Description
The PanDA batch system needs tasks to write periodic log messages at least every 2 hours, to ensure that the task is still running and not in some stuck state. forcedPhotCoadd already does write VERBOSE log messages every 10 minutes, but stops doing this once it starts applying aperture corrections. Because the aperture corrections can take several hours, the lack of log messages can lead to PanDA killing the job, requiring additional re-attempts that may eventually fail again for the same reason.
So additional periodic logging, at VERBOSE level, are needed during aperture correction and any subsequent steps.
The looping_limit_default timeout in panda has been raised from 2 hours to 20 hours for the moment, so we are able to run successfully, but once this fix and
DM-33820are merged we should reset the limit back to its normal 2 hours.
