Master the Art of Task Scheduling

• Task scheduling is the process of automatically completing specific tasks at scheduled times.
• Distributed scheduling is needed for high availability and to prevent duplicate execution of tasks.
• In single-machine scheduling, if there is an error in the program or system, the function becomes unavailable.
• In multi-machine scheduling, without proper control, multiple tasks can start at the same time leading to confusion and errors.
• Single-machine processing has limitations in handling large volumes of data or tasks.
• Spring provides the @Scheduled annotation to implement scheduling.
• To use @Scheduled, the annotation must be added to the method in the business class, and the @EnableScheduling annotation to the start-up class.
• Distributed scheduling is necessary for high availability, prevention of duplicate execution, and handling large volumes of data or tasks.
• Distributed scheduling can be achieved through various tools and frameworks.
• Some popular distributed scheduling tools are Apache Zookeeper, Quartz, and Spring Cloud Data Flow.
