Abstract
Techniques for configuring an asynchronous task queue are disclosed. An example method includes enqueuing, by at least one hardware processor of a first computing node, a task in a task queue. The at least one hardware processor detects a lease request for the task. The lease request is received from a second computing node. The at least one hardware processor initiates a lease of the task to the second computing node. The at least one hardware processor updates a state of the task based on the lease. The at least one hardware processor determines whether to dequeue the task based on a task processing update received from the second computing node.
