</span>Hi Jay,<br>

So just to be clear, are you saying that we should generate 2 notification messages on Rabbit for every DB update ? That feels like a big overkill for me. If I follow that login then the current state transition notifications should also be changed to "Starting to update task state / finished updating task state" - which seems just daft and confuisng logging with notifications.<br>
<br>
Sandy's answer where start /end are used if there is a significant amount of work between the two and/or the transaction spans multiple hosts makes a lot more sense to me. Bracketing a single DB call with two notification messages rather than just a single one on success to show that something changed would seem to me to be much more in keeping with the concept of notifying on key events.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>+1 Following similar thinking, Keystone recently dropped a "pending" notification that proceeded a single DB call, which was always followed by either a success or failure notification.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
