+Delayed::Job (or DJ) encapsulates the common pattern of asynchronously executing
+longer tasks in the background.
+
+It is a direct extraction from Shopify where the job table is responsible for a
+multitude of core tasks. Amongst those tasks are:
+
+* sending massive newsletters
+* image resizing
+* http downloads
+* updating smart collections
+* updating solr, our search server, after product changes
+* batch imports
+* spam checks
+
+[Follow us on Twitter][twitter] to get updates and notices about new releases.

+
+Installation
+============
+delayed_job 3.0.0 only supports Rails 3.0+. See the [2.0
+branch](https://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job/tree/v2.0) for Rails 2.
+
+delayed_job supports multiple backends for storing the job queue. [See the wiki
+for other backends](https://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job/wiki/Backends).
+
+If you plan to use delayed_job with Active Record, add `delayed_job_active_record` to your `Gemfile`.
+
+```ruby
+gem 'delayed_job_active_record'
+```
+
+If you plan to use delayed_job with Mongoid, add `delayed_job_mongoid` to your `Gemfile`.
+
+```ruby
+gem 'delayed_job_mongoid'
+```
+
+Run `bundle install` to install the backend and delayed_job gems.
+
+The Active Record backend requires a jobs table. You can create that table by
+running the following command:
+
+    rails generate delayed_job:active_record
+    rake db:migrate
+
+For Rails 4.2, see [below](#rails-42)
+
+Development
+===========
+In development mode, if you are using Rails 3.1+, your application code will automatically reload every 100 jobs or when the queue finishes.
+You no longer need to restart Delayed Job every time you update your code in development.
+
+Rails 4.2
+=========
+Set the queue_adapter in config/application.rb
+
+```ruby
+config.active_job.queue_adapter = :delayed_job
+```
+
+See the [rails guide](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_job_basics.html#setting-the-backend) for more details.
+
+Rails 4
+=======
+If you are using the protected_attributes gem, it must appear before delayed_job in your gemfile.
+
+Upgrading from 2.x to 3.0.0 on Active Record
+============================================
+Delayed Job 3.0.0 introduces a new column to the delayed_jobs table.
+
+If you're upgrading from Delayed Job 2.x, run the upgrade generator to create a migration to add the column.
+
+    rails generate delayed_job:upgrade
+    rake db:migrate
+
+Queuing Jobs
+============
+Call `.delay.method(params)` on any object and it will be processed in the background.
+
+```ruby
+# without delayed_job
+@user.activate!(@device)
+
+# with delayed_job
+@user.delay.activate!(@device)
+```
+
+If a method should always be run in the background, you can call
+`#handle_asynchronously` after the method declaration:
+
+```ruby
+class Device
+  def deliver
+    # long running method
+  end
+  handle_asynchronously :deliver
+end
+
+device = Device.new
+device.deliver
+```
+
+handle_asynchronously can take as options anything you can pass to delay. In
+addition, the values can be Proc objects allowing call time evaluation of the
+value. For some examples:
+
+```ruby
+class LongTasks
+  def send_mailer
+    # Some other code
+  end
+  handle_asynchronously :send_mailer, :priority => 20
+
+  def in_the_future
+    # Some other code
+  end
+  # 5.minutes.from_now will be evaluated when in_the_future is called
+  handle_asynchronously :in_the_future, :run_at => Proc.new { 5.minutes.from_now }
+
+  def self.when_to_run
+    2.hours.from_now
+  end
+
+  class << self
+    def call_a_class_method
+      # Some other code
+    end
+    handle_asynchronously :call_a_class_method, :run_at => Proc.new { when_to_run }
+  end
+
+  attr_reader :how_important
+
+  def call_an_instance_method
+    # Some other code
+  end
+  handle_asynchronously :call_an_instance_method, :priority => Proc.new {|i| i.how_important }
+end
+```
+
+If you ever want to call a `handle_asynchronously`'d method without Delayed Job, for instance while debugging something at the console, just add `_without_delay` to the method name. For instance, if your original method was `foo`, then call `foo_without_delay`.
+
+Rails 3 Mailers
+===============
+Due to how mailers are implemented in Rails 3, we had to do a little work around to get delayed_job to work.
+
+```ruby
+# without delayed_job
+Notifier.signup(@user).deliver
+
+# with delayed_job
+Notifier.delay.signup(@user)
+
+# with delayed_job running at a specific time
+Notifier.delay(run_at: 5.minutes.from_now).signup(@user)
+```
+
+Remove the `.deliver` method to make it work. It's not ideal, but it's the best
+we could do for now.
+
+Named Queues
+============
+DJ 3 introduces Resque-style named queues while still retaining DJ-style
+priority. The goal is to provide a system for grouping tasks to be worked by
+separate pools of workers, which may be scaled and controlled individually.
+
+Jobs can be assigned to a queue by setting the `queue` option:
+
+```ruby
+object.delay(:queue => 'tracking').method
+
+Delayed::Job.enqueue job, :queue => 'tracking'
+
+handle_asynchronously :tweet_later, :queue => 'tweets'
+```
+
+Running Jobs
+============
+`script/delayed_job` can be used to manage a background process which will
+start working off jobs.
+
+To do so, add `gem "daemons"` to your `Gemfile` and make sure you've run `rails
+generate delayed_job`.
+
+You can then do the following:
+
+    RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job start
+    RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job stop
+
+    # Runs two workers in separate processes.
+    RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job -n 2 start
+    RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job stop
+
+    # Set the --queue or --queues option to work from a particular queue.
+    RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job --queue=tracking start
+    RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job --queues=mailers,tasks start
+
+    # Use the --pool option to specify a worker pool. You can use this option multiple times to start different numbers of workers for different queues.
+    # The following command will start 1 worker for the tracking queue,
+    # 2 workers for the mailers and tasks queues, and 2 workers for any jobs:
+    RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job --pool=tracking --pool=mailers,tasks:2 --pool=*:2 start
+
+    # Runs all available jobs and then exits
+    RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job start --exit-on-complete
+    # or to run in the foreground
+    RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job run --exit-on-complete
+
+**Rails 4:** *replace script/delayed_job with bin/delayed_job*
+
+Workers can be running on any computer, as long as they have access to the
+database and their clock is in sync. Keep in mind that each worker will check
+the database at least every 5 seconds.
+
+You can also invoke `rake jobs:work` which will start working off jobs. You can
+cancel the rake task with `CTRL-C`.
+
+If you want to just run all available jobs and exit you can use `rake jobs:workoff`
+
+Work off queues by setting the `QUEUE` or `QUEUES` environment variable.
+
+    QUEUE=tracking rake jobs:work
+    QUEUES=mailers,tasks rake jobs:work
+
+Restarting delayed_job
+======================
+
+The following syntax will restart delayed jobs:
+
+    RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job restart
+
+To restart multiple delayed_job workers:
+
+    RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job -n2 restart
+
+**Rails 4:** *replace script/delayed_job with bin/delayed_job*
+
+
+
+Custom Jobs
+===========
+Jobs are simple ruby objects with a method called perform. Any object which responds to perform can be stuffed into the jobs table. Job objects are serialized to yaml so that they can later be resurrected by the job runner.
+
+```ruby
+NewsletterJob = Struct.new(:text, :emails) do
+  def perform
+    emails.each { |e| NewsletterMailer.deliver_text_to_email(text, e) }
+  end
+end
+
+Delayed::Job.enqueue NewsletterJob.new('lorem ipsum...', Customers.pluck(:email))
+```
+
+To set a per-job max attempts that overrides the Delayed::Worker.max_attempts you can define a max_attempts method on the job
+
+```ruby
+NewsletterJob = Struct.new(:text, :emails) do
+  def perform
+    emails.each { |e| NewsletterMailer.deliver_text_to_email(text, e) }
+  end
+
+  def max_attempts
+    3
+  end
+end
+```
+
+To set a per-job max run time that overrides the Delayed::Worker.max_run_time you can define a max_run_time method on the job
+
+NOTE: this can ONLY be used to set a max_run_time that is lower than Delayed::Worker.max_run_time. Otherwise the lock on the job would expire and another worker would start the working on the in progress job.
+
+```ruby
+NewsletterJob = Struct.new(:text, :emails) do
+  def perform
+    emails.each { |e| NewsletterMailer.deliver_text_to_email(text, e) }
+  end
+
+  def max_run_time
+    120 # seconds
+  end
+end
+```
+
+To set a default queue name for a custom job that overrides Delayed::Worker.default_queue_name, you can define a queue_name method on the job
+
+```ruby
+NewsletterJob = Struct.new(:text, :emails) do
+  def perform
+    emails.each { |e| NewsletterMailer.deliver_text_to_email(text, e) }
+  end
+
+  def queue_name
+    'newsletter_queue'
+  end
+end
+```
+
+On error, the job is scheduled again in 5 seconds + N ** 4, where N is the number of attempts. You can define your own `reschedule_at` method to override this default behavior.
+
+```ruby
+NewsletterJob = Struct.new(:text, :emails) do
+  def perform
+    emails.each { |e| NewsletterMailer.deliver_text_to_email(text, e) }
+  end
+
+  def reschedule_at(current_time, attempts)
+    current_time + 5.seconds
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Hooks
+=====
+You can define hooks on your job that will be called at different stages in the process:
+
+```ruby
+class ParanoidNewsletterJob < NewsletterJob
+  def enqueue(job)
+    record_stat 'newsletter_job/enqueue'
+  end
+
+  def perform
+    emails.each { |e| NewsletterMailer.deliver_text_to_email(text, e) }
+  end
+
+  def before(job)
+    record_stat 'newsletter_job/start'
+  end
+
+  def after(job)
+    record_stat 'newsletter_job/after'
+  end
+
+  def success(job)
+    record_stat 'newsletter_job/success'
+  end
+
+  def error(job, exception)
+    Airbrake.notify(exception)
+  end
+
+  def failure(job)
+    page_sysadmin_in_the_middle_of_the_night
+  end
+end
+```

+============
+The library revolves around a delayed_jobs table which looks as follows:
+
+```ruby
+create_table :delayed_jobs, :force => true do |table|
+  table.integer  :priority, :default => 0      # Allows some jobs to jump to the front of the queue
+  table.integer  :attempts, :default => 0      # Provides for retries, but still fail eventually.
+  table.text     :handler                      # YAML-encoded string of the object that will do work
+  table.text     :last_error                   # reason for last failure (See Note below)
+  table.datetime :run_at                       # When to run. Could be Time.zone.now for immediately, or sometime in the future.
+  table.datetime :locked_at                    # Set when a client is working on this object
+  table.datetime :failed_at                    # Set when all retries have failed (actually, by default, the record is deleted instead)
+  table.string   :locked_by                    # Who is working on this object (if locked)
+  table.string   :queue                        # The name of the queue this job is in
+  table.timestamps
+end
+```
+
+On error, the job is scheduled again in 5 seconds + N ** 4, where N is the number of attempts or using the job's defined `reschedule_at` method.
+
+The default `Worker.max_attempts` is 25. After this, the job either deleted (default), or left in the database with "failed_at" set.
+With the default of 25 attempts, the last retry will be 20 days later, with the last interval being almost 100 hours.
+
+The default `Worker.max_run_time` is 4.hours. If your job takes longer than that, another computer could pick it up. It's up to you to
+make sure your job doesn't exceed this time. You should set this to the longest time you think the job could take.
+
+By default, it will delete failed jobs (and it always deletes successful jobs). If you want to keep failed jobs, set
+`Delayed::Worker.destroy_failed_jobs = false`. The failed jobs will be marked with non-null failed_at.
+
+By default all jobs are scheduled with `priority = 0`, which is top priority. You can change this by setting `Delayed::Worker.default_priority` to something else. Lower numbers have higher priority.
+
+The default behavior is to read 5 jobs from the queue when finding an available job. You can configure this by setting `Delayed::Worker.read_ahead`.
+
+By default all jobs will be queued without a named queue. A default named queue can be specified by using `Delayed::Worker.default_queue_name`.
+
+It is possible to disable delayed jobs for testing purposes. Set `Delayed::Worker.delay_jobs = false` to execute all jobs realtime.
+
+You may need to raise exceptions on SIGTERM signals, `Delayed::Worker.raise_signal_exceptions = :term` will cause the worker to raise a `SignalException` causing the running job to abort and be unlocked, which makes the job available to other workers. The default for this option is false.
+
+Here is an example of changing job parameters in Rails:
+
+```ruby
+# config/initializers/delayed_job_config.rb
+Delayed::Worker.destroy_failed_jobs = false
+Delayed::Worker.sleep_delay = 60
+Delayed::Worker.max_attempts = 3
+Delayed::Worker.max_run_time = 5.minutes
+Delayed::Worker.read_ahead = 10
+Delayed::Worker.default_queue_name = 'default'
+Delayed::Worker.delay_jobs = !Rails.env.test?
+Delayed::Worker.raise_signal_exceptions = :term
+Delayed::Worker.logger = Logger.new(File.join(Rails.root, 'log', 'delayed_job.log'))
+```
+
+Cleaning up
+===========
+You can invoke `rake jobs:clear` to delete all jobs in the queue.
