Description ----------- This module provides a scheduler service for the Software Heritage platform. It allows to define tasks with a number of properties. In this documentation, we will call these swh-tasks to prevent confusion. These swh-tasks are stored in a database, and a HTTP-based RPC service is provided to create or find existing swh-task declarations. The execution model for these swh-tasks is using Celery. Thus, each swh-task type defined in the database must have a (series of) celery worker capable of executing such a swh-task. Then a number of services are also provided to manage the scheduling of these swh-tasks as Celery tasks. The `scheduler-runner` service is a daemon that regularly looks for swh-tasks in the database that should be scheduled. For each of the selected swh-task, a Celery task is instantiated. The `scheduler-listener` service is a daemon that listen to the Celery event bus and maintain scheduled swh-tasks workflow status. SWH Task Model ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Each swh-task-type is the declaration of a type of swh-task. Each swh-task-type have the following fields: - `type`: Name of the swh-task type; can be anything but must be unique, - `description`: Human-readable task description - `backend_name`: Name of the task in the job-running backend, - `default_interval`: Default interval for newly scheduled tasks, - `min_interval`: Minimum interval between two runs of a task, - `max_interval`: Maximum interval between two runs of a task, - `backoff_factor`: Adjustment factor for the backoff between two task runs, - `max_queue_length`: Maximum length of the queue for this type of tasks, - `num_retries`: Default number of retries on transient failures, - `retry_delay`: Retry delay for the task, Existing swh-task-types can be listed using the `swh scheduler` command line tool:: $ swh scheduler task-type list Known task types: check-deposit: Pre-checking deposit step before loading into swh archive index-fossology-license: Fossology license indexer task load-git: Update an origin of type git load-hg: Update an origin of type mercurial You can see the details of a swh-task-type:: $ swh scheduler task-type list -v -t load-git Known task types: load-git: swh.loader.git.tasks.UpdateGitRepository Update an origin of type git interval: 64 days, 0:00:00 [12:00:00, 64 days, 0:00:00] backoff_factor: 2.0 max_queue_length: 5000 num_retries: None retry_delay: None An swh-task is an 'instance' of such a swh-task-type, and consists in: - `arguments`: Arguments passed to the underlying job scheduler, - `next_run`: Next run of this task should be run on or after that time, - `current_interval`: Interval between two runs of this task, taking into account the backoff factor, - `policy`: Whether the task is "one-shot" or "recurring", - `retries_left`: Number of "short delay" retries of the task in case of transient failure, - `priority`: Priority of the task, - `id`: Internal task identifier, - `type`: References task_type table, - `status`: Task status ( among "next_run_not_scheduled", "next_run_scheduled", "completed", "disabled"). So a swh-task consist basically in: - a set of parameters defining how the scheduling of the swh-task is handled, - a set of parameters to specify the retry policy in case of transient failure upon execution, - a set of parameters that defines the job to be done (`bakend_name` + `arguments`).

Celery workers for swh-scheduler based tasks should be started using the Celery app in `swh.scheduler.celery_config`. This later, among other things, provides a loading mechanism for task types based on pkg_resources declared plugins under the `[swh.workers]` entry point. TODO: add a fully working example of a dumb task. Reference Documentation ----------------------- .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 + cli /apidoc/swh.scheduler
