1888942 - Change how processor prioritizes queues

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Socorro :: Processor, task)

Description

[Daniel Thorn [:relud]]

the processor currently pulls from queues in a round-robin fashion like this:

standard, priority, reprocessing, standard, priority, reprocessing, ...

but it used to pull from queues like this:

priority, standard, reprocessing, standard, priority, standard, reprocessing, standard, ...

from :willkg in https://github.com/mozilla-services/socorro/pull/6554#discussion_r1532835513

We periodically have problems where someone (sometimes me) adds like 10k crash ids to the reprocessing queue and it causes the standard queue to back up which then alerts us. I'm wondering if we should re-institute the "favor the standard" behavior.

status is UNCONFIRMED because there has not yet been a decision to actually do this.
