Updating job metadata while running #163
Description
I use jobs to perform unique short-to-medium-running tasks. The tasks are not just some background stuff, but something a user can observe.
The nature of a task lets me roughly estimate its progress (I paginate through an API), so I'm considering writing that progress to job metadata column once in a while. The reason is showing a rough progress estimation is much better user experience than just displaying a spinner for indefinite amount of time.
Yes, I am aware river API does not let me do that, but I have no problem with doing that myself. Just wanted to ask if that's a good idea and what are the chances of me breaking river job processing logic if I do so.
