Alternative job in case of failure

[jdeel]

Is it possible to configure Sidekiq to run an alternative job in case of a job's failure?
I know that I could write some code to tackle this eventuality.
However I wonder if there is any chance to configure Sidekiq to switch to an alternative job in case of failure, in case writing more code would give a too complicated result.
Sidekiq may already be configured to run the original job many times, say any 10 minutes from 6 am to 8 am, hoping that what prevents the job from succeeding the first or the second time is not more an issue the next time (say a not available url). However it may happen that all the attempts fail. In this case, it might be useful to switch to an alternative task.

Checkout the sidekiq_retries_exhausted hook. https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/wiki/Error-Handling
I believe you could push another job in there.
