If I have two workers listening on a single tube and a job comes through, will both workers attempt to handle the same job, or will it get claimed only by one?
Only one worker will claim your job. So it's one by one.
A job in beanstalk gets created by a client with the "put" command. During its
life it can be in one of four states: "ready", "reserved", "delayed", or
"buried". After the put command, a job typically starts out ready. It waits in
the ready queue until a worker comes along and runs the "reserve" command. If
this job is next in the queue, it will be reserved for the worker. The worker
will execute the job; when it is finished the worker will send a "delete"
command to delete the job.
A worker that wants to consume jobs from the queue uses "reserve", "delete",
"release", and "bury".
