Simple Scheduler

A simple to use, lightweight clustered scheduler for Java/Scala. It can be used for job processing also, but it is recommended that the operations are restricted to light-weight processing only.

Features

• Clustered: When a Lock is used, guarantees execution by a single scheduler instance
• Requirements: A single relational database table.
• Impact on database: Does not require pessimistic locking. With the possibility to process updates in batches, reduces the write load on the database. The task fetches adapt to the pending work-load

Getting Started

1. Include the jar as a maven dependency
2. Create the database table.
3. Create a DataSource reference. eg:

dataSource.setDriverClassName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
dataSource.setUsername(mySqlProfile.user);
dataSource.setPassword(mySqlProfile.password);
dataSource.setUrl("jdbc:mysql://hostname:3306/my_db_schema");

4. Create a JobResolverFactory or use the default job resolver that creates a new instance of the executor class on each invocation

JobResolverFactory jobResolverFactory = new ConstructionBasedFactory();

5. (Not required in a single instance mode) Create a Lock or use the default Redis based Lock

Lock lock = new RedisBasedLock(JedisPool jedisPool)

6. Create the Scheduler instance and start it

WorkConfig workConfig = new WorkConfig("host_name_1").logFailures(false);
SchedulerConfig schedulerConfig = new SchedulerConfig(dataSource, workConfig).withLock(lock);
Scheduler scheduler = new Scheduler(schedulerConfig, jobResolverFactory);
scheduler.start()

7. Register a few tasks (one time) irrespective of JVM restarts

scheduler.schedulerRegistry().register(new RepeatableTask("Fizz_Namespace", "PollJob-9", Duration.apply(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS), "com.foo.bar.poll.ReadJob").withParameters("Xing"));
scheduler.schedulerRegistry().register(new CronTask("Buzz_Namespace", "SR-192", "0/33 * * * * ?", "com.foo.bar.poll.SpecificReadsJob"));

8. Stop the Scheduler

scheduler.stop()
