Input queues

An input queue stores input jobs before they are processed by the StreamServer. It queues input jobs if more jobs are sent to the StreamServer than it can process. In case of an unexpected StreamServer shutdown, the queue also provides robustness since it enables the StreamServer to reprocess the input jobs when it is restarted.

Several StreamServer applications can share the same input queue. This provides possibilities for scaling over multiple StreamServer applications.

If several versions of a Project are run simultaneously, the version number is automatically added to the queue names (input_1, input_2, etc.). This will make sure that version <x> and version <y> of a Project using the same Platform and input queues do not steal jobs from each other.
