Gracefull shutdown documentation

[martinos]

I would like to know if there's a way to do a graceful shutdown of the Honeydew queues. For the moment I am calling the Honeydew.suspend() function on all queues and wait for a certain period of time. But I am wondering if there's a way to wait until all queues are suspended.

In my case I don't want jobs to be killed in the middle of their processing.

Check out the docs for Honeydew.start_workers/3, specifically the :shutdown option.

That option is a pass-through to the worker's supervision spec, so you can give it any of the options from the Supervisor.Spec.shutdown type.

Thanks a lot, I will try that tomorrow.
