1. What did you do this week?
Last week I was mainly polishing my work so far. The unit tests would sometimes fail due to a race condition when the server was not yet ready to accept connections. I now wait until the server is ready and only then start with the test. I also added error handling for cases when the configuration is missing or invalid (and tests for these scenarios). Further, I wrote documentation on how to actually use the Redis integration. Last but not least I benchmarked the code to see how the Redis queue compares to the normal disk queue and to be sure that I did not introduce a performance regression.
2. What is coming up next?
Implementing duplicate filtering with external data sources, for which I already did some work in week #2 when I evaluated disk-less external queues.
3. Did you get stuck anywhere?
No.
