+# Task Scheduler
+
+The goal of this project is to provide a hands-on guide on building a scalable, distributed, fault-tolerant, task
+scheduler platform using Zookeeper in Java.
+
+## Maven Dependency
+
+Use the following maven dependency
+
+```
+
Runnable
, we could have designed our service to work with
+> Dockerfile
- leading to a generic task execution system! but we wanted to focus only on Zookeeper in this
+> article.
+
+Now let's look at the `ClientService`
+
+```java
+public class ClientService {
+ private final CuratorFramework curator;
+
+ public ClientService(CuratorFramework curator) {
+ this.curator = curator;
+ }
+
+ public String registerJob(Runnable jobDetail) {
+ String jobId = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
+ syncCreate(ZKUtils.getJobsPath() + "/" + jobId, jobDetail);
+ return jobId;
+ }
+
+ private void syncCreate(String path, Runnable runnable) {
+ // create the ZNode along with the Runnable instance as data
+ try {
+ ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
+ ObjectOutputStream objectOutputStream = new ObjectOutputStream(byteArrayOutputStream);
+ objectOutputStream.writeObject(runnable);
+ curator
+ .create()
+ .idempotent()
+ .withMode(CreateMode.PERSISTENT)
+ .forPath(path, byteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray());
+ } catch (Exception e) {
+ log.error("Unable to create {}", path, e);
+ throw new RuntimeException(e);
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+Once a job is registered, a unique ID is assigned to it and a **Persistent** node is registered on the Zookeeper with
+the randomly generated job ID in the path e.g. `/jobs/{job-id}`. Do notice that the `runnable` is serialized to a byte
+array and stored in the ZNode directly.
+
+Notice that we are creating the ZNode *synchronously* i.e. the function `syncCreate` will block until the ZNode is not
+created. In the later section, you will notice that we have used asynchronous operations to improve throughput.
+
+Why are we creating paths? So that we can set up *watches* on it. Watches allow us to be notified of any changes under
+the watched path. Zookeeper will invoke the `JobsListener` whenever a new node is *created or destroyed* under
+the `/jobs` path.
+
+> What would happen if the client is disconnected from the Zookeeper when a new job is registered? In such cases, the
+> watch won't be triggered and the client won't be notified. The Curator will automatically attempt to recreate the
+> watches upon reconnection.
+
+```java
+public class JobsListener implements CuratorCacheListener {
+ private final CuratorFramework curator;
+ private final CuratorCache workersCache;
+ private final ExecutorService executorService;
+ private final WorkerPickerStrategy workerPickerStrategy;
+
+ public JobsListener(
+ CuratorFramework curator,
+ CuratorCache workersCache,
+ WorkerPickerStrategy workerPickerStrategy) {
+ this.curator = curator;
+ this.workersCache = workersCache;
+ executorService = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
+ this.workerPickerStrategy = workerPickerStrategy;
+ }
+
+ @Override
+ public void event(Type type, ChildData oldData, ChildData data) {
+ if (type == Type.NODE_CREATED && data.getPath().length() > ZKUtils.JOBS_ROOT.length()) {
+ String jobID = ZKUtils.extractNode(data.getPath());
+ log.info("found new job {}, passing it to executor service", jobID);
+ // an executor service is used in order to avoid blocking the watcher thread as the job
+ // execution can be time consuming
+ // and we don't want to skip handling new jobs during that time
+ executorService.submit(
+ new JobAssigner(jobID, data.getData(), curator, workersCache, workerPickerStrategy));
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+When a new job is found, we hand over the Job ID to a different thread because we don't want to block the watcher
+thread.
+
+> All ZooKeeper watchers are serialized and processed by a single thread. Thus, no other watchers can be processed while
+> your watcher is running. Hence it's vital not to block the watcher
+>
+thread. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CURATOR/TN1
+
+We are setting up the watcher using `CuratorCache` - which will be explained later on.
+
+---
+
+### JobAssigner
+
+Once a job has been created, we need to execute it by finding an eligible worker based on a strategy. We can either
+choose a worker randomly or in a round-robin manner. Once a worker is chosen, we need to create an assignment between a
+JobID and a Worker ID - we do so by creating a Persistent ZNode on the path `/assignments/{worker-id}/{job-id}` . Once
+the assignment is created, we *delete* the `/jobs/{job-id}` path.
+
+> Deletion of job details of the assigned job eases the recoverability. If a leader dies and a new leader is elected, it
+> does not have to look at all the jobs present under /jobs/
and figure out which one is left unassigned.
+> Any
+> jobs present under/jobs/
are guaranteed to be unassigned - assuming that the assignment and
+> deletion have happened atomically.
+
+```java
+public class JobAssigner implements Runnable {
+
+ private final CuratorFramework curator;
+ private final String jobID;
+ private final CuratorCache workersCache;
+ private final WorkerPickerStrategy workerPickerStrategy;
+ private final byte[] jobData;
+ private String workerName;
+
+ public JobAssigner(
+ String jobID,
+ byte[] jobData,
+ CuratorFramework curator,
+ CuratorCache workersCache,
+ WorkerPickerStrategy workerPickerStrategy) {
+ this.jobID = jobID;
+ this.curator = curator;
+ this.workersCache = workersCache;
+ this.workerPickerStrategy = workerPickerStrategy;
+ this.jobData = jobData;
+ }
+
+ @Override
+ public void run() {
+ // from the list of workers, pick a worker based on the provided strategy and assign the
+ // incoming job to that worker
+ List
+> ConnectionLoss
and whether the Node already exists.
+
+### WorkerPickerStrategy
+
+We are using `Strategy` pattern to dynamically change the way we can choose a worker at runtime. The important thing to
+notice is that we have used *compare and swap* as a way to perform optimistic locking for `RoundRobinWorker` .
+
+```java
+public interface WorkerPickerStrategy {
+ ChildData evaluate(ListLeaderSelector
instances to pay attention to any connection state changes. If an
+> instance becomes the leader, it should respond to notification of being SUSPENDED or LOST Zookeeper session. If the
+> SUSPENDED state is reported, the instance must assume it might no longer be the leader until it receives a RECONNECTED
+> state. If the LOST state is reported, the instance is no longer the leader and its takeLeadership
method
+> should exit.
+
+When we detect that our instance has lost its connection from Zookeeper, we remove any watches that have been set up and
+throw a `CancelLeadershipException`. And then we wait until we are reconnected to the Zookeeper.
+
+Once reconnected, we generate a new name for the worker and set up appropriate watches. Since `autoRequeue()` was
+enabled during the leader election, the instance will enqueue itself for a chance of becoming a leader.
+
+---
+
+### Conclusion
+
+
+
+If you have read so far, I appreciate your patience. Hope you learnt something new today. Thank you for reading.
+
+Please feel free to ask any questions you might have in the comments.
