A boat load of incredibly useful 'plugins' for Delayed::Job! DJ is a wonderful project and is incredibly useful, however it can be even more useful with just a few extras added in.

A proper 'Worker' class: DJ::Worker that accepts attributes.
Callbacks
Airbrake (Hoptoad) support, if using Airbrake.
Priority settings
Automatic re-enqueueing
Better scheduling
Unique jobs.
more ...

These are a few of the extras for DJ that are included here.

Create a migration to add the required dj_remixes fields to the delayed_job table:

h2. Using

h3. Basic Worker

h3. Unique Worker

Tell DJ to only allow one of this worker at a given time.

If the worker has an id attribute that then will be used in conjunction with the class name of the worker to form the unique key.

h3. Priority

Tell DJ to run this worker with a higher priority than others.

h3. Re-Enqueueing

Tell DJ to re-enqueue this worker after it has successfully completely. NOTE: This will actually create a new DJ object in the database, not reuse the same one.

h3. Attributes

The DJ::Worker class can accept attributes, similar to the way an ActiveRecord model can.
