions. In general using lua scripts
    for this purpose seems to be somewhat common practice and it solves the
    issues that came up when transactions were considered & implemented.
