Description

Some deployment strategies require the ability to stop services very quickly. We should support options for rsqueue that enable it to quickly abort in-progress work and return it to the work queue without waiting for a janitor to mark the work as abandoned.

See the Twelve-Factor App Disposability Section.

Done means the issue's requested options can quickly abort in-progress work and return it to the work queue without waiting for the janitor.
