In many instances, it is useful to have more information about the
jobs that are scheduled to be processed for a specific data store but have not
yet started to run, as well as obtain a list of jobs that are currently being
processed.
When administering a data store, it is useful to know more about which
jobs are running in the data store in the following scenarios:
- An administrator of the
application sends a query to the Oracle Endeca Server data store and the server
becomes unresponsive because it is already running a long-running query. The
administrator can make a request to see when the Dgraph process for the data
store had started processing the query.
- An administrator of the
application would like to send an update and needs to verify whether any other
updates are already being processed, or are waiting in the queue, before
submitting a new update. Making an Administration Web Service request allows
the administrator to understand whether a new update will begin processing
immediately.
- An administrator of the
application wants to check which updates have been submitted recently.
- An administrator wants to
cancel a query that has been sent to the Oracle Endeca Server but has not yet
started running (is pending in the queue).
