(you can ignore my other message, which I sent before I read this - sorry) Task naming in transactions can easily be fixed by adding a little random suffix to the name. Either Google can do it or we can do it, either way is fine.
I understand that task “names” conflate two behaviors: * Preventing duplicates * Display in the console Not ideal but it’s what we have to work with. I can live with adding a UUID to the end of task names. It’s much harder to live with a console that doesn’t show at a glance what’s in the task queue :-( Thanks, Jeff On Thu, Apr 28, 2016 at 4:18 PM, Kim Lewandowski <klewandow...@google.com> wrote: > Hi Jeff, > > if we allowed named tasks then the transactional task could be rejected > because the task name already exists. > > "Task Name 1" -> Datastore transaction -> AddTask to Queue > "Task Name 1" -> Datastore transaction (???) -> ???? > > > On Wednesday, April 27, 2016 at 12:43:43 PM UTC-7, Jeff Schnitzer wrote: >> >> My task queues sometimes have a lot of tasks sitting in them for various >> reasons (usually failing/retrying).
