This also changes the order in which the task is updated; the activity is
now saved first, so that it can be included in the task status change
notification sent to SocketIO clients.
Worker and Manager implementation of the "may-I-kee-running" protocol.
While running tasks, the Worker will ask the Manager periodically
whether it's still allowed to keep running that task. This allows the
Manager to abort commands on Workers when:
- the Worker should go to another state (typically 'asleep' or
'shutdown'),
- the task changed status from 'active' to something non-runnable
(typically 'canceled' when the job as a whole is canceled).
- the task has been assigned to a different Worker. This can happen when
a Worker loses its connection to its Manager, resulting in a task
timeout (not yet implemented) after which the task can be assigned to
another Worker. If then the connectivity is restored, the first Worker
should abort (last-assigned Worker wins).
The password check of worker API calls was 2 orders of magnitude slower
than actually handling the API call itself. Since the Worker authentication
is not that important (it's all on the same network anyway, and Worker
account registration is automatic too), lowering the BCrypt cost to the
minimum helps.
On my machine, this reduces the time for password checks from 50 to 2 ms.
SQLite can return `SQLITE_BUSY` errors when it's doing too many things at
the same time. This is now improved a bit by setting a 5-second timeout,
during which the SQLite driver will wait for the database to become
available. If that doesn't happen, Flamenco Manager will return a
`503 Service Unavailable` response so that the client knows to back off
a little.
The add-on code was copy-pasted from other addons and used the GPL v2
license, whereas by accident the LICENSE text file had the GNU "Affero" GPL
license v3 (instead of regular GPL v3).
This is now all streamlined, and all code is licensed as "GPL v3 or later".
Furthermore, the code comments just show a SPDX License Identifier
instead of an entire license block.
Some parts of Flamenco had a Command consist of "name + settings", and
other parts used "type + parameters" (with the same semantics). This is
now unified to "name + parameters".
