Estimated time until data gets processed

[Egrimm]

Is it possible to show on the WarcraftRealms.com site, how many batches of data (or however it is saved internally) are in the queue for processing, or even how long these take on average?

I don't know a thing on how you manage all this, suppose by using a script that checks every X time whether there's something in the queue, but I imagine it wouldn't add a lot of overhead to save this kind of status info Since most of the users of Census+ are statistics freaks, this would be nice to know in my opinion.

If this is already there, sorry, I couldn't find it. If so, please direct me to where it is.

The way it currently works, is that every 4 hours a process is run that will chew through the queue and process the data. It will process data for 2.5 hours and then it will take a break to do some additional post processing data. Uusually it can get all data processed that has been received since the last batch, but occasionally it will have to queue up for the next time.

It should be pretty rare to have to wait more than 8 hour for your data to be processed.

That being said, I could probably add in an estimated process time on the upload page just for fun!
