    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-3028?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13753236#comment-13753236 ] 

Carsten Ziegeler commented on SLING-3028:
-----------------------------------------

I like the idea in general - can we come up with some criteria when a job needs to be kept after its finished? I don't want to keep all jobs all the time.So as you suggest we can configure a time for how long the jobs are kept, but I think we need an additional way to identify the jobs to keep.
Simplest solution would be to add this as a configuration property of the queue - but this doesn't feel quiet right

> For long-running jobs, it would be useful to have some means to track progress, which can be shown in a console for the user. This should include the following:
> * ETA
> * Completeness value computed from (optional, defaults to 1.0) max and current value (e.g. 42% or 23/100)
> * Log output stream for detailed progress information
> * Failure reason in case job failed
> AFAICS this requires a few changes to the existing implementation:
> * Jobs need additional support for setting properties, e.g. max and current progress value
> * Jobs need to be kept at least for a while after they completed/failed to give access to failure information/log stream
