Cancel a job

[herlon214]

There is any way to cancel a job after sometime?

let job = client.submitJob('test', 'a')
// I need to cancel this job after 60 seconds, how I do this?

Updated:
I noticed that someone can cancel a job use gearadmin.

No, there is no way to cancel in Gearman protocol.
Actually, there is a function related to this behavior in Gearman server's code,which is in C language:

gearmand_error_t gearman_server_job_cancel(gearman_server_st& server,
                                           const char *job_handle,
                                           const size_t job_handle_length)

But, there is no cancel protocol in Gearman Protocol Specification.

what about CAN_DO_TIMEOUT

1. see http://gearman.org/protocol/
2. see 'timeout' parameter here: https://github.com/veny/GearmaNode#register-function

@veny maybe the gearman_server_job_cancel is an inner function? if not we should implement the protocol.

CAN_DO_TIMEOUT is not exactly the same with cancel.
