problem¶
The warnings reported in the log files are a symptom of the dead job detection (and mitigation). Problem is that the worker should react on the first 404 by the webui but isn't. It's retrying when it should rather abort the job processing at once.

Didn't find out much:
- The warning is shown when there is no worker associated when updating the status: https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/blob/master/lib/OpenQA/Schema/Result/Jobs.pm#L1107
- This would be the case if
update_statusis called- before worker has been associated to job
- after worker has been freed which as far as I see only happens when finalizing the job: https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/blob/master/lib/OpenQA/Schema/Result/Jobs.pm#L1484
- "Problem is that the worker should react on the first 404 by the webui but isn't.": Regarding the first warning I don't think so because the web UI doesn't send 404 in this case, just renders JSON:
{result: 1}

PR has been merged. I can not test whether this works in production. Since the problem only occurs occasionally I close the ticket. We can reopen it when it turns out the fix was not sufficient.
