 ## Introduction
 
-The goal of this gem is to ensure your Sidekiq jobs are unique. We do this by creating unique keys in Redis based on how you configure uniqueness.
+This gem adds unique constraints to the sidekiq queues. The uniqueness is achieved by acquiring locks for a hash of a queue name, a worker class, and job's arguments. By default, only one lock for a given hash can be acquired. What happens when a lock can't be acquired is governed by a chosen `on_conflict`strategy.
+
+This is the documentation for the master branch. You can find the documentation for each release by navigating to its tag.
 
-## Documentation

+## Usage
+
+### Installation
+
+Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
 
-- [v5.0.10][]
-- [v4.0.18][]
+```ruby
+gem 'sidekiq-unique-jobs'
+```
+
+And then execute:
+
+```bash
+bundle
+```
+
+### Add the middleware
+
+Before v7, the middleware was configured automatically. Since some people reported issues with other gems (see [Other Sidekiq Gems](#other-sidekiq-gems)) it was decided to give full control over to the user.
+
+*NOTE* if you want to use the reaper you also need to configure the server middleware.
+
+[A full example](https://github.com/mhenrixon/sidekiq-unique-jobs/blob/master/myapp/config/initializers/sidekiq.rb#L12)
+
+```ruby
+Sidekiq.configure_server do |config|
+  config.redis = { url: ENV["REDIS_URL"], driver: :hiredis }
+
+  config.client_middleware do |chain|
+    chain.add SidekiqUniqueJobs::Middleware::Client
+  end
+
+  config.server_middleware do |chain|
+    chain.add SidekiqUniqueJobs::Middleware::Server
+  end
+
+  SidekiqUniqueJobs::Server.configure(config)
+end
+
+Sidekiq.configure_client do |config|
+  config.redis = { url: ENV["REDIS_URL"], driver: :hiredis }
+
+  config.client_middleware do |chain|
+    chain.add SidekiqUniqueJobs::Middleware::Client
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### Your first worker
+
+```ruby
+# frozen_string_literal: true
+
+class UntilExecutedWorker
+  include Sidekiq::Worker
+
+  sidekiq_options queue: :special,
+                  retry: false,
+                  lock: :until_executed,
+                  lock_info: true,
+                  lock_timeout: 0,
+                  lock_prefix: "special",
+                  lock_ttl: 0,
+                  lock_limit: 5
+
+  def perform
+    logger.info("cowboy")
+    sleep(1) # hardcore processing
+    logger.info("beebop")
+  end
+end
+
+```

 ## Requirements
 
-See [Sidekiq requirements][] for what is required. Starting from 5.0.0 only sidekiq >= 4 and MRI >= 2.2. ActiveJob is not supported
+- Sidekiq `>= 5.0` (`>= 5.2` recommended)
+- Ruby:
+  - MRI `>= 2.5` (`>= 2.6` recommended)
+  - JRuby `>= 9.0` (`>= 9.2` recommended)
+  - Truffleruby
+- Redis Server `>= 3.2` (`>= 5.0` recommended)
+- [ActiveJob officially not supported][48]
+- [redis-namespace officially not supported][49]
 
-### ActiveJob
+See [Sidekiq requirements][24] for detailed requirements of Sidekiq itself (be sure to check the right sidekiq version).
 
-Version 6 requires Redis >= 3 and pure Sidekiq, no ActiveJob supported anymore. See [About ActiveJob](https://github.com/mhenrixon/sidekiq-unique-jobs/wiki/About-ActiveJob) for why. It simply is too complex and generates more issues than I can handle given how little timer I have to spend on this project.
+## General Information
 
-### redis-namespace
+See [Interaction w/ Sidekiq](https://github.com/mhenrixon/sidekiq-unique-jobs/wiki/How-this-gem-interacts-with-Sidekiq) on how the gem interacts with Sidekiq.
 
-Will not be officially supported anymore. Since Mike [won't support redis-namespace](https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/issues/3366#issuecomment-284270120) neither will I.
+See [Locking & Unlocking](https://github.com/mhenrixon/sidekiq-unique-jobs/wiki/Locking-&-Unlocking) for an overview of the differences on when the various lock types are locked and unlocked.
 
-[Read this](http://www.mikeperham.com/2017/04/10/migrating-from-redis-namespace/) for how to migrate away from namespacing.
+## Global Configuration
 
-## Installation
+The gem supports a few different configuration options that might be of interest if you run into some weird issues.
 
-Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
+Configure SidekiqUniqueJobs in an initializer or the sidekiq initializer on application startup.
 
+```ruby
+SidekiqUniqueJobs.configure do |config|
+  config.logger = Sidekiq.logger # default, change at your own discretion
+  config.debug_lua       = false # Turn on when debugging
+  config.lock_info       = false # Turn on when debugging
+  config.lock_ttl        = 600   # Expire locks after 10 minutes
+  config.lock_timeout    = nil   # turn off lock timeout
+  config.max_history     = 0     # Turn on when debugging
+  config.reaper          = :ruby # :ruby, :lua or :none/nil
+  config.reaper_count    = 1000  # Stop reaping after this many keys
+  config.reaper_interval = 600   # Reap orphans every 10 minutes
+  config.reaper_timeout  = 150   # Timeout reaper after 2.5 minutes
+end
 ```
-gem 'sidekiq-unique-jobs'
+
+### debug_lua
+
+```ruby
+SidekiqUniqueJobs.config.debug_lua #=> false
 ```
 
-And then execute:
+Turning on debug_lua will allow the lua scripts to output debug information about what the lua scripts do. It will log all redis commands that are executed and also some helpful messages about what is going on inside the lua script.
 
+### lock_timeout
+
+```ruby
+SidekiqUniqueJobs.config.lock_timeout #=> 0
 ```
-bundle
+
+Set a global lock_timeout to use for all jobs that don't otherwise specify a lock_timeout.
+
+Lock timeout decides how long to wait for acquiring the lock. A value of nil means to wait indefinitely for a lock resource to become available.
+
+### lock_ttl
+
+```ruby
+SidekiqUniqueJobs.config.lock_ttl #=> nil
 ```
 
-Or install it yourself as:
+Set a global lock_ttl to use for all jobs that don't otherwise specify a lock_ttl.
 
+Lock TTL decides how long to wait after the job has been successfully processed before making it possible to reuse that lock.
+
+### enabled
+
+```ruby
+SidekiqUniqueJobs.config.enabled #=> true
 ```
-gem install sidekiq-unique-jobs
+
+Globally turn the locking mechanism on or off.
+
+### logger
+
+```ruby
+SidekiqUniqueJobs.config.logger #=> #<Sidekiq::Logger:0x00007fdc1f96d180>
 ```
 
-## Support Me
+By default this gem piggybacks on the Sidekiq logger. It is not recommended to change this as the gem uses some features in the Sidekiq logger and you might run into problems. If you need a different logger and you do run into problems then get in touch and we'll see what we can do about it.
 
-Want to show me some ❤️ for the hard work I do on this gem? You can use the following [PayPal link][]. Any amount is welcome and let me tell you it feels good to be appreciated. Even a dollar makes me super excited about all of this.
+### max_history
 
-## General Information
+```ruby
+SidekiqUniqueJobs.config.max_history #=> 1_000
+```
 
-See [Interaction w/ Sidekiq](https://github.com/mhenrixon/sidekiq-unique-jobs/wiki/How-this-gem-interacts-with-Sidekiq) on how the gem interacts with Sidekiq.
+The max_history setting can be used to tweak the number of changelogs generated. It can also be completely turned off if performance suffers or if you are just not interested in using the changelog.
 
-See [Locking & Unlocking](https://github.com/mhenrixon/sidekiq-unique-jobs/wiki/Locking-&-Unlocking) for an overview of the differences on when the various lock types are locked and unlocked.
+This is a log that can be accessed by a lock to see what happened for that lock. Any items after the configured `max_history` will be automatically deleted as new items are added.
+
+### reaper
+
+```ruby
+SidekiqUniqueJobs.config.reaper #=> :ruby
+```
+
+If using the orphans cleanup process it is critical to be aware of the following. The `:ruby` job is much slower but the `:lua` job locks redis while executing. While doing intense processing it is best to avoid locking redis with a lua script. There for the batch size (controlled by the `reaper_count` setting) needs to be reduced.
+
+In my benchmarks deleting 1000 orphaned locks with lua performs around 65% faster than deleting 1000 keys in ruby.
+
+On the other hand if I increase it to 10 000 orphaned locks per cleanup (`reaper_count: 10_0000`) then redis starts throwing:
+
+> BUSY Redis is busy running a script. You can only call SCRIPT KILL or SHUTDOWN NOSAVE. (Redis::CommandError)
+
+If you want to disable the reaper set it to `:none`, `nil` or `false`. Actually, any value that isn't `:ruby` or `:lua` will disable the reaping.
+
+```ruby
+SidekiqUniqueJobs.config.reaper = :none
+SidekiqUniqueJobs.config.reaper = nil
+SidekiqUniqueJobs.config.reaper = false
+```
+
+### reaper_count
+
+```ruby
+SidekiqUniqueJobs.config.reaper_count #=> 1_000
+```
+
+The reaper_count setting configures how many orphans at a time will be cleaned up by the orphan cleanup job. This might have to be tweaked depending on which orphan job is running.
+
+### reaper_interval
+
+```ruby
+SidekiqUniqueJobs.config.reaper_interval #=> 600
+```
+
+The number of seconds between reaping.
+
+### reaper_timeout
+
+```ruby
+SidekiqUniqueJobs.config.reaper_timeout #=> 10
+```
+
+The number of seconds to wait for the reaper to finish before raising a TimeoutError. This is done to ensure that the next time we reap isn't getting stuck due to the previous process already running.
+
+### lock_prefix
+
+```ruby
+SidekiqUniqueJobs.config.lock_prefix #=> "uniquejobs"
+```
 
-## Options
+Use if you want a different key prefix for the keys in redis.
+
+### lock_info
+
+```ruby
+SidekiqUniqueJobs.config.lock_info #=> false
+```
+
+Using lock info will create an additional key for the lock with a json object containing information about the lock. This will be presented in the web interface and might help track down why some jobs are getting stuck.
+
+## Worker Configuration
+
+### lock_info
+
+Lock info gathers information about a specific lock. It collects things like which `lock_args` where used to compute the `lock_digest` that is used for maintaining uniqueness.
+
+```ruby
+sidekiq_options lock_info: false # this is the default, set to true to turn on
+```
+
+### lock_prefix
+
+Use if you want a different key prefix for the keys in redis.
+
+```ruby
+sidekiq_options lock_prefix: "uniquejobs" # this is the default value
+```
 
-### Lock Expiration
+### lock_ttl
 
-Lock expiration is used for two things. For the `UntilExpired` job releases the lock upon expiry. This is done from the client.
+Lock TTL decides how long to wait after the job has been successfully processed before making it possible to reuse that lock.
 
-Since v6.0.11 the other locks will expire after the server is done processing.
+Starting from `v7` the expiration will take place when the job is pushed to the queue.
 
 ```ruby
-sidekiq_options lock_expiration: nil # default - don't expire keys
-sidekiq_options lock_expiration: 20.days.to_i # expire this lock in 20 days
+sidekiq_options lock_ttl: nil # default - don't expire keys
+sidekiq_options lock_ttl: 20.days.to_i # expire this lock in 20 days
 ```
 
-### Lock Timeout
+### lock_timeout
 
 This is the timeout (how long to wait) when creating the lock. By default we don't use a timeout so we won't wait for the lock to be created. If you want it is possible to set this like below.

-### Unique Across Queues
+### unique_across_queues
 
 This configuration option is slightly misleading. It doesn't disregard the queue on other jobs. Just on itself, this means that a worker that might schedule jobs into multiple queues will be able to have uniqueness enforced on all queues it is pushed to.

-Locks when the client pushes the job to the queue. The queue will be unlocked when the server starts processing the job.

 ### While Executing
 
+```ruby
+sidekiq_options lock: :while_executing, lock_timeout: 10
+```
+
 With this lock type it is possible to put any number of these jobs on the queue, but as the server pops the job from the queue it will create a lock and then wait until other locks are done processing. It _looks_ like multiple jobs are running at the same time but in fact the second job will only be waiting for the first job to finish.
 
 **NOTE** Unless this job is configured with a `lock_timeout: nil` or `lock_timeout: > 0` then all jobs that are attempted to be executed will just be dropped without waiting.

-sidekiq_options lock: :while_executing, lock_timeout: nil

+### Custom Locks
+
+You may need to define some custom lock. You can define it in one project folder:
+
+```ruby
+# lib/locks/my_custom_lock.rb
+module Locks
+  class MyCustomLock < SidekiqUniqueJobs::Lock::BaseLock
+    def execute
+      # Do something ...
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+You can refer on all the locks defined in `lib/sidekiq_unique_jobs/lock/*.rb`.
+
+In order to make it available, you should call in your project startup:
+
+(For rails application config/initializers/sidekiq_unique_jobs.rb or other projects, wherever you prefer)
+
+```ruby
+SidekiqUniqueJobs.configure do |config|
+  config.add_lock :my_custom_lock, Locks::MyCustomLock
+end
+```
+
+And then you can use it in the jobs definition:
+
+`sidekiq_options lock: :my_custom_lock, on_conflict: :log`
+
+Please not that if you try to override a default lock, an `ArgumentError` will be raised.
+
 ## Conflict Strategy
 
 Decides how we handle conflict. We can either reject the job to the dead queue or reschedule it. Both are useful for jobs that absolutely need to run and have been configured to use the lock `WhileExecuting` that is used only by the sidekiq server process.
 
-The last one is log which can be be used with the lock `UntilExecuted` and `UntilExpired`. Now we write a log entry saying the job could not be pushed because it is a duplicate of another job with the same arguments

+
+(For rails application config/initializers/sidekiq_unique_jobs.rb for other projects, wherever you prefer)
+
+```ruby
+SidekiqUniqueJobs.configure do |config|
+  config.add_strategy :my_custom_strategy, Strategies::MyCustomStrategy
+end
+```
+
+And then you can use it in the jobs definition:
+
+```ruby
+sidekiq_options lock: :while_executing, on_conflict: :my_custom_strategy
+```
+
+Please not that if you try to override a default lock, an `ArgumentError` will be raised.

-  chain.add SidekiqUniqueJobs::Server::Middleware
   chain.add Sidekiq::GlobalId::ServerMiddleware
+  chain.add SidekiqUniqueJobs::Middleware::Server
+end
+```
+
+The reason for this is that the global id needs to be set before the unique jobs middleware runs. Otherwise that won't be available for uniqueness.
+
+#### sidekiq-status
+
+It was reported in [#564](https://github.com/mhenrixon/sidekiq-unique-jobs/issues/564) that the order of the middleware needs to be as follows.
+
+```ruby
+# Thanks to @ArturT for the correction
+
+Sidekiq.configure_server do |config|
+  config.client_middleware do |chain|
+    chain.add SidekiqUniqueJobs::Middleware::Client

+    chain.add SidekiqUniqueJobs::Middleware::Client
+    chain.add Sidekiq::Status::ClientMiddleware, expiration: 30.minutes
+  end
 end
 ```
 
+The reason for this is that if a job is duplicated it shouldn't end up with the status middleware at all. Status is just a monitor so to prevent clashes, leftovers and ensure cleanup. The status middleware should run after uniqueness on client and before on server. This will lead to less surprises.
