Hi friends, Now that we have a lovely queue for our background jobs, we should make the patron import use the queue to process those and store the outcome. This will help us avoid the 500/600/whatever you set apache timeouts experienced by libraries whenever they import batches of patrons of any significant size. Cheers, Liz
This would be a huge improvement for libraries who import large batches of patrons.
I support this change! Currently, if a librarian imports a file too large, (over 2k), it eventually times out and gives an upstream proxy error, but the import continues chugging along invisibly. This is so confusing for the librarian, and they reach out for help or try multiple times. Sending it to the background jobs would make things much clearer and allow them to import their large patron files without it all falling apart.
