I have an spring application which is serving APIs. Now want to develop a background job using the same spring context and I was planning to use jesque for that. I followed the jesque documentation for initializing the workers and enqueuing the jobs and its working fine.
The concern I have here is workers run as a thread in the same JVM as my main application whereas I wanted a worker to be a process in itself just like we have in resque for rails so that I can monitor and control it easily.
The other advantage will be that, whenever an application deploy/restart is in progress(ie. killing a JVM process and starting it again) the workers will not be killed at the same time and will keep processing the jobs. I should be able to restart them gracefully later on.
How can we start the jesque workers as a process?
