# This class implements an 'exclusive lease'. We call it a 'lease'
|
|
# because it has a set expiry time. We call it 'exclusive' because only
|
|
# one caller may obtain a lease for a given key at a time. The
|
|
# implementation is intended to work across GitLab processes and across
|
|
# servers. It is a 'cheap' alternative to using SQL queries and updates:
|
|
# you do not need to change the SQL schema to start using
|
|
# ExclusiveLease.
|
|
#
|
|
# It is important to choose the timeout wisely. If the timeout is very
|
|
# high (1 hour) then the throughput of your operation gets very low (at
|
|
# most once an hour). If the timeout is lower than how long your
|
|
# operation may take then you cannot count on exclusivity. For example,
|
|
# if the timeout is 10 seconds and you do an operation which may take 20
|
|
# seconds then two overlapping operations may hold a lease for the same
|
|
# key at the same time.
