I think the function name can be improved. The name shouldJobBePaused describes what should be done by the caller. I always try to pick a function name that matches what the function does. So for this one, I feel that isJobPausingComplete would be better.

Also a documentation comment would be good. In Go, these always start with // {function name} .... It should describe that this returns true when the job status is pause-requested and there are no more active tasks.

Right now, the structure of the function is such that the entire function body is contained in a conditional. This is not a good idea, as it unnecessarily increases the complexity. Flipping the condition of the first if will un-indent the remaining code:

	if job.Status != api.JobStatusPauseRequested {
		return false, nil
	}

  // rest of the code

I think it would be be better to leave the logging to the caller of this function. Also what is logged here is not entirely true -- the job is still in state pause-requested, not in state paused, so logging that it is paused is incorrect.

By removing the logging, you can reduce the final return to just return numActive == 0, nil.

This code block feels a bit out of place. If I understand correctly, this is the flow that this code would handle:

  1. User cancels a task.
  2. There are other tasks that are still runnable but not active (i.e. status in {queued, soft-failed, paused}).
  3. Job is in status pause-requested.

To me this doesn't look like a status in which the pausing was complete.

This logic is also repeated quite a bit below. I think it's better to make a new function responsible for answering the question "is the job pausing, and is that process complete now?", and call that function from the places that need this.

Finally, some reordering can be done to optimise the code. Currently every check will count the tasks in the job, even when job.Status != api.JobStatusPauseRequested. It's good practice to do the cheapest check first, and the most expensive check last.

The comment makes sense to me! The only thing I am confused about is what you meant by "the pausing was complete".

"Pausing is complete" for me means that the work that should be done when the job goes to pause-requested is done, and it can be moved to state paused.

So for the pausing to be complete, we need all tasks to be in paused state, including tasks that are runnable but not in active state? In other words, instead of checking the number of active tasks here, we should check if the job has any tasks other than paused?

This log entry is giving the wrong information. If updateJobOnTaskStatusCanceled() is called, a task was cancelled and thus the log message cannot be correct. Same for the job status change reason "all tasks completed".

The same is true for other copies of this code. Don't make your code lie; in a task-failure-handling part of the code, don't make it log "all tasks completed".
