1145802 - queue: Claim Task response to include Task Definition

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Taskcluster :: Services, defect)

Description

[Pete Moore [:pmoore][:pete] [PTO until 13 April 2026]]

Currently when a worker claims a task, it needs to make a separate call to get the Task Definition.

We could return the Task Definition as part of the Claim Task response.

Note, this is not needed for the Reclaim Task response, since when reclaiming, the Task Definition should not have changed, and you should have already received it with the initial claim.

This would reduce requests...

The only objection I can come up with is that it's not pretty :)
 - I'm pretty sure that's not a valid reason.

Will be done in bug 1145802

Comment 3

[Pete Moore [:pmoore][:pete] [PTO until 13 April 2026]]

The remaining part after bug 1145802 is resolved is updating workers to use it.

There is no need to have a coordinated rollout, as far as I understand, as the task definition is still available via the old mechanics.

@jonasfj
Please advise if there will be any breaking changes to the Claim Task response (i.e. existing fields being removed or changed). Thanks!
