HarperDB Jobs are asynchronous tasks performed by the Operations API.
Job Summary
Jobs uses an asynchronous methodology to account for the potential of a long-running operation. For example, exporting millions of records to S3 could take some time, so that job is started and the id is provided to check on the status.
The job status can be COMPLETE or IN_PROGRESS.
Example Job Operations
Example job operations include:
Example Response from a Job Operation
{
"message": "Starting job with id 062a1892-6a0a-4282-9791-0f4c93b12e16"
}
Whenever one of these operations is initiated, an asynchronous job is created and the request contains the ID of that job which can be used to check on its status.
