Job Timeout and Six Times

[slingerbv]

When a job times out and the database-api removes the job, the controller will try to finish the job for a total of 6 times, because it fails every time. It would be better to not do this.

Hi Sai,

obviously, changing only the number of try-outs is not what is asked here. There should be a condition: it should only try six times when it is not removed from the queue. So this is not the fix: the fix should be an if statement somewhere that checks whether the timeout has resulted in removal from the queue. And if so, then it should not retry six times. Otherwise, it should.

Curious to see what you think.
