Move Sidekiq jobs

I was looking for a way to move jobs from one high priority queue to another less prioritized in Sidekiq.

There is nothing built into Sidekiq to complete this, but obviously, you can just use Redis commands to do it.

Here is code snippet to do that.

        
        
        
    
from_queue_name = 'default'
to_queue_name = 'low'
count_block = proc { Sidekiq.redis do |conn|
  conn.llen("queue:#{from_queue_name}")
end }

while count_block.call > 0
  Sidekiq.redis do |conn|
    conn.rpoplpush "queue:#{from_queue_name}", "queue:#{to_queue_name}"
  end
end

This code snippet will move all the items from one queue to another until there are no more jobs.

Clear Sidekiq queues

Sidekiq is mostly used for moving long-running jobs into a background process. It uses Redis to manage its job queue. We often need to clear this queue of jobs to start afresh.

To clear the queue of jobs, I ran the following commands as listed in Sidekiq wiki.

        
Sidekiq::ScheduledSet.new.clear
Sidekiq::RetrySet.new.clear

Sometimes, these commands would clear the queue. Other times, you would need to clear the queue from Redis itself.
