The task payload for docker-worker supports an onExitStatus field that allows you to register exit codes that result in specific actions taking place when they occur. For example, onExitStatus['retry'] allows you to define exit codes that will cause the task to be retried. And onExitStatus['purgeCaches'] allows you to define exit codes that result in caches used by the task being purged.

Firefox CI needs both these features (retry and cache nuking) to more robustly handle intermittent failures (such as VCS operations gone bad).

AFAICT equivalent functionality does not exist in generic-worker nor taskcluster-worker.

I'm filing this bug to track implementing this functionality so generic-worker and taskcluster-worker have feature parity with docker-worker.
