Description

Currently do display a summary of all jobs, one has to call GET queue to retrieve all the jobids and then call GET queue/:jobid for each job. It would be nice to do this in a single call.

I would suggest:

• GET queue - mark deprecate
• GET queue/<jobID> - mark deprecate
• DELETE queue/<jobID> - mark deprecate
• GET jobs - return the list of JSON objects jobid but no detailed info
• GET jobs/fields=* - return the list of JSON objects containing detailed Job info
• GET jobs/<jobID> - return the single JSON object containing the detailed Job info for the job with the given ID (equivalent to GET queue/<jobID>)
• DELETE jobs/<jobID> - equivalent to DELETE queue/<jobID>
