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 $runnable->batch_size() jobs from the analysis_job table, does its
gets relevant configuration information from the database, does its
work, creates the next layer of analysis_job entries by interfacing to
the DataflowRuleAdaptor to determine the analyses it needs to pass it is
output data to and creates jobs on the next analysis\'s database.
It repeats this cycle until it is lived it is 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.

It repeats this cycle until it has lived its lifetime or until there are no
more jobs left to process.
The lifetime limit is a safety limit to prevent these from 'infecting'
a system and sitting on a compute node for longer than is socially exceptable.
This is primarily needed on compute resources like an LSF system where jobs
are not preempted and run until they are done.
The Queen's primary job is to create Workers to get the work down.
As part of this, she is also responsible for summarizing the status of the
analyses by querying the analysis_jobs, summarizing, and updating the
analysis_stats table. From this she is also responsible for monitoring and
'unblocking' analyses via the analysis_ctrl_rules.
The Queen is also responsible for freeing 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'. It is job is to query Queens if they need any workers and to
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.
It is also responsible for interfacing with the Queen to identify workers which died
unexpectantly so that she can free the dead workers unfinished jobs.
