-Gearman
--------
-
-Gearman_ is a general-purpose protocol for distributing jobs to any
-number of workers. Zuul works with Gearman by sending specific
-information with job requests to Gearman, and expects certain
-information to be returned on completion. This protocol is described
-in `Zuul-Gearman Protocol`_.
-
-The `Gearman Jenkins Plugin`_ makes it easy to use Jenkins with Zuul
-by providing an interface between Jenkins and Gearman. In this
-configuration, Zuul asks Gearman to run jobs, and Gearman can then
-distribute those jobs to any number of Jenkins systems (including
-multiple Jenkins masters).
-
-In order for Zuul to run any jobs, you will need a running Gearman
-server. Zuul includes a Gearman server, and it is recommended that it
-be used as it supports the following features needed by Zuul:
-
-* Canceling jobs in the queue (admin protocol command "cancel job").
-* Strict FIFO queue operation (gearmand's round-robin mode may be
- sufficient, but is untested).
-
-To enable the built-in server, see the ``gearman_server`` section of
-``zuul.conf``. Be sure that the host allows connections from Zuul and
-any workers (e.g., Jenkins masters) on TCP port 4730, and nowhere else
-(as the Gearman protocol does not include any provision for
-authentication).

-Gearman Jenkins Plugin
-----------------------
-
-The `Gearman Plugin`_ can be installed in Jenkins in order to
-facilitate Jenkins running jobs for Zuul. Install the plugin and
-configure it with the hostname or IP address of your Gearman server
-and the port on which it is listening (4730 by default). It will
-automatically register all known Jenkins jobs as functions that Zuul
-can invoke via Gearman.
-
-Any number of masters can be configured in this way, and Gearman will
-distribute jobs to all of them as appropriate.
-
-No special Jenkins job configuration is needed to support triggering
-by Zuul.
-
Zuul Parameters
---------------
-Zuul will pass some parameters with every job it launches. The
-Gearman Plugin will ensure these are supplied as Jenkins build
-parameters, so they will be available for use in the job configuration
-as well as to the running job as environment variables. Builds can
-be triggered either by an action on a change or by a reference update.
-Both events share a common set of parameters and more specific
-parameters as follows:
