=head1 NAME

  Bio::EnsEMBL::Hive::Queen

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  The Queen of the Hive based job control system

=head1 DESCRIPTION

  The Queen of the Hive based job control system is responsible to 'birthing' the
  correct number of workers of the right type so that they can find jobs to do.
  It will also free up jobs of Workers that died unexpectantly so that other workers
  can claim them to do.

  Hive based processing is a concept based on a more controlled version
  of an autonomous agent type system.  Each worker is not told what to do
  (like a centralized control system - like the current pipeline system)
  but rather queries a central database for jobs (give me jobs).

  Each worker is linked to an analysis_id, registers its self on creation
  into the Hive, creates a RunnableDB instance of the Analysis->module,
  gets $analysis->stats->batch_size jobs from the job table, does its work,
  creates the next layer of job entries by interfacing to
  the DataflowRuleAdaptor to determine the analyses it needs to pass its
  output data to and creates jobs on the next analysis database.
  It repeats this cycle until it has lived its lifetime or until there are no
  more jobs left.
  The lifetime limit is just a safety limit to prevent these from 'infecting'
  a system.

  The Queens job is to simply birth Workers of the correct analysis_id to get the
  work down.  The only other thing the Queen does is free up jobs that were
  claimed by Workers that died unexpectantly so that other workers can take
  over the work.

  The Beekeeper is in charge of interfacing between the Queen and a compute resource
  or 'compute farm'.  Its job is to query Queens if they need any workers and to
  send the requested number of workers to open machines via the runWorker.pl script.
  It is also responsible for interfacing with the Queen to identify worker which died
  unexpectantly.

=head2 create_new_worker

  Description: Creates an entry in the worker table,
               populates some non-storable attributes
               and returns a Worker object based on that insert.
               This guarantees that each worker registered in this Queen's hive is properly registered.
